Port Authority officials are warning travelers to be prepared for gridlock near JFK Airport, as a $19 billion renovation project picks up steam — promising a transformation decades in the making at the tri-state’s busiest international airport
"This is a massive undertaking," said Rick Cotton, the executive director at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.$9.5 billion for Terminal 1, which will be the most extensive part of the project, as it becomes a the new international terminal.$4.2 billion for Terminal 6, with investors like JetBlue.Phase one is expected to be completed in 2026. Construction is already underway, but will get started in earnest on May 1.
In an effort to ensure the same conditions don't spring up at, Port Authority has opened an airport operations center at JFK Airport, where traffic engineers can monitor conditions around the clock. There may be other challenges as well. The Air Train won’t stop at Terminal 1 for the next seven months, so workers can build a steel frame over it. A taxi stand at Terminal 5 will also be moved, creating a 10-minute walk for a cab."I don’t think so. Passengers will walk up that bridge and they’re in and out of the airport," she said.
