Construction has begun on an interim NJ Transit bus terminal near Hoboken Terminal, ushering in the next phase of the Hoboken Connect mixed-use project that will transform the historic waterfront area into a space for customers and the public.
The interim terminal is expected to be completed this summer and will allow for rehabilitating the current bus terminal.
The new bus terminal is one aspect of the public infrastructure improvements the Hoboken Connect project will realize. Other work includes a complete restoration of the second floor of the historic ferry terminal into a premier events space, improvements and flood resiliency work in Warrington Plaza and new streetscapes to improve pedestrian and bicycle access.
The temporary terminal is critical to allow uninterrupted bus service as construction progresses on the permanent bus terminal at Hudson Place. An existing parking lot on NJ TRANSIT property at Hoboken Terminal is being converted to an interim bus operation located west of the River Street and Hudson Place intersection.
Consisting of eight bays serving the 126, 89, 87, 85, 63/64/68 and 22/23 lines, the area will include temporary shelters, pedestrian pathways, lighting and passenger loading, unloading and queuing areas.
