🚆 Taking the train to NYC? NJTransit has suspended train service.

"Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the bridge carried more than 450 daily Amtrak and NJ TRANSIT trains and 200,000 daily passengers over the Hackensack River – a critical link in the congested territory between Newark, New Jersey and Penn Station, New York," NJ Transit said.

However, NJ Transit notes that the bridge, through the years has become a"major bottleneck and source of delays, particularly when the aging bridge malfunctions during opening and closing for maritime traffic."
