Skanska, a global construction and development firm, and joint venture partner, Halmar International LLC, announced it has been awarded a contract by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to carry out the $1.24 billion design and reconstruction of John F.

We are proud to build on our decades of experience in New York State, partnering with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to continue to move the industry forward and provide exceptional service to the region for decades to come."
