Dattner Architects’ Post

Dattner Architects is thrilled to be the Architect for the team selected to design and build the new AirTrain at Newark Liberty International Airport. This prestigious project, awarded by The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey last week, marks a significant milestone in the ongoing redevelopment of one of the nation's busiest airports. The new AirTrain system will replace the existing, outdated system with a state-of-the-art, 2.5-mile elevated rail structure and three new stations. This project is a critical component of the Port Authority's vision to transform Newark Liberty International Airport into a world-class transportation hub. Working within the Tutor Perini Corporation/ O&G Industries, Inc. Design/Build team and with Lead Engineer Parsons Corporation, Dattner Architects is excited to continue the collaboration that led to the winning proposal.   Dattner Architects' involvement in this project underscores our leadership in the field of transportation architecture and our commitment to creating innovative, resilient, and sustainable public infrastructure solutions.

NEW: The Port Authority has awarded joint-venture firm Tutor Perini/O&G with a design-build contract to replace Newark Liberty International Airport's existing outmoded AirTrain system. The project will include a 2.5-mile elevated rail structure, known as the guideway, and three new stations for the new AirTrain system that will align with the ongoing redevelopment of the airport. “Our major airports are the front doors of this region for the rest of the world and ensuring easy, reliable public transit to and from the airport is critical,” said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton. “As we embark on the Newark vision plan, a new AirTrain is essential to both meeting increasing volumes at our airports and delivering a world-class passenger experience for Newark Liberty passengers.” Learn more about our plans to reimagine Newark Liberty: https://ow.ly/AT0u50U7qZi #ANewEWR #Aviation #Redevelopment
