Summary of the update: NJ TRANSIT reports that the west end of the Track 2 platform is closed due to ongoing repair work, while the east end remains open to access trains toward Newark Penn / New York Penn as work continues. Platforms and the parking lot are stated to be unaffected aside from the closed platform section.
Measurable impacts on residents: The impacted population is riders boarding/alighting on Track 2 at Morris Plains—especially those with routine commutes to Newark/NY Penn. Geographic scope is localized to the station platform area. Timeline: “effective immediately” with an expected duration “until approximately Friday, April 10.”
Recommended actions for residents: Riders should plan to access Track 2 from the east end of the platform, expect minor crowding or walking time changes, and follow posted construction/signage while the repair work is underway.
