JFK Airport, NYC bridges and tunnels impacted by travel advisories, lane closures this weekend

NEW YORK — Heads up if you’re traveling this weekend — there’s an advisory at John F. Kennedy International Airport.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is encouraging travelers to use public transit or expect delays.

Construction is underway at JFK, and there are lane closures at the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels, as well as the Bayonne and Goethals Bridges.

Travel impacts at JFK

Anyone driving or taking for-hire vehicles to or from JFK Airport should expect delays, detours and closures due to ongoing construction. Travelers are encouraged to take public transportation.

Among the impacts, passengers looking to catch a for-hire vehicle service from Terminal 5 will need to take the AirTrain to Terminal 7’s Orange Garage roof. Travelers can still be dropped off in front of Terminal 5.

The taxi stand at Terminal 5 can now be found on the ground level of Terminal 5’s Yellow Parking Garage, which can be reached via the skywalk on the fifth floor.

Travelers can find more information about construction impacts at construction.JFKAirport.com.
