en.Wedoany.com Reported - A joint venture between Turner Construction and STV Group has been appointed as the construction manager for the $10 billion Midtown Bus Terminal redevelopment project in New York City.
Gus Maimis, Senior Vice President of STV Construction, stated that this is one of the most complex transportation construction projects in the United States, requiring rigorous execution from the outset, with a focus on keeping buses running, protecting the community, safely delivering the first phase, while laying the foundation for the entire reconstruction.
The Midtown Bus Terminal redevelopment project is one of the most significant bus projects in New York City's history. The existing terminal, which opened in 1950, was originally conceived by Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia to consolidate eight smaller bus terminals in Midtown into a single hub. At its peak before the COVID-19 pandemic, the terminal handled approximately 260,000 passengers on an average weekday, making it one of the busiest bus terminals in the world. Today, it serves about 205,000 passengers daily.
The new terminal plan was first announced in 2021 as part of the broader $306 billion New York infrastructure plan. In early 2025, following a unanimous 45-0 vote by the New York City Council and the issuance of a Federal Record of Decision by the Federal Transit Administration after an environmental review, the $10 billion terminal redevelopment project received federal and municipal approval. The completed facility will be a 2.1 million square foot main terminal designed to meet projected passenger demand through 2050, featuring new ramps for direct access to and from the Lincoln Tunnel connecting Manhattan and New Jersey. The design includes a flagship atrium entrance at 41st Street and Eighth Avenue, enhanced street-level retail space, net-zero emissions targets, and infrastructure to support an all-electric bus fleet.
The first phase, a temporary terminal, is expected to be completed in 2028, with the main terminal opening in 2032. The project is expected to create 6,000 union construction jobs and forms part of the Port Authority's $45 billion regional capital plan covering 2026 to 2035. Christopher Zegler, Vice President and Principal at Turner, stated that delivering this project in the heart of Manhattan while keeping the terminal fully operational requires precise planning and rigorous execution.
