en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has selected a joint venture between STV and Turner Construction to serve as the construction manager for the first phase of the Midtown Manhattan Bus Terminal replacement project, overseeing the massive $10 billion undertaking. While the total project cost is $10 billion, the specific value of this construction management contract has not been disclosed.
The first phase of construction includes building a 900,000-square-foot, seven-story temporary terminal and new ramp infrastructure. These improvements are designed to ensure continuous bus service for over 200,000 daily commuters during the full replacement of the terminal. The construction team will need to coordinate demolition, new construction, and the integration of existing transportation systems in one of Manhattan's most congested areas.
Last summer, the Port Authority selected Los Angeles-based Tutor Perini as the general contractor under a $1.87 billion guaranteed maximum price contract to build the first phase ramp structures and temporary terminal. The newly selected STV-Turner Construction joint venture will serve as the construction manager overseeing this work. Additionally, the Dyer Avenue deck-overs project is also part of the first phase—an elevated platform built over the below-grade section of Dyer Avenue and the Lincoln Tunnel Expressway, which will be used for bus parking during construction and later transformed into 3.5 acres of public open space once the major construction is complete. According to the Port Authority's project page, AECOM Tishman is the construction manager for the deck-overs project, with MLJ Contracting serving as the general contractor.
The Port Authority stated that the second phase of the overall bus terminal project will demolish the existing terminal, which first opened in 1950, and build a new terminal in its place, at which point the temporary terminal will be converted into a bus parking and storage facility.
Gus Maimis, Associate Vice President of STV's Project Management and Construction Management Operations Group, said in a press release that this is one of the most complex transportation construction projects in the United States, requiring rigorous management from day one. Christopher Zegler, Vice President and Principal at Turner Construction, emphasized in the release that delivering this project in the heart of Manhattan while keeping the terminal fully operational demands precise planning and flawless execution. STV and Turner Construction have previously collaborated on major infrastructure projects such as LaGuardia Airport, the New York Police Academy, and the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hospital.
