Weekend PATH Station Closure Update For WTC, Hoboken, Jersey City

HOBOKEN, NJ — After PATH stations in Hoboken and Jersey City were closed over two weekends in January, commuters have wondered each weekend whether the stations will be open. However, most weekends, it's only the World Trade Center PATH that is supposed to be closed for Superstorm Sandy repairs. Updates on weekend closures can be found here, and current alerts can be found here.

Thursday morning, some Hoboken and Jersey City PATH trains were delayed due to a switch failure between Hoboken and Newport Station in Jersey City. The problem was resolved around 7:45 a.m., according to an alert.

As for the coming weekend, according to the PATH weekend closure website, the World Trade Center PATH station will be closed again. There were no mentions of the other stations as of Thursday.

The site said, "Beginning January 4, 2020 through December 20, 2020, PATH's World Trade Center Station will close every weekend, excluding major holidays, in order to replace equipment damaged during Superstorm Sandy. The station will close at 12:01 a.m. on Saturdays, reopening at 5 a.m. on Mondays.

"During this time, PATH service to World Trade Center will terminate at Exchange Place Station. Each Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., transfer will be available for NY Waterway ferry service between Harborside Ferry Landing in Jersey City and Brookfield Place Terminal in New York City. Service on the JSQ-33 via HOB line will follow a regular weekend schedule."
