纽约州州长安德鲁·库莫(Andrew Cuomo)今日宣布,宾夕法尼亚车站中的莫伊尼汉快线站厅项目已经动工建设。
项目位于现有的詹姆斯·A·法利大厦(即现时宾夕法尼亚车站入口对面),新的25.5万平方尺的车站大厅将会用于服务美国国铁和长岛铁路的旅客,另有70万平方尺将用于发展商业、零售和餐饮。
“数十年来,我们承诺纽约的乘客会拥有世界一流的火车站,今天,我们正履行这个承诺,将梦想变为现实”,州长库莫表示,“我们正将法利邮政局大厦转变为一个最先进的中转枢纽,以此让旅客们更快捷、舒适地抵达目的地。我们将以此为契机,提供更优质的乘车体验,充满活力的零售和商业机遇,以及,令人叹为观止的建筑设计,将宾州车站带入21世纪”。
由 SOM 设计,这个更新项目将围绕一个坐落在经典美院派建筑(由 Mckim, Mead and White 设计)中央一个高达92英尺的天窗展开。火车站内设有9个站台共17条轨道。新公布的效果图展示了站内地面上下层的交通方式以及从街上望向新建筑的景观。
旧址的拆除和筹备工作从去年九月开始,价值16亿美元(约107亿人民币)的新项目将会快马加鞭全面展开,预计在2020年完成建设。

First Renderings Revealed of Revamped Plan for New York's Penn Station
Penn Station is finally getting its much-needed makeover. The transportation hub, the busiest train station in the country, has been the target of much ire and disdain ever since its Beaux-Arts predecessor, designed by McKim, Mead & White, was demolished in 1963, forcing the station to retreat into the dark, cramped passageways below Madison Square Garden.
