The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey approved Thursday a new terminal for Newark Liberty International Airport, naming a contractor for the design and construction of the facility.
The new one-million-square-foot (92,900 square meter) Terminal One will have 33 gates and will be used for domestic flights. The plans also call for a new roadway network and parking for 3,000 cars.
The $1.41 billion contract was awarded to Tutor Perini/Parsons, a joint venture managed by Tutor Perini, a construction firm founded in 1894.
Construction is slated to begin in April 2018. The terminal will be partially open to passengers in 2021 and fully operational by 2022.
