The MTA has a green light to link transit-starved sections of the Bronx to Penn Station with four new Metro-North stops.

As part of the MTA’s Penn Station access project, the MTA, Empire State Development, and Amtrak struck a deal to build the new stations along an underutilized rail line in Hunts Point, Parkchester/Van Nest, Morris Park, and Co-op City. Transit officials approved a $35 million contract with HNTB New York Engineering and Architecture for the project’s design and development Tuesday morning at the MTA Board’s Metro-North Committee meeting, according to the governor’s office.
