The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey’s 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 The new AirTrain system will replace the existing, outdated system with a state-of-the-art, 2.5-mile elevated rail structure and three new stations.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.

Domingo Gonzalez Associates is excited to be part of the team redesigning the AirTrain at Newark Liberty International Airport, a new 2.5-mile elevated rail system that replaces an existing system with a modern, efficient transportation link featuring three new stations. DGA designed the lighting for the original AirTrain, so we’re proud to collaborate with Tutor Perini Corporation, O&G Industries, Inc. Parsons Corporation and Dattner Architects to re-shape the future of one of the busiest airports in the country by delivering dynamic, architecturally appropriate and energy efficient lighting solutions for the new stations and guideway.

Peoria is considering building an airport complex to boost the economy. A study suggests this 220-acre complex could bring significant benefits: $1 billion in annual economic impact, $60 million in yearly tax revenue, and creation of 8,000 jobs. The estimated construction cost is $150 million. Similar to Scottsdale Airpark, Peoria Airpark would handle private jets and smaller planes, not big commercial airlines or cargo carriers. The study predicts that initially the airport could house 80 aircrafts, growing to 217 within two decades. #Construction #Airport #Taxes

🚧 Major Construction Alert at JFK International! 🚧 Heads up, travelers! New York City's busiest airport is about to undergo a $19 billion transformation, and things are going to get worse before they get better. Expect major traffic disruptions this summer as construction kicks into high gear. 🛠️ “There’s no sugarcoating it. Building a new airport while maintaining full flight operations won’t come without impacts,” says Port Authority Chairman Kevin O’Toole. But the end result will be worth it—a world-class airport for decades to come. 🌟 What You Need to Know: Use the AirTrain from Jamaica or Howard Beach to avoid traffic. It connects to Grand Central, Penn Station, and Atlantic Terminal. For pickups, wait in the cell phone lots until passengers are outside the terminal. Drop-off and pick-up at the Lefferts Blvd AirTrain stop—just an 8-minute ride to the terminals. Pre-book your parking at JFKAirport.com. While it's a bit of a hassle now, the future brings two new international terminals, expanded and modernized terminals, a new ground transportation center, and a revamped roadway network. Plan ahead, stay patient, and look forward to a brand-new JFK! ✈️ #travelindustry #traveladvisor #travelagent #jfk #airline

CHICAGO- United (UA) and American Airlines (AA) expressed their support for the plan proposed by the Chicago city earlier in April to alter the construction sequence for a new Global Terminal and two adjacent satellite concourses at O'Hare Airport (ORD). Initially, the plan prioritized the construction of the two satellite concourses, which would have provided additional gate space for airlines. #AmericanAirlines #AmericanAirlinesChicagoExpansion #AmericanAirlinesChicagoRevamp #AmericanUnitedSignsChicagoRevamp #CHICAGOAIRPORT #ChicagoOhare$85BillionRevampPlan #ChicagoOHareAirport #ChicagoOhareRevampPlan #UnitedAirlines #UnitedAirlinesChicagoExpansion #UnitedAirlinesChicagoRevamp #UnitedandAmericanChicagoRevamp

We're expecting more than 1.3 million travelers at JFK International Airport this week, and record travel + peak redevelopment construction = congested roadways! We urge travelers to avoid driving directly to airport terminals. Take the subway or the train - AirTrain JFK is just 20 minutes from NY Penn, Grand Central, or Atlantic Terminal via the LIRR! If you must drive, use the free Pick-Up and Drop-Off Lot at the Lefferts Blvd AirTrain station. "Not only are we at peak construction, but we are handling record numbers of passengers," said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton. "We are working round-the-clock to make sure that getting to and from JFK goes as smoothly as possible. And in less than two years, when the first new terminals open and the new road network is complete, travelers will see that the pain was worth the gain."
