The Hoboken PATH station will be closed from 1:59 p.m. on Thursday, January 30th until 5 a.m. Tuesday, February 25th, 2025 “for significant track and station upgrades” as part of their two-year $330 million PATH Forward program, the Port Authority said.

“This closure will undoubtedly pose challenges for Hoboken riders, and we recognize the impact it will have on their daily routines,” Port Authority Chair Kevin O’Toole said in a statement.

“The PATH system is a vital connection in our region, and this work is crucial to ensuring it remains safe, reliable, and efficient for the thousands who depend on it every day. We appreciate the patience and understanding of our riders as we work to strengthen this essential infrastructure.”

Specific repairs include replacing in-station tracks and switches, sometimes referred to as Hoboken Interlocking, replacing 4,500 linear feet of track in the two tunnels leading into the station, and replacing the concrete walking surfaces and restoring the public areas at the station.

“PATH is continually striving to create the best possible travel experience for our customers,” added PATH Director/General Manager Clarelle DeGraffe.

“We recognize the inconvenience our customers will experience during this period of essential infrastructure and station rehabilitation, and we appreciate their patience and understanding as we work to make this 116-year-old rail network more reliable.”

Additionally, there will be three public information sessions in November.

One at 5:30 p.m. on November 12th at the Hoboken Terminal, 1 Hudson Place, one at 2 Montgomery St. in Jersey City on 5:30 p.m. the following day, November 13th, and one virtual session at 6 p.m. on December 10th.

During this time, there will be cross-honored ferry service, free PATH shuttle bus service connecting Hoboken riders to the stations at Newport and Exchange Place in Jersey City, supplemental bus service to NJ Transit Line No. 126, as well as additional Hudson-Bergen Light Rail service.

Former 1st Ward Councilman Mike DeFusco slammed Hoboken City Hall after his successor, Paul Presinzano, announced the upcoming PATH closure on X.

“A massive failure by City Hall. #Hoboken City Council wasn’t consulted until recently on resident impacts—unbelievable, but sadly not surprising. Career politicians keep making moves without proper planning or accountability,” he wrote.
