Tutor Perini has won a $1.87 billion guaranteed maximum price contract to construct the staging and storage facility and ramp structure components of the Midtown Bus Terminal Redevelopment in New York City, according to a June 30 news release from the Los Angeles-based company.
The project is designed to replace the existing 75-year-old, functionally obsolete facility and to improve the commuter experience at the world’s busiest bus terminal, per the release. When complete, the new station will include a new main terminal, a separate storage and staging building and new ramps leading into and out of the Lincoln Tunnel. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is funding the bulk of the construction costs.
Tutor Perini’s scope of work includes building a seven-floor steel-clad storage and staging facility, which will accommodate indoor storage for up to 350 buses and will serve as a temporary bus terminal during future construction of a new main bus terminal, per the release.
The job entails the construction of the core and shell of the staging and storage facility, and Tutor Perini will procure the remainder of the components through a series of competitive bid processes closer to the time needed in order to reduce cost risk and ensure price certainty, per a Port Authority news release.
The project scope also includes the construction of a ramp encompassing the block that will allow buses to move into and out of the above-grade bus levels of the replacement facility to and from the Lincoln Tunnel, according to the release.
Overall, the project is expected to create approximately 6,000 union construction jobs, according to the project website. The Dyer Avenue deck-overs portion broke ground at the end of May.
In August 2022, the Port Authority tapped Chicago-based A. Epstein & Sons International and London-headquartered Foster+Partners to design and engineer the new facility. AECOM Tishman is serving as construction manager for the Dyer Avenue deck-overs project, the New York City-based firm announced in January 2025.
Tutor Perini expects to begin work in the fall, with completion of the currently scheduled and funded work anticipated in the fall of 2028. The overall project is expected to wrap in 2032.
