NJT calls this the busiest weekend in its history

Ridgewood NJ ,Beginning today Saturday May 19th , one of two eastbound lanes on South Marginal Street in Weehawken is scheduled to close for repairs, resulting in a significant reduction in traffic capacity along the roadway adjacent to Route 495 near the Lincoln Tunnel.
As a result, many of NJ Transit’s bus routes on eastbound South Marginal Street will operate with delays, and the domino effect of delays could affect New Jersey-bound passengers waiting for the buses to arrive at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan.
This four-month construction project begins as the Bamboozle music festival continues Saturday in Asbury Park, the Electric Daisy Carnival dance music fest continues at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford and the New Jersey Devils play the New York Rangers in a playoff hockey match at the Prudential Center in Newark, leading to what NJ Transit officials are calling the busiest weekend in the history of the statewide transportation agency.
The construction will affect the following New York-bound bus routes: No. 107 (from Irvington), 108 (Newark), 111 (Jersey Gardens), 115 (Rahway), 121 (North Bergen), 123 (Jersey City), 124 (Secaucus), 125 (Jersey City/Journal Square), 127 (Ridgefield/Union City), 129 Secaucus/Union City), 144 (Elmwood Park/Hackensack), 154 (Fort Lee/Palisades Park), 156 (Englewood Cliffs), 159 (Fort Lee), 160 (Elmwood Park/Wallington), 161 (Paterson/Passaic), 163 (Ridgewood), 167 (Harrington Park), 190 (Paterson/Rutherford), 191 (Willowbrook/Montclair), 192 (Clifton), 195 (Willowbrook/Cedar Grove) and 199
