Port Authority is suspending weekday air train services between the airport rail station and the P4 stop between 5 a.m.
and 3 p.m.
while construction work is carried out starting today.
P4, by the way, is the stop serving daily parking.
The Port Authority says courtesy shuttles will run every four to five minutes during times when air train service is disrupted.
Travelers are urged to allow an extra 15 minutes in their plans to account for any problems.
The air train disruptions will pause on weekends.
There'll be no disruptions during the peak travel season between Memorial and Labor Day.
The service disruptions will begin again though in the fall before another break for next winter's holiday season and then still more disruptions in 2027 and 2028.
The air train replacement project will cost the Port Authority $3.5 billion and it's expected to be completely finished by 2030.
