Lehigh Club of NJ: Technical Tour of Newark AirTrain Replacement Program: Lehigh

About the Event

Join the Lehigh community for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the Newark AirTrain Replacement Program, one of the region’s largest transportation infrastructure projects currently under construction.

With an overall program value of approximately $2 billion, the project is replacing the existing 30-year-old AirTrain system at Newark Liberty International Airport with a modern, automated people mover designed to improve reliability, passenger capacity, accessibility, and the overall passenger experience.

During the tour, attendees will have the opportunity to:

See an active, large-scale transportation infrastructure project up close.
Learn about design-build project delivery and the complexities of delivering a major project within a busy international airport.
Observe ongoing construction, including foundation work and the early stages of structural and civil construction.
Gain insight into how major transportation projects are planned, designed, and delivered.

This unique experience offers a firsthand look at the engineering, construction, and project management behind a transformative infrastructure project in the region.

Additional details regarding the meeting location, parking, required PPE, and attendance limits will be provided to registered attendees.
