NJ Transit rail riders are facing severe delays and adjustments starting Sunday through November 15 as construction on a new Portal North Bridge over the Hackensack River intensifies. This $2.3 billion project will cause cancellations and schedule changes for nearly every NJ Transit train line, with Morris & Essex, Gladstone Branch, and Montclair-Boonton lines rerouting to Hoboken instead of terminating at New York’s Penn Station. The new fixed bridge is part of the broader $17 billion Gateway Project aimed at modernizing infrastructure but has been politically contentious and behind schedule.

This $2.3 billion project is expected to continue causing issues until Nov. 15, affecting nearly every NJ Transit train line with cancellations and schedule changes. Trains on the Morris & Essex, Gladstone Branch, and Montclair-Boonton lines will no longer terminate in New York’s Penn Station but will instead be rerouted to Hoboken. The transit agency advises commuters who can work from home to do so during this period of "major temporary service disruptions."
