New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey broke ground Thursday on the Dyer Avenue deck-overs, marking the first stage in the construction of the new Midtown Bus Terminal. The deck-overs represent the first step in the $10-billion replacement of the existing 75-year-old, functionally obsolete bus terminal.
When complete, the project will include a new main terminal, a separate storage and staging building and new ramps leading directly into and out of the Lincoln Tunnel. The plan calls for permanent closure of a portion of 41st Street between Eighth and Ninth avenues, a central main entrance, more street-facing retail, a multi-story indoor atrium and new public open space.
“It is incredibly satisfying to break ground on the first stage of construction of a new Midtown Bus Terminal that will improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of daily commuters between New Jersey and New York, and greatly improve the community hosting it,” said Port Authority Chairman Kevin O’Toole.
