Newark Airport Announces 8-Gate Addition for Terminal B with 2027 Target
Q1: When will construction on the eight new Terminal B gates actually begin?
A1: According to Port Authority project timelines, construction is slated to begin as early as 2027, with phased openings planned to minimize daily disruption for airlines and travelers.
