NJ TRANSIT ADVISES CUSTOMERS OF UPCOMING CONSTRUCTION NEAR THE LINCOLN TUNNEL

Route 495 Eastbound to Close in Weehawken for Overnight Construction Starting August 6

NJT-12-063
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


NEWARK, NJ — Beginning on or about Monday night, August 6 and continuing through late-Fall of 2013, Route 495 eastbound will be closed at Pleasant Avenue in Weehawken for overnight repairs.  Additionally, one lane on Route 495 westbound along the helix will close to support the eastbound construction. 

 

This project will impact NJ TRANSIT bus customers who travel towards the New York City-bound Lincoln tunnel between 10:30 p.m. and 5 a.m. on weekday nights and 11 p.m. and 8 a.m. on weekend nights.  Bus customers traveling during this time will experience significant delays due to a reduction in vehicular traffic capacity as buses must exit Route 495 eastbound at Pleasant Avenue and travel along local streets in Weehawken to access the inbound Lincoln Tunnel.

 

Many of NJ TRANSIT’s local bus routes traveling toward points in and around Weehawken and Union City during the construction will operate with significant delays as buses will experience increased traffic congestion, especially near the immediate construction zone.    

 

Additionally, some bus routes traveling from New York City to New Jersey during overnight hours may operate with delays due to buses arriving late to the Port Authority Bus Terminal. 

 

The affected bus routes include: 

A number of local NJ TRANSIT bus routes will also be impacted by traffic congestion in the area of the construction project:

All customers on these affected bus routes are advised to allow for extra travel time getting to and from their destination.  Alternate travel options include NJ TRANSIT rail service during operation hours and PATH service.  Customers can visit www.njtransit.com or www.panynj.gov for NJ TRANSIT rail and PATH schedule information. 

 

Customers should also visit njtransit.com for additional information and sign up for My Transit alerts.  Additionally, customers can review informational web sites with delay times before travel:
