U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy, Special Advisor to the Amtrak Board Andy Byford and Penn Transformation Partners (PTP) have unveiled the design renderings for the redevelopment of New York Penn Station. PTP, a joint venture led by Halmar and Skanska, will serve as the master developer for the project.
PTP’s vision will make the nation’s busiest passenger facility safer, more spacious and better connected, Amtrak said. Under the plan devised by PTP, Madison Square Garden will remain in place, and throughout construction, the arena and all railroads – which include NJ Transit, the Long Island Rail Road and, eventually, Metro-North – will continue to operate.
“We named this project Penn Station Transformation for the exact reason depicted in these renderings; a world-class, beautiful and modern train station is coming to New York City,” said Byford. Details of the project’s cost and construction timeline have yet to be released.
