Penn Station Rebuild Now Projected to Commence in 2027
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy and Special Advisor to the Amtrak Board Andy Byford announced that the New York Penn Station “Transformation” Project will begin construction by the end of 2027. To jumpstart the schedule, the Department of Transportation will provide Amtrak with nearly $43 million in federal grant funding.
Byford is beginning the process of soliciting a master developer. The formal process will launch by the end of October, and a selection is scheduled to be made by the end of May 2026.
“Crumbling infrastructure, bleak and dirty architecture, unnavigable hallways and no inviting spaces for families with kids – the current state of Penn Station is unacceptable,” said Duffy. “Under President Trump’s direction, we will transform Penn Station into a world-class transit hub that is beautiful, safe and clean. The aggressive schedule we’ve outlined will ensure we are back on track to deliver a gleaming monument worthy of New York City.”
