Construction for the new Midtown Bus Terminal has begun with a groundbreaking ceremony on Dyer Avenue by Governors Kathy Hochul and Phil Murphy. The initial phase includes deck-overs that will temporarily stage buses during construction and will transform into almost 4 acres of green space post-completion. The overhaul aims to replace the outdated 75-year-old terminal with a state-of-the-art facility to better serve millions of commuters daily, symbolizing government and community collaboration in enhancing transportation infrastructure in New York City.
As announced on Dec. 4 last year, the deck-overs above Dyer Avenue will serve as a staging site for buses during the heavy work period.
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, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said.
Upon completion, the new state-of-the-art Midtown Bus Terminal will serve hundreds of thousands of commuters each day as they head to work, school, medical appointments or return home, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said.
The obsolete, dreary infrastructure of the 75-year-old depot will be turned into what officials call a world-class bus terminal.
