Federal officials announced a timeline Wednesday for the long-awaited renovation of Penn Station, saying proposals for the project will be accepted starting in October.

A developer is expected to be selected by May, with construction targeted to begin by the end of 2027, according to officials.

Former MTA chief Andy Byford has been tapped by Amtrak, which owns the station, to lead the project.

"Now two years, end of 2027, that might seem like a long way away. But trust me, I've done this in a few locations around the world. For a project of this complexity and magnitude, it's just around the corner,” Byford said. “We can't wait any longer to transform this station for the better because that's what New York deserves and that's what this great country deserves.”
