Get ready for (more) PATH service disruptions in 2024. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has announced its plans to restore the Grove PATH station. However, in order to complete the work PATH trains will bypass the Grove Street station in one direction (or the other) for half of the year starting on Saturday, January 6, 2024.
For the first half of the project, Journal Square- and Newark-Penn Station-bound trains will bypass Grove St. For the second half of the project, World Trade Center-bound and Hoboken/33 St.-bound trains will bypass Grove St. These bypasses will occur weekends only from 6am Saturdays until 11:59 pm on Sundays.
Grove Street weekend construction Phase 1 (January through March)
Journal Square-bound and Newark Penn Station-bound trains will bypass Grove St.
- For service to Journal Square, Harrison or Newark stations from Grove: Customers can take a World Trade Center-bound train to Exchange Pl. and transfer to a Newark-Penn Station-bound train. Alternatively, customers can take a Hoboken/33 St.-bound train to Newport and transfer to a Journal Square-bound train.
- For service to Grove St. from Exchange Pl. or World Trade Center: Customers can take a Newark-Penn Station-bound train to Journal Square, then transfer to a World Trade Center-bound or Hoboken/33 St.-bound train to ride back to Grove St
- For service to Grove St. from Newport, Hoboken, any NYC stations: Customers can take a Journal Square-bound train to Journal Square, then transfer to a World Trade Center-bound or Hoboken/33 St.-bound train to ride back to Grove St.
Grove Street weekend construction Phase 2 (April through June)

- For World Trade Center-bound or Hoboken/33 St.-bound service from Grove: Customers can take a Journal Square-bound or Newark Penn Station-bound train to Journal Square and transfer to a World Trade Center-bound or 33 St.-bound train. Alternatively, customers can begin their trip at nearby Exchange Pl. or Newport stations.
- For service from Newark-Penn Station, Harrison, or Journal Square to Grove: From Newark Penn Station and Harrison, customers can take a World Trade Center-bound train to Exchange Pl., and transfer to a Newark Penn Station-bound train to ride back to Grove St. From Journal Square, customers can either take a Hoboken/33 St.-bound train to Newport and transfer to a Journal-Square-bound train to ride back to Grove St., or take a World Trade Center-bound train to Exchange Pl. and transfer to a Newark Penn Station-bound train to ride back to Grove St.
This isn’t the first time that PATH announces major disruptions at the end of the year. The WTC PATH station closed for a year while the PA made Sandy repairs to the tunnels. The Grove station is expected to get a fresh coat of paint, new floor tiles, new support columns, and energy efficient lighting.
