The bus terminal's fourth floor will be closed from 6 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 5 through 5:30 a.m. Monday, Dec. 7 for repairs to its concrete roadway.
Departures will be temporarily reassigned to new gates so bus service can continue without interruption.

While these closures are in effect through the weekend, the bus terminal will suspend its normal, daily 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. gate changes.

The Port Authority will also alert customers through announcements at the bus terminal, via signs at key terminal locations, and with additional uniformed personnel able to answer customers' questions.
The agency also will alert the public through its electronic alerts system and social media.
