PATH Adjusts Harrison Platforms for Construction
PATH Harrison trains temporarily relocated to WTC-bound track due to construction
PATH Shifts Harrison Trains to WTC Track
PATH riders heading to Harrison will board from a different platform due to ongoing construction work, transit officials said. Service to Harrison now operates from the World Trade Center-bound track, while Newark trains continue using their regular platforms. The temporary track configuration affects boarding locations at the station, though officials didn't specify which station or how long the changes will remain in effect.
Construction Prompts Platform Reassignment
The platform changes accommodate construction work that requires Harrison service to operate from the WTC-bound track, according to the transit agency. Newark service continues operating from Platform B, located next to Track 1, and Platform C, next to Track 2. Officials didn't provide details about the nature of the construction work or which station is affected by the track reassignment. Transit agencies typically implement temporary platform changes during infrastructure projects to maintain service while work proceeds.
Platform Configuration Details
The current service pattern assigns Newark trains to two platforms while consolidating Harrison service to a single track. Platform B and Platform C serve Newark-bound and Newark-originating trains, with each platform positioned alongside its respective track. Harrison trains now share the WTC-bound track with other service, though officials haven't said whether this affects train frequencies or wait times. The agency didn't release information about how many daily trains are affected by the platform reassignment.
Timeline Remains Unspecified
Officials didn't announce when the temporary track configuration began or how long it will continue. The agency typically provides advance notice for platform changes, though whether riders received prior notification for this modification wasn't clear from available information. Transit officials said the arrangement will remain in place until construction work is completed, but a specific end date wasn't provided.
Riders Should Verify Platform Assignments
Passengers traveling to Harrison or Newark should check platform signs carefully to ensure they're boarding from the correct location. The temporary track assignments mean some riders may need to use different platforms than usual. Station staff can provide guidance on current platform assignments. Moovit provides real-time PATH updates and platform information to help riders navigate service changes.
