Exchange Place and World Trade Center Stations will remain closed weekends during the month of February to allow crews uninterrupted time to complete necessary repairs.

The Hoboken line resumed service mid-December. Hoboken's PATH station was the last one to reopen after suffering the most severe damage.

The Port Authority expects overnight weekend service to return between Newark and World Trade Center in the month of March. At that time, all PATH service will be restored to pre-Sandy status.
