New Bus Terminal To Be Built for the Future and Designed To Be Net-Zero Emissions.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has broke ground on the Dyer Avenue deck-overs, marking the first stage in construction of the new Midtown Bus Terminal.
“Here in New York, we are showing the world what is possible when government and the local community commit to making the vision of modern infrastructure a reality,” Governor Hochul said. “A new Midtown Bus Terminal will deliver an enhanced experience for millions of riders, breathe new life into the surrounding neighborhood and ensure that this gateway to the City is one New Yorkers can be proud of for generations to come.”
The deck-overs will facilitate construction of the new bus terminal and will be used for staging of buses during construction. Ultimately, the deck-overs will be transformed into 3.5 acres of new publicly accessible open green space after construction of the new bus terminal is complete.
Governor Phil Murphy said, “This project is another major step toward modernizing our transportation infrastructure, improving the commuter experience, and reducing bus congestion. Just as importantly, it will create thousands of good-paying union jobs, bolstering our workforce and economy.”
