LANDSIDE IMPROVEMENTS

The redevelopment plan for this vital gateway to the New Jersey/New York metropolitan region included a comprehensive roadway redesign that will connect the New Terminal A to the bustling network of highways that surround the airport. The New Terminal A features direct access to the airport’s two other terminals; Terminal B and C.

The new roadway network has elevated and ground-level terminal approaches. Related amenities include ample queueing space for taxis and buses, and enhanced ground transportation areas and services. Together, these features will sharply reduce congestion on roads throughout the airport, improving on-time performance and reducing stress for every airport user. A completely designed roadway network and eight new bridges and site work serve the New Terminal A.

AIRSIDE IMPROVEMENTS

After travelers check in and clear the unified security screening area, they are able to view an enhanced airfield arrangement that supports regional and long-haul aircraft. The aeronautical design incorporates multiple taxi lanes that enable more efficient aircraft movement to and from the gates, reducing delays. 140 acres of airside improvements were part of the New Terminal A Redevelopment Program.
