During this period, Metro-North crews will make extensive improvements to the Port Jervis Line. This work includes performing structural repairs at the Moodna and Woodbury Viaducts, as well as removing the defunct overhead bridge at Day Road in Campbell Hall so that the town can establish formal culs-de-sac on either end. Crews will undertake an important rock slope remediation project, inspecting and reinforcing the rock slopes adjacent to the tracks between Port Jervis and Harriman to ensure that they’re free of any loose rocks and brush that could fall on to the tracks and cause delays. Elsewhere along the Line, crews will install ties, weld tracks and paint stations.
As a result of these improvements, substitute busing will be in effect for weekday, off-peak trains between Port Jervis and Harriman beginning on September 11 and continuing for several weeks.
Service details are below:
