Hoboken PATH Station Closure: What Commuters Need to Know

Hoboken PATH Station Closure Details

• ⚠️ The Hoboken PATH station is closing for 5 days, starting tonight through September 2nd, for urgent track repairs.

Reasons for the Shutdown

Commuter Impact and Alternatives

• 🚢 Discounted ferry tickets are also available as an alternative transportation option.
• 🚉 PATH trains are scheduled to resume normal service at 5:00 a.m. on September 2nd at the Hoboken station.
