The Port Authority bus terminal rebuild
The Port Authority is rebuilding its 75-year-old Midtown bus terminal in an $11 billion project, starting with removal of the ramps that carry buses from the Lincoln Tunnel into the building. The work forces detours onto West 39th Street and rush-hour delays for the foreseeable future, with a temporary terminal targeted for 2030 and the new building for 2035.

Buses will be routed along West 39th Street to a 10th Avenue ramp, car traffic on 39th will be limited to people who live or work there, and the agency warns of weekday rush-hour delays for the foreseeable future.
