NWK-WTC delayed. Crews preparing for mandatory Hackensack River Drawbridge lift. We apologize for the inconvenience.
More information regarding the mandatory opening of the Hack River Bridge
The Hack Bridge, owned and operated by PATH, as well as the Dock Bridge (owned and operated by AMTRAK), are classified as "on demand” opening bridges. When a vessel contacts the Railroad that it needs the bridge raised, we are obligated to open it when the vessel arrives.
That said, most Tug Boat Towing and ship companies work with us. They typically give us 4 hours or more of notice and try to avoid weekday peak periods. However, some of the vessels require high tides to move through the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers and require the bridge to open when that occurs, even if it is during peak periods.
The United States Coast Guard monitors our compliance.
