New York Penn Station Redevelopment

planned

The US Department of Transportation and Amtrak Board have selected Penn Transformation Partners consortium (Halmar and Skanska) as private sponsor to lead the redevelopment of New York's Penn Station. The project includes a new rail terminal with a principal entrance on Eighth Avenue, replacement of congested passageways with open concourses, increased track capacity, and partial introduction of through-running services for New Jersey Transit and Long Island Rail Road. The works will proceed without dismantling Madison Square Garden, with a new external envelope planned to give the complex a more classical architectural expression. Upgrades to the existing substructure will modernize assets and improve operational performance.
