Upcoming NJ TRANSIT & Jitney Changes Due to Construction
Good afternoon, Maplewood. Beginning this Sunday, October 11, 2026, NJ TRANSIT riders will be impacted by Amtrak and NJ TRANSIT’s construction work to transfer the final track from the 116-old Portal Bridge to the new Portal North Bridge over the Hackensack River. This is the final phase of the cutover work that began earlier this year. Read the full NJ TRANSIT press release.
