AirTrain Newark suspended for routine maintenance Saturday night to Sunday morning; free shuttle buses provide alternate service
Security screening delays expected at Newark Liberty Terminal B due to airside rehabilitation work; passengers should allow additional travel time
Travelers urged to use mass transit as major construction currently underway at John F. Kennedy International Airport; beginning Sept. 12, motorists should allow additional travel time for detour from Van Wyck Expressway to Terminals 7 and 8; for-hire vehicle pickups at Terminal 4 relocated to remote ride app & car services lot, free shuttle buses provide service from Terminal 4 to lot for pickups
For the week of Sept. 6 to 12, 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. Customers are strongly advised to use mass transit to and from the airport, such as MTA New York City Transit subway or buses, or MTA Long Island Rail Road — with 20-minute trains from Grand Central Terminal or Penn Station to the AirTrain JFK station at Jamaica. 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.
