The JSQ-WTC, JSQ-33, HOB-33 and HOB-WTC lines are operating, officials noted.
What caused the delays? Ugly weather, a spokesperson told Patch.
“As that portion of the system is not underground, icy and snowy conditions can impact service and require delays or temporary suspensions for safe operation,” a spokesperson said. “In this case, ice around the Dock Bridge required service modifications.”
The Port Authority has resumed running Newark to WTC service, which has been single-tracked with 20-minute headways.
