Thanks for creating the thread. I was actually searching on here the other day to see if it was being watched by the forum. This article is only a few weeks old with a ton of pics > **[I toured the future flagship terminal currently under construction at Newark...](https://www.businessinsider.com/touring-new-terminal-1-at-newark-airport-27-billion-redevelopment-2020-7)** > > Terminal 1 is the first project of the $2.7 billion redevelopment of the airport that aims to create a "world-class" facility like the new LaGuardia. ---

I worked on this project for a while when it was still in proposal stages back in 2009. I got assigned to a different project in Abu Dhabi and continued to move on to different projects and countries eventually so I completely forgot about it until recently. It’s nice to see the progress. It looks almost exactly the same too from what I can remember except for maybe the monorail. ---

Yeah for sure. I went to SIT in Hoboken so I tracked a lot of the stuff on the forum in real time especially Hudson Yards. Worked for the PA for a while as well. Glad to see there is a community dedicated to public improvement. ---

This was a great update. I was wondering if any plans had changed due to the pandemic. Also, good to see the estimated completion date. The technology (like e-gates) is going to bring this airport into the 21st century. I’m always so jealous when I see videos of people at newer airports like Dubai or HK. Now Newark will be a first class global airport. I can’t wait to fly out of there! ---

Terminal 2 is next. The PA has plans for a new Terminal 2 at Newark. And Terminal 3 is quite nice and doesn’t need replacement. So Newark will be a very nice airport in the coming years. ---

I think this is current enough. I went searching in the Port Authorities site to see if there was more current info, like if they’d found a planner but it sent me to the newark airport site which for some reason wouldn’t load for me. If anyone finds anything, you know where to send it. ---

The Port Authority has not published any news regarding this project since _August 2021._ That last news was also about the monorail, not the construction in general. Given the fact, that its opening has been pushed later more than _once_, clearly the PA isn’t treating this project as a priority or of much significance compared to LGA or JFK which seem to be their ‘flagship pet projects’. EWR’s got a pretty boring design and not as much fanfare as the other two airports. I’ve been following this project very closely since this airport I travel out of often. [https://www.ewrredevelopment.com/news/](https://www.ewrredevelopment.com/news/) I also found some possible design renderings of a future Terminal B off some random PA powerpoint I found. They ain’t the highest of resolution but its _something._ ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/1/d/1db633309a1cf3f4ef026edd54a5c2b1bc267f00.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/8/d/8d8ab6adad89420d382168f1b0d662f2059f1182.png) ---

Newark is getting tons of work. Newark Terminal A is wrapping up construction, Terminal B is next and the Newark Airtrain is being replaced. PATH is eventually being extended to meet the rebuilt Airtrain and a huge new rental car/parking center is being built. ---

Interesting. The article had mentioned the Port Authority had sent out a request for a planner. It said it was due back in April, I was just wondering if they had posted any confirmation of acquiring one. Unfortunately no such luck. ---

Given the snail’s pace of progress on this project and the PA’s lack of actually giving updates, I don’t expect any news on this for a while. ---

That’s annoying. But at least it seems LaGuardia is going rather quick. Hope JFK keeps that pace. ---

JFK seems to be advancing with some level of speed, mainly the pretty disappointing expansion of T4. The steelwork’s already going up and groundbreaking for the new T1 is anticipated for this year. EWR definitely got the short end of the stick from the PA. > **[Governor Hochul Announces Plan to Build World-Class $9.5 Billion...](https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-hochul-announces-plan-build-world-class-95-billion-international-terminal-jfk-airport)** > > Governor Hochul announced that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has reached a revised agreement with The New Terminal One (NTO) - a consortium of financial sponsors - to build...
