Construction at JFK Airport
JFK Airport is undergoing a $19 billion construction project to build two new international terminals, along with a new road network and transportation center.
CBS New York spoke with industry experts who said while there is never a good time for construction and road closures, the peak summer travel season might be the worst. The airport already expects to see 1 million more passengers this summer than last.
To help ease congestion and encourage people to use mass transit, AirTrain fares will be cut in half from Monday, July 1 through Labor Day on Sept. 2. Single rides at both the Jamaica and Howard Beach stations will cost just $4.25.
