What is Happening?

Starting January 5, 2019, for 45 weekends in 2019 and 45 weekends in 2020, PATH will be closing Tunnels E and F, which run from Exchange Place to World Trade Center, in order to repair latent damage caused by Superstorm Sandy. During these weekend closures, the World Trade Center station will be closed to trains & passengers. Exchange Place will remain open for passengers to access rail service to Hoboken and 33rd St, as well as west towards

• Newark. 33rd St. and all other NY stations will remain open.

Why is this Work Happening?

• During Superstorm Sandy in 2012, Tunnels

E&F were flooded with thousands of gallons of water.

• PATH temporarily repaired much of the

damage in the weeks following the storm, but the salt has continued to corrode the steel and infrastructure of the tunnels.

• This work will completely replace the

damaged infrastructure, leading to fewer failures, fewer delays and creating a safer, faster ride for our passengers.

What is PATH’s Mitigation Plan?

PATH is aware that these closures will greatly inconvenience a substantial portion of its riders. In order to mitigate this inconvenience, the Port Authority reached an agreement with New York Waterways to provide ferry service between Jersey City and the World Financial Center over the course of the outages.

Harborside World Financial Center

• The service frequency will

approximate PATH’s daytime service frequency.

• Ferry service will run during all

weekend closures.

• PATH cross-honoring operations

will be concentrated at Harborside and World Financial Center.
