Midtown is getting a revamp!
First, Penn station had a make-over and rebranded as the SLEEK and sophisticated Moynihan Train Hall, making commuters for the LIRR not the worst part of their day.
Governor Hochul has announced plans to elevate a pedestrian pathway that will connect Penn Station and Moynihan Train Hall to Chelsea's High Line and the Javits Center. This means, heading over to these far west locations will be much more pleasant and even relieve some foot traffic currently seen on 8th, 9th, and 10th Avenue.
The project will be created from two bridges connecting the 10th Avenue end of the High Line. The $50 million project will be called The High Line Moynihan Connector and is due to be completed by Spring 2023.
“Despite the challenges and difficulties presented by COVID-19, New York continues to get things done- building boldly and ambitiously to leave a lasting legacy for future New Yorkers” ”

“The High Line’s connection to Moynihan Train Hall and other nearby attractions complements our investments in Midtown West, encourages better pedestrian access, and provides New Yorkers with a truly one-of-a-kind experience. New York State remains steadfast in its commitment to building functional infrastructure that improves quality of life, promotes economic growth and helps secure a greener Empire State.””
