The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) has completed a $47.2 million station house at the Harrison stop on the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) commuter-rail line.

The 3,200-square-foot station house — which opened on Feb. 21 — is the latest step toward a $256 million, multifacility modernization of the regional transit hub, PANYNJ officials said in a news release.

The new Harrison Station building features such amenities as an elevator, a public plaza with seating, 82 bicycle parking spots along a 17,800-square-foot concourse and a dedicated turnstile that accepts TAPP contactless tap-and-go fare payments. 

The PATH station house replacement project was funded in part by a $40.7 million grant from the Federal Transit Administration. The station house was designed with a focus on resiliency and sustainability.

Built in 1936, the original station house was razed to make way for a modern and accessible replacement, PANYNJ officials said.

"Our $256 million investment in the PATH Harrison Station complex has turned an outmoded nearly-century old facility into an ultra-modern 21st century transit hub accessible to everyone," said PANYNJ Executive Director Rick Cotton.
