WTC PATH Station is Ahead of Schedule

NEW YORK CITY-The interim PATH station that took commuters into the World Trade Center site before being destroyed in the terror attacks, is a month ahead of schedule and should be up and running for commuter travel in a month.

NEW YORK CITY-Test runs are now going on for the temporary World Trade Center PATH station, which should be open for business next month–a full month ahead of schedule. An official announcement of the actual opening date is expected within a few weeks.

“It’s the first step back for Downtown,” said Louis J. Menno, program director of the PATH Downtown Restoration for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, during BOMA/NY’s Codes and Regulations/Government Affairs 2003 Conference and Trade Show held yesterday at the Marriott Marquis.

At an estimated cost of $544 million, the project involved removing and replacing all of the destroyed infrastructure including cables, tracks and duct banks. The Exchange Place station, which is the connection point for taking New Jersey commuters to the World Trade Center area, was reopened at the end of June. A permanent WTC PATH station is expected to open sometime in 2006.
