Newark Liberty International Airport Station: Station Improvements – Saturday, January 10 & Sunday, January 11, 2026

Beginning Saturday evening, January 10 at 9:30 PM, and continuing until Sunday, January 11 at 10:00 AM, Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) Station will be closed to support work on major station projects including construction of a new station entrance and work related to the replacement of the current AirTrain system.

During this time, no trains (NJ TRANSIT or Amtrak) will stop at EWR Station. The Port Authority will coordinate a bus shuttle from Newark Penn Station to EWR for customers. 

Customers should be aware of the following changes due to work taking place during this time:

 

  • If traveling from New York, Secaucus or Newark Penn Station, customers will exit trains (or not board trains) at Newark Penn Station, instead proceeding to buses available in front of Newark Penn Station that will take them to EWR terminals.
  • If traveling toward Newark Airport from outlying stations (Trenton/Bay Head/Long Branch through Elizabeth), customers will remain on the train until Newark Penn Station, where they will detrain and proceed to buses available in the front of Newark Penn Station that will take them to EWR terminals.
  • Customers who normally board trains at EWR Station will instead take buses to Newark Penn Station and board trains there to complete their trip.

 

Please follow the directions of uniformed staff (NJ TRANSIT and Port Authority) when boarding trains and buses at EWR and Newark Penn stations.
