Media mogul Barry Diller’s “Hollywood on the Hudson” revamp of Manhattan’s Pier 55 as a public park and arts venue has gotten a judge’s green light — at least for the summer.

The temporary lifting of an injunction granted to opponents of the 2.7-acre park that Diller, his fashion-designer wife Diane von Furstenberg and Oscar-winning producer Scott Rudin plan to build will allow the $130 million plan to proceed until the next court hearing on Sept. 6.

A group called City Club of New York sued last year saying the ­revitalized pier would wipe out ­local marine life.

“The City Club should take this cue to finally end its absurd crusade against the wishes of the community,” the Hollywood on the Hudson group said in a statement.

Richard Emery, the attorney for the City Club, remained optimistic of winning on appeal.

“Diller does that at his peril, in that [the piles] will have to be removed if we win — and the appellate court ruled that we had shown a likelihood of success on the merits,” Emery said in a statement.
