May 20 (Reuters) – The U.S. Transportation Department said on Wednesday it will provide another $200 million to begin construction next year on an $8 billion plan to rebuild New York Penn Station, a key transit artery.
U.S. passenger railroad Amtrak and the Trump administration said the plan includes expanding track capacity, building a grand entrance on Eighth Avenue to a new train hall and replacing aging walkways with open modern concourses. It is not clear how much of the total cost will be provided by the federal government.
