The Next Phases Are Underway For The Complete Redevelopment Of Newark Airport
As Port Authority continues to make progress on JFK‘s $19 billion transformation and the reconstruction of LaGuardia Airport, the newest redevelopment phase of Newark Airport has been unveiled through the EWR Vision Plan.
Design firm Arup and architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill have worked alongside Port Authority to reimagine an EWR that will meet the growing passenger demands in years to come.
‘Newark Liberty Airport serves as the gateway for millions of passengers, offering them their first welcome to the great state of New Jersey,” said Governor Phil Murphy. “The EWR Vision plan will solidify Newark Liberty’s status as a premier regional and international transportation hub. This transformation will not only enhance passenger service but also strengthen the airport’s role as a key economic driver for New Jersey and the surrounding region.”
Under the new plan, EWR sets out to add a new Terminal B to build upon the recently awarded new Terminal A, update its roadway network, and rework the taxiway to decrease delays and make room for more aircrafts.
Newark’s AirTrain will also be replaced for “a modern, reliable 2.5-mile automated people mover train system.” Moreover, access points will be added to Newark Liberty International Airport Rail Station to service underserved communities.
“This forward-thinking Vision Plan ensures it will be a world-class hub for global trade, tourism, and business for generations to come, while continuing to drive economic growth and jobs for New Jersey residents and the entire region,” echoed U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver. “Along with modernizing and enhancing the customer experience from curb to gate, the plan also advances the Port Authority’s commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon emissions, making it a huge win on all fronts.”
Port Authority has kept sustainability at the forefront of the EWR Vision Plan, on track to reach its net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
