Port Authority Announces $10 Billion Overhaul of Midtown Bus Terminal

The project, expected to take eight years, aims to replace the outdated facility with a modern, world-class transit hub.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has moved forward with plans to replace the 73-year-old Midtown bus terminal, estimating the project to cost $10 billion and take eight years to complete.
Federal approval is sought after the submission of a draft environmental impact statement, with a public comment period now open.
The new design includes a shiny entrance, 3.5 acres of green space, and the construction of two skyscrapers to help fund the project.
Significant traffic disruptions in Midtown are expected during construction, but the Port Authority has developed sophisticated traffic management plans.
The overhaul aims to transform the current 'miserable' facility into a state-of-the-art transit hub, complete with charging stations for electric buses and improved community integration.
