Newark Airport Terminal B Overhaul Approved: Key Dates and Traveler Travel Alerts
By Alexander Ross
Engineers have structured the project into sequential phases to keep international flights operating without widespread cancellations. Work is being coordinated around overnight hours and mid-day lulls, but gate closures and temporary screening walls will be a constant reality.
| Phase | Target Dates | Operational Impacts |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1: CBP & Arrivals | Mid-2026, Late 2026 | Immigration floor reconfigured; selective passport lane closures; baggage carousel maintenance. |
| Phase 2: TSA Consolidation | Late 2026, Early 2027 | Mezzanine screening walls shifted; temporary lanes set up; TSA wait times variable at Concourse B2/B3. |
| Phase 3: Concourse Interiors | Early 2027, Mid-2027 | Rolling 1-to-2 gate shutdowns per concourse; retail concessions replaced with expanded seating. |
