Hoboken PATH Train Station To Close For Repairs On Upcoming Weekend

HOBOKEN, NJ — Hoboken's PATH train station will close for repairs later this month after experiencing recent equipment problems and a derailment, the city announced Friday.

Back in January, the station closed for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to make upgrades, but the system recently suffered a series of setbacks, prompting officials to say that the line would run more slowly through Labor Day so fixes could be made.

Now, the station will close for Labor Day weekend, the agency said.

The city of Hoboken said that from Aug. 28, just before midnight, to 5 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 2, the Hoboken PATH station will be closed for "urgent repairs to the track and interlocking system that enables PATH trains to switch tracks and access different platforms at the station."

The 11:40 p.m. 33rd Street-bound PATH train will arrive at Hoboken at 11:56 p.m. Aug. 28, before the station closes for the interlocking repairs, the city said.

The 11:38 p.m. Journal Square-bound train will arrive at Hoboken at 11:57 p.m. on Aug. 28, before the station closes, the city said.
