Construction is progressing on the Port Authority’s new Midtown Bus Terminal, which is being designed to make commuting faster, more reliable and more comfortable.

The state-of-the-art facility will have more room for buses and passengers, modern amenities and better connections to the Lincoln Tunnel. New ramps and dedicated bus staging areas will help reduce bottlenecks, improve bus operations and ease congestion on nearby streets. And for commuters, that means easier connections to the subway, a terminal that’s simpler to navigate, and more places to grab a bite or shop along the way.

The major project is broken up into two phases, which includes:
Deckovers
Ramps
Storage and staging facility/interim terminal
New main terminal

More than just a walkway, it's a connection between New York and New Jersey.

Whether you're commuting, enjoying a walk or taking in the views of the Hudson River, the newly renovated South Walk offers a safer, smoother and more accessible way to experience the George Washington Bridge.

With both walkways now open, pedestrians have dedicated use of the South Walk, while cyclists exclusively use the North Walk, providing each group with its own path across the Hudson River.
This milestone is part of the Port Authority's ongoing $2 billion Restoring the George program, helping preserve and modernize one of the region's most iconic crossings for generations to come.

“The Port Authority is all about creating connections, whether that's by plane, train, vehicle, or your own two feet,” said Port Authority Chairman Kevin O'Toole. “Today, we're strengthening that connection with safer, smoother, and more accessible pathways across the George Washington Bridge for commuters, recreational users, and visitors who just want a spectacular view. The new South Walk, paired with the North Walk, gives everyone looking to walk or pedal their way across the world's busiest bridge an easier, more enjoyable way to do it.”

“The overhaul of these walkways was only made possible thanks to the extraordinary engineering behind our Restoring the George program,” said Port Authority Executive Director Kathryn Garcia. “We took advantage of the closures needed to replace all 592 suspender ropes on the bridge to give these walkways a comprehensive makeover with wider ramps, new viewing areas, and more safety features. Now, with both walkways reopened, pedestrians and cyclists can enjoy their own paths at their own pace.”

🚨 TRAVEL ADVISORY: HOBOKEN STATION (10/11–11/13) 🚨

Due to Portal Bridge construction & NJ TRANSIT service changes, riders at Hoboken should expect significantly higher passenger volumes & longer waits. PATH will increase weekday peak service to accommodate the add’l ridership. All Midtown Direct service will be diverted to Hoboken during this time.

For Midtown Direct customers traveling between Hoboken and Midtown Manhattan, cross-honoring will be in effect on PATH between Hoboken and 33rd St. and on NY Waterway ferries between Hoboken Terminal and W. 39th St. in Midtown Manhattan.

To avoid the heaviest congestion, customers who have flexibility are strongly encouraged to travel outside the morning peak of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. On weekdays, traveling before 7:00 a.m. or after 9:00 a.m. will provide a more comfortable trip. Customers traveling during peak periods should allow additional time and expect crowded conditions at Hoboken.

A major milestone for the Hudson Tunnel Project: The Gateway Development Commission (GDC) today celebrated the start of tunnel boring for the Hudson Tunnel Project, the first new rail tunnel under the Hudson River in more than 100 years.

The two tunnel boring machines launching this fall will dig approximately one mile through the Palisades Cliffs in New Jersey, advancing about 30 feet per day. After reaching the Hudson County Access Shaft in roughly a year, they’ll be replaced by a second pair of machines that will continue tunneling beneath the Hudson River.

The Port Authority is managing delivery of the Palisades Tunnel construction package in partnership with the Gateway Development Commission.

“The launch of this tunnel boring machine marks a major milestone for a project that is essential to the future of our region. Gateway will strengthen the connection between New York and New Jersey, as well as improve the reliability and resilience of the nation’s busiest passenger rail corridor. The Port Authority is proud to be a partner in moving this transformational project forward.” — Chairman Kevin O’Toole

“Gateway continues to build real momentum, and the Port Authority is proud to play a supporting role in this generational infrastructure project that will strengthen the region and drive long-term economic growth. We’re contributing $2.7 billion and bringing our deep engineering and technical expertise to help move this critical regional priority forward.” — Executive Director Kathryn Garcia

Climate Week NYC and Hunger Action Month come together this September, and so does an opportunity to spotlight food rescue at our airports. Surplus food from JFK, LGA, and EWR is collected by local nonprofits and distributed to those experiencing food insecurity in our region. In partnering with nonprofits such as @CityHarvest, @TableToTableOrg, and Gotham Food Pantry, our airport terminals have rescued approximately 70 tons of food since 2024. That's the equivalent of over 100,000 meals that would have otherwise gone to waste but have instead gone to those in need.

Thank you to our terminal operators, concessionaires, and nonprofit partners for their collaboration on this important program!

Next-gen terminals. Next-level engineering. Instead of using trucks to move construction materials and debris from the redevelopment of JFK International Airport, barges have helped us to eliminate more than 250,000 trips. That's more than 7.5 million miles of truck travel that has been eliminated from local roads and highways surrounding JFK.​

Replacing trucks with barges has lessened the environmental impact of construction at JFK on the surrounding communities while supporting the Port Authority’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.​

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey together with leading clean transportation nonprofit CALSTART have launched a $45M electric truck and charging incentive program. To boost sustainable operations across the East Coast's busiest seaport, the Port Authority and CALSTART will work to electrify drayage and terminal operations.

This $45 million partnership with CALSTART puts zero-emission trucks, terminal tractors, and charging infrastructure within reach for the operators who serve this port every day. Cleaner trucks here mean cleaner air not just for our port facilities, but for every community along the routes these trucks travel.” — Port Authority Chairman Kevin O’Toole

“The Port Authority has committed to reaching net-zero by 2050, and we can't get there without bringing our tenants, contractors, and partners like the trucking community along with us." — Port Authority Executive Director Kathryn Garcia

In the aftermath of 9/11, Port Authority engineers raced to devise a plan to rebuild 7 World Trade Center and its electrical substation, which was needed to power lower Manhattan and its financial institutions that were critical to the nation’s economy.

“There was never any doubt about what had to be done. It was essential that they rebuilt that substation as quickly as they could,” recalled Alan Reiss, then the Port Authority’s director of the World Trade Center and now the agency’s deputy chief of major capital projects. “There was a collective sense that we had to do this.”
