Newark Light Rail Broad Street Extension

NJ TRANSIT’s Newark Light Rail Broad Street Extension is a 1-mile link connecting Broad Street Station and Pennsylvania Station in Newark. The service provides a more environmentally friendly alternative that also enhances connectivity and mobility while supporting economic development in New Jersey’s largest city.

STV, in joint venture, provided program and construction management services for the Broad Street Extension. This program included five new stations that serve the downtown business district, as well as major cultural and recreational destinations, including the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium and The Newark Museum. The project also consisted of a new 800-foot double-track tunnel that connected to an existing tunnel. 

Improving the quality of life and spurring economic development with light rail.
