Port Authority awards 2 contracts for Newark Airport AirTrain upgrades
NEWARK, N.J. -- Newark Liberty International Airport's monorail system is getting an upgrade.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced they've awarded two contracts for a new AirTrain.
It will cost nearly $1 billion to replace the 27-year-old monorail system.
The electric-powered, cable-drawn system is expected to be more reliable than other conventional powered trains.
It's set to open in 2029.
