Beginning Friday, April 12 at 9PM, and continuing until Monday, April 15 at 5AM, and again from Friday, April 19 at 9PM until Monday, April 22 at 5AM, Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast Line trains will use platform extensions or low-level platforms to detrain and board trains at North Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Linden, and Rahway stations, due to switch replacement work.

During this time, delays of up to 15 minutes are possible on westbound NEC trains from Newark Airport to Trenton stations, and on westbound NJCL trains from Newark Airport to Long Branch stations. Connecting Bay Head shuttle trains may also be delayed.

NOTE: From 9PM Friday until 6AM Saturday, from 9PM Saturday until 6AM Sunday, and from 9PM Sunday until 5AM Monday, customers boarding/detraining at North Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Linden and Rahway stations may be required to use low-level platforms. If low-level platforms are in use, those requiring level boarding should do the following:

If you are traveling to North Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Linden or Rahway: Detrain at Newark Penn Station and call 908-324-3517 to arrange for AccessLink transport to your station.
If you are boarding at North Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Linden or Rahway: Call 908-324-3517 to arrange for AccessLink transport from your station to either Metropark (if continuing to stations on the Northeast Corridor) or Woodbridge (if continuing to stations on the North Jersey Coast Line).
