Port Authority announces travel advisory including lane closures and service suspensions August 2 - August 8

Lane closures planned this week at the George Washington Bridge, Holland Tunnel, Lincoln Tunnel, and Bayonne Bridge

PATH trains suspended between Harrison and Journal Square Sunday to accommodate Amtrak work; free shuttle buses replace trains

AirTrain Newark suspended for routine maintenance Saturday night to Sunday morning; free shuttle buses provide alternate service

Reminder: AirTrain JFK single ride fare reduced to $4.25 through Labor Day to encourage airport access via subway or LIRR from New York City, Hudson Valley, or Long Island

Travelers urged to use mass transit as major construction is currently underway at John F. Kennedy International Airport; for-hire vehicle pickups at JFK’s Terminal 4 relocated to remote Ride App & Car Services Lot, free shuttle buses provide service from Terminal 4 to remote lot for ride pickups

For the week of Aug. 2 to 8, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey encourages all travelers who use the agency’s facilities to plan ahead and consider additional travel time due to the lane closures or service changes detailed below.

Air travelers should also note that due to construction underway for the $19 billion redevelopment of John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), motorists and anyone using for-hire vehicle services should expect delays or reroutes due to detours or closures of parts of the airport roadway network. Through Labor Day, AirTrain JFK single ride fare has been reduced by 50 percent to $4.25 to encourage the use of mass transit for access to or from JFK — with 20-minute trains to the Jamaica AirTrain JFK station from Grand Central Terminal or Penn Station. For motorists, the Port Authority encourages the use of its free drop-off, pickup and waiting lot at the Lefferts Boulevard AirTrain JFK station, where passengers can easily connect to the free on-airport AirTrain for an eight-minute ride to airport terminals. These roadway changes are required to accommodate the work underway to transform JFK into a world-class global gateway with new terminals, local concessions, family-friendly amenities, and a best-in-class air travel experience.
