Is EWR only getting a new Terminal A and keep the other terminals as is?
From EWR Wikipedia page:
Terminal A was completed in 1973 and has four levels.
Terminal B was completed in 1973 and has four levels. In 2008, Terminal B was renovated
In January 2012,
$350 million would be spent on Terminal B,
Terminal C was completed in 1988. From 1998 to 2003, Terminal C was rebuilt and expanded
In November 2014
announced a new
$120 million renovation plan for terminal C and the whole project completed in 2016.
In 2016, the Port Authority approved and announced a redevelopment plan to build a new Terminal A to replace the existing (Terminal A), which opened in 1973. Built on a site once occupied by United Parcel Service and the United States Postal Service,[34] the new terminal, is expected to cost around $2.7 billion, and will include a new six-level, 3,000-car parking garage and rental center,[34] 33 gates, and a walkway to connect the AirTrain station, parking garage, and terminal building.[48][49][50][34] The project is expected to open in two phases, with the first in spring-2022 and the second in late-2022.[51]

So why even have a presence at EWR?
Maybe the same reason United chose to return to JFK after withdrawing all operations for a few years. Its probably unwise for a large US carrier to not have ANY service at a major US metropolitan airport.
