NEW YORK, NY — AECOM Tishman has been selected by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) as the construction manager for the Dyer Avenue deck-overs project. These are the first contracts associated with the Midtown Bus Terminal replacement project. The new deck-overs will allow for the staging of buses during the larger construction project before ultimately being transformed into 3.5 acres of new publicly accessible open green space once the construction of the new bus terminal is complete.
“For more than a century, AECOM Tishman has managed the construction of some of New York’s most iconic infrastructure projects, and we are proud to have been selected to assist the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey with the first piece of the Midtown Bus Terminal replacement project,” said Eric Reid, PE, Chief Operating Officer, AECOM Tishman. “We have been honored to support the vision of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for more than five decades, and we are grateful for the opportunity to play a role in the delivery of this once-in-a-generation project that will improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of commuters and enhance the surrounding community.”
In late July, the PANYNJ’s Board of Commissioners authorized the contracts to construct the $271 million Dyer Avenue deck-overs — the first construction contracts associated with the new bus terminal. The Dyer Avenue deck-overs project encompasses the construction of two decks over below-grade portions of Dyer Avenue and the Lincoln Tunnel Expressway between West 37th and West 38th Streets and between West 38th and West 39th Streets.
As the world’s busiest bus terminal, the new facility will replace the existing 73-year-old, functionally obsolete terminal with a facility that is critical to the interconnected economies of New York and New Jersey.
