Skanska wins New York station contract

Skanska has been awarded an US$ 148 million contract to expand New York's Penn Station. This will expand the length and width of the existing West End Concourse, which currently serves as a secondary access point to train platforms for ... Amtrak commuters. Skanska will also build two new entrances to the station from Eighth Avenue to the West End Concourse. Penn Station currently serves around 300,000 passengers a day.

Good, it's OK to make the current Penn Station a little better, anything to help congestion in the existing Penn Station is welcomed.
