• NJ Transit Riders Brace for 5 Weeks of Portal Bridge Disruptions (nytimes.com) — Secaucus rail riders face five weeks of reduced NJ Transit service between Newark and Secaucus as work continues on replacing the aging Portal Bridge, with many trains rerouted through Hoboken. Weekday Morris & Essex, Gladstone, and Montclair-Boonton line trains will terminate in Hoboken, and Secaucus-area commuters heading to Manhattan will need to rely more on PATH, ferries, or bus transfers until mid-November.
