Massive Delays Anticipated At Lincoln Tunnel Due To Route 495 Viaduct Reconstruction
Massive delays are in the forecast for commuters using the Lincoln Tunnel due to reconstruction of the Route 495 viaduct that will eliminate one lane in each direction. The project is expected to last for the next two years. The exclusive bus lane ("XBL") will still be in operation during the morning rush hour for New York City bus traffic. However, massive delays are still anticipated because there will be one less outbound lane for bus traffic leaving the Port Authority and returning back to New Jersey. Of course, there have been no contingency plans announced for alternate routes, or any cross honoring NJT tickets on NY Waterway Ferries or trains. Besides over crowded NJT trains, and ferries, some alternate bus service is available for Northern NJ bus passengers via the George Washington Bridge Bus Station. More details about the construction are available here.

George Washington Bridge Bus Station Reopens On Tuesday May 16 -- Updated
Good news for riders who use the George Washington Bridge Bus Station. The long delayed renovation project at the Station is almost completed and reopened for bus passengers on Tuesday May 16. The construction lasted two years longer than anticipated due to problems with the contractors and developers. NJ Transit has also announced that cash fares will no longer be accepted for its routes that service the terminal in order to speed boarding and departures. Riders will have to purchase tickets from either the windows, the ticket machines or use the NJT Mobile App. There was plenty of TV coverage today about the re-opening including from WNBC-TV, and NY1. We will have additional reports in the near future.
The new gate assignments for GWBBS routes are:

George Washington Bridge Bus Station Renovation
The Bergen Record is reporting that the long delayed renovation to the GWB Bus Terminal is set to begin and will take about two years to complete. Bus service to the terminal has been decreasing dramatically over the years. It remains to be seen whether the renovations will lead to increased ridership and service.
