TL;DR

Amtrak will transfer rail operations from the aging Portal Bridge to the new Portal North Bridge, temporarily using a single track between Newark and Secaucus and causing service disruptions across several NJ TRANSIT lines. A new schedule starts Feb. 15, with the cutover completed around Mar. 14–15 and regular service resuming after safety testing. NJ TRANSIT will cross-honor with PATH and NY Waterway, offer expanded Midtown Direct support to Hoboken, and emphasize capacity, continuity, and safety to deliver long-term reliability.
