NEW YORK (May 30, 2025) – HNTB congratulates the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) on their groundbreaking of the Dyer Avenue deck-overs, which is the first stage of the Midtown Bus Terminal Redevelopment program.

The Dyer Avenue deck-overs project includes the construction of two decks over the below-grade portions of Dyer Avenue and the Lincoln Tunnel Expressway located between West 37th and West 38th Streets and West 38th and West 39th Streets.

HNTB is providing program management services for the Midtown Bus Terminal Redevelopment program as part of a joint venture. The joint venture oversees the environmental impact statement, design, project controls, procurement and construction management.

“This is a significant milestone for the Port Authority,” said Kevin R. Collins, HNTB’s New York office leader and senior vice president. “We are excited to help get this project underway with this initial phase, which is a critical element of the overall program. This phase will provide space for bus operations and passenger services during construction and create future open space for the community.”

The deck-overs will facilitate construction of the new bus terminal and will be used for staging of buses during construction. Upon completion of the main terminal, the staging area will be transformed into 3.5 acres of publicly accessible open space, reconnecting communities that had been divided by the current terminal.

“Through thoughtful planning, we are helping the Port Authority deliver this critical project for the city while maintaining service throughout the construction of the new terminal,” Roger Prince, PANYNJ client service leader at HNTB. “This is just the beginning of a program that will promote modern, community-focused transportation infrastructure.”

Full completion of the Midtown Bus Terminal project is expected in 2032.
