MTA and Amtrak Delays Push Back Penn Station Expansion to 2030
TL;DR Summary
The Penn Access project to extend Metro-North trains to Penn Station and add four Bronx stations is delayed by at least three years due to conflicts with Amtrak, which controls the tracks needed for the project. The MTA proposes a partial opening with three stations and reduced service by 2027, with full completion now expected around 2030, amid concerns over increased costs and cooperation issues with Amtrak.
