Airport is a major international gateway
to the United States that handles 58.9
million passengers with over 400,000
aircraft operations annually. The Van
Wyck Expressway also serves as the
major route for commercial truck traffic
to get to and from the airport. The

capacity on the Van Wyck Expressway
to and from JFK Airport; improve
operations and geometry of ramps
within the identified project limits; and
address structural deficiencies on the
bridges within the project limits.
The purpose of the project is to
provide increased capacity on the Van

Gardens Interchange and JFK Airport to
improve vehicular access to and from
the airport. In addition, the project will
address the operational, geometric, and
structural deficiencies on the Van Wyck
Expressway between the Kew Gardens

A reasonable range of alternatives is
currently being developed and will be
refined during the NEPA scoping
process in consideration of agency and
public comments received.
Letters describing the proposed action
and soliciting comments will be sent to
Cooperating and Participating Agencies.
Public and agency outreach will include
a formal public scoping meeting, a
public hearing, and meetings with
Cooperating and Participating Agencies.
