JFK Construction: What Travelers Need to Know—and How Hoyt Livery Helps You Stay Ahead

John F. Kennedy International Airport is currently undergoing a massive $19 billion redevelopment project that promises to transform the travel experience in the long term. But for travelers in 2025, the ongoing construction means significant delays, traffic congestion, changing drop-off procedures, and reduced parking availability—especially at terminals 1, 4, 5, and 7.

At Hoyt Livery, we understand how important it is for our clients to get to and from their flights smoothly and stress-free. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to stay on top of these disruptions, offering professional, door-to-door service and utilizing the latest traffic-monitoring technology to help you avoid the worst of the congestion and confusion.

A Challenging Travel Environment at JFK

Construction at JFK has caused major changes to terminal access roads, including lane closures, detours, and altered traffic patterns. This has led to frequent bottlenecks and delays for those driving themselves or relying on taxis or ride-share services. In fact, ride-share pickups for terminals 4, 5, and 7 are no longer available curbside—passengers must now take shuttle buses or the AirTrain to remote pickup lots, adding time, inconvenience, and confusion to their trip.

Additionally, parking is more limited than ever. With thousands of spaces temporarily removed or reallocated, even travelers who plan ahead can find themselves circling for a spot or relying on offsite parking options that require additional transfers. The Port Authority has recommended allowing 60 to 90 minutes of extra travel time to account for traffic and logistical delays.

The Hoyt Livery Advantage

At Hoyt Livery, we offer a better solution. Our professional chauffeurs provide private, door-to-door service that eliminates the need to navigate public transit or shuttle systems. You’ll be dropped off and picked up right where you need to be, with no added transfers or stress.

We use real-time traffic tracking and advanced routing tools to monitor road conditions, construction impacts, and terminal access restrictions—adjusting your travel route accordingly. This ensures that you arrive on time and without the hassle of figuring out alternate routes or pickup zones yourself.

Plan Ahead, Travel Smart

The JFK transformation project is expected to continue through 2026 and beyond, with major milestones such as the opening of the new Terminal 1 and Terminal 6 still on the horizon. While these improvements will eventually make JFK a world-class hub, the short-term reality is that traffic delays, access limitations, and public transit complications are here to stay.

When you book with Hoyt Livery, you’re not just booking a ride—you’re securing peace of mind. We help you plan ahead, arrive early, and travel comfortably so you never have to worry about missing a flight or waiting in line for a shuttle.
