Port Authority of New York and New Jersey

Construction projects at area airports and crossings are about to get more eco-friendly. On Sept. 22, in honor of Climate Week, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced the implementation of the agency's Clean Construction Program, which is dedicated to reducing carbon emissions on agency projects.

With passenger numbers and revenues mere fractions of what they were in 2019, airlines and airports are rethinking some of their largest expenditures amid the ongoing pandemic. Specifically, the wide-sweeping billion-dollar renovation projects under way at hubs across the country.

While the coronavirus has made Newark Liberty International Airport a ghost town for travel, inside the new Terminal One the pace is just the opposite as lots of work continues to progress since the final piece of steel was lowered in place last October.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) Driving or taking a train into New York City and to area airports is going to cost more starting in a little over a month, as the authority that operates a large chunk of the city's transportation infrastructure raises fares to fund large-scale repairs and improvements.

NEW YORK (AP) The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey authorized more than $4 billion in rail projects, including a new rail link to LaGuardia Airport that had been a source of contentious debate in recent years. The new train connecting midtown Manhattan to LaGuardia and a replacement for Newark Liberty International Airport's monorail will cost about $2 billion each.

NEW YORK (AP) A rail line that will let train passengers travel between midtown Manhattan and LaGuardia Airport will be started with the signature of legislation by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. “How can you not have a rail train to the city from a New York airport? I mean, it's just incomprehensible, right?,” the Democrat said June 25 before signing the AirTrain construction bill into law after detailing the plans during an event at the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan.

The Port Authority of New York/New Jersey and Global Container Terminals (GCT) are one year into the construction of a ship-to-rail port facility adjacent to the recently expanded GCT Bayonne container terminal.

The Port Authority Board of Commissioners approved a major rehabilitation and resiliency project for the Holland Tunnel to repair and restore critical mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems caused by Superstorm Sandy, and to install protective measures to mitigate future flooding in the facility.

Plans for a new Terminal One at Newark Liberty International Airport advanced with the Port Authority's Board of Commissioner's approval of Tutor Perini/Parsons, a fully integrated joint venture between Tutor Perini Corporation and Parsons Transportation Group Inc., for the design and construction of the new 21st century facility, which will provide passengers with a world-class customer experience, create jobs and boost the region's economy.

The Port Authority announced that it has awarded an agreement to a consultant for the second phase of an environmental review for the Cross Harbor Freight Movement Program. The review, expected to take up to three years, will perform a more detailed analysis of the environmental effects and potential mitigation measures for two preferred alternatives identified in the prior Tier 1 study to move freight across New York Harbor.
