NJ Transit has broken ground on a temporary bus terminal near Hoboken Terminal, beginning the next phase of its Hoboken Connect mixed-use project, a multi-stage initiative to invest in public infrastructure and open space improvements.
The interim terminal is expected to be completed this summer, and will provide temporary services during wider construction work on the project, including the rehabilitation of the area’s current bus terminal.
NJ TRANSIT President & CEO Kris Kolluri, said:The start of work on this interim bus terminal at Hoboken reflects NJ TRANSIT’s commitment to delivering long-term customer experience improvements while maintaining reliable service during construction.
The interim terminal, along with the permanent bus facility, Hoboken Connect, and the upcoming Long Slip project, will collectively transform Hoboken into a more connected, resilient, and accessible gateway for the region.
In order to facilitate services from the temporary bus terminal, which has been converted from an existing parking area at Hoboken Terminal, NJ transit will implement eight bays to serve the 126, 89, 87, 85, 63/64/68 and 22/23 lines, as well as install temporary shelters, pedestrian pathways, lighting and passenger loading, unloading and queuing areas.
Additional works within the area include a restoration of the second floor of the ferry terminal into an events space, improvements and flood resiliency work in Warrington Plaza and new infrastructure to improve both pedestrian and bicycle access.
