约翰·肯尼迪国际机场（John F. Kennedy International Airport）将加入其他两个主要的纽约地区地区机场，进行重大升级。州长安德鲁·库莫（Andrew Cuomo）（D）于1月4日提议为肯尼迪国际机场和附近的基础设施进行100亿美元的改造，这是他去年宣布的一项1000亿美元的州基础设施计划的一部分。升级公告是在拉瓜迪亚机场进行了80亿美元的翻新后，在新泽西州纽瓦克市的纽瓦克自由国际机场（Newark Liberty International Airport）进行了23亿美元的面貌，其目前的形式将在2020年代中期达到容量。

The proposed JFK work would include interconnecting terminals, which currently are separated; redesigning on-airport roadways, for easier access to terminals; and expanding the airport’s parking lot and taxiways, among other upgrades. Amenities such as fine dining and duty-free shopping also are included in the plans. Further, lane additions are proposed for the Van Wyck Expressway, a major roadway leading to the airport, to lessen traffic.

The construction set for JFK is expected to cost about $8 billion, while the work to the expressway is estimated at $1.5 billion to $2 billion. The project will be financed using a public-private partnership, similar to the approach being used for the LaGuardia Airport project, for which over two-thirds of funding is coming from private-sector investors and participants. The JFK proposal outlined an intent to raise up to $7 billion in private capital.

纽约和新泽西港务局的法则ased a $32 billion, 10-year capital-plan draft on Jan. 5, following Cuomo’s announcement. The plan drew criticism from New Jersey lawmakers who say infrastructure projects such as the JFK and LaGuardia renovations are being prioritized over necessary renovations to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, in Manhattan. While the bus-terminal project has been allotted $3.5 billion, the port authority estimates the cost at roughly $10 billion. The authority’s board of commissioners will vote on the final draft of the plan in February, following two public outreach meetings.
