Hoboken PATH Station Closes Five Days for Urgent Track Repairs

The Hoboken PATH Terminal will be closed from late Thursday night, August 28, until early Tuesday morning, September 2, for urgent track and interlocking system repairs related to a rehabilitation project. This closure follows a July derailment caused by problems with the track interlocking, which had previously undergone a $31 million upgrade earlier in the year. To accommodate commuters during the five-day shutdown, various alternative transportation options are available, including free shuttle buses to the Newport and Exchange Place PATH stations, free cross-honoring on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail and certain NJ Transit trains, and reduced-fare $3 NY Waterway ferries connecting Hoboken to Manhattan. Additional ferry services will operate every 15 minutes during peak hours, and NJ Transit buses will provide transfers to the Midtown Bus Terminal. These coordinated efforts by the Port Authority, NJ Transit, NY Waterway, and other partners aim to minimize disruption over the Labor Day holiday weekend. Riders are encouraged to utilize these alternatives as the PATH station undergoes critical repairs to restore full service and reliability.
