Saturday, August 24, 2024 The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey advises travelers to plan ahead and allocate extra travel time due to lane closures and service changes at its facilities for the week of August 23 to 28. An additional advisory will be issued next week to cover the remaining week and the upcoming Labor Day travel period. Air travelers should be aware that ongoing construction at John F.
Kennedy International Airport (JFK) may cause delays and require detours. The $19 billion redevelopment project aims to transform JFK into a world-class global gateway with enhanced terminals, local concessions, family-friendly amenities, and top-tier travel experiences. In light of this, the single ride fare for AirTrain JFK has been halved to $4.
25 through Labor Day, encouraging passengers to use mass transit for travel to and from the airport. Additionally, a free drop-off, pickup, and waiting area is available at the Lefferts Boulevard AirTrain JFK station, where travelers can connect to the free on-airport AirTrain for an eight-minute ride to terminals. George Washington Bridge: Holland Tunnel: Lincoln Tunnel: Bayonne Bridge: PATH train services between Newark-Penn Station and Journal Square will operate at reduced frequency on August 24-25 due to track maintenance.
Travelers using the PATH World Trade Center station during overnight hours should access the station via specific street-level entrances, as Oculus access will be limited. Travelers are encouraged to stay updated on these changes by visiting the Port Authority’s official website or using the PATH mobile app, RidePath. By planning ahead and considering alternative routes and transit options, travelers can ensure a smoother and more efficient journey through the Port Authority’s facilities.
