This terminal’s opening has been delayed too many times. Not 100% surprised given this project’s been shaky from the beginning.
ETA for opening is now in January but nobody is sure what the date will be.

i suspect they may have rethought the idea of opening a brand new terminal a couple of weeks before christmas.
it doesnt seem smart to try something new this time of year.

They’re finally once again attempting to advance the airtrain replacement.
Set to open in January (hopefully)

A user experience event is going on at EWR on the 6th and will allow people to be “test passengers” to enable the airport operators to see if the airport terminal is actually efficient or whatnot. I might try and participate and give my critique of the airport terminal if I have time.
New update:
Couldn’t go to the event because I ‘conveniently’ got sick today but I was able to source an opening date (hopefully for real this time since it’s the 5th time it’s been delayed). Thursday, January 12th, next week is the new opening date. I’ll be flying out in May so on that date I will write a detailed review of the terminal and share my thoughts.
EWR opened today on 1/12
It’s open and full of activity.

There was a security breach and a power outage the day the terminal opened as well.
Here’s some new info on EWR.

I’m flying out of the new Terminal A (and plan to document the experience) in May so let’s hope after 5 months things stay smooth.
Some more recent stuff since the forum has a “consecutive posting” cap of 3 posts (way too low).

The PA really need to get on with fixing the unreliable AirTrain which its replacement seems to keep being delayed into oblivion.

The EWR rail station should be connected to the neighbourhood nearby as part of this expansion.
Finally, news on the AirTrain.

Found another reference to a possible design for the new Terminal B in a powerpoint for the “EWR Vision plan”. There’s a really nice airside connection shown between Terminals A and B. I wish I could find a higher-resolution image but what you see is what’s currently available.
As of April 20, the EWR Terminal A’s final gates appear to be wrapping up in construction as well which is appropriate given the gates are expected to open by summer. On the EarthCam, an American Airbus A320 type aircraft was spotted at the northernmost gate which indicates to me that the apron is ready for aircraft.

One of the EWR Terminal A lounges opened.
EWR Terminal A’s remaining gates are to open hopefully by September.

By late July-early August, the preferred development options for the EWR Vision Plan are to be revealed.

Additional gates opened at EWR in late July. Delta will be moving in and leaving Terminal B when the final gates open in the immediate future.
EWR’s Terminal A is now fully operational as of August 23rd.
