Abstract
The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey is building an elevated light rail system at John F. Kennedy Airport that is supported by 13.5 kilometers (8.7 miles) of precast segmental superstructure. This is the first application of precast segmental construction for a project in the New York City area. The light rail system loops around the terminals in the Central Terminal Area (CTA) of JFK Airport and connects with spurs to Howard Beach and the NYC Subway and along the median of the Van-Wyck Expressway to Jamaica Station where it meets the Long Island Railroad. Eventually, it will connect with the LaGuardia Airport and ultimately with Manhattan. The current project for elevated structures, stations, trackwork and trains is worth about $1 billion of which approximately $100 million is for the precast elevated structure.
