Construction closes 31st Street in Union City, buses detoured

09/03/2025 08:50 PM (PDT)

Pleasant Ave & 31st St, Union City, NJ 07087

Good evening, all port authority operators, good evening all port authority operators. Please be advised that in Wee Hawken, there's some construction going on on 31st Street in Union City. There's also construction on, I might as say, 30th Street on the opposite side of 495. Please listen carefully so that this way you can be guided around this detour. If you're heading out from New York and you need to take 31st Street through Union City, use the following detour in order to get around that closure. Beginning at... North Marginal Highway, which is also known as 34th Street, you're going to make that left onto Pleasant Avenue, a right on to 32nd Street, and then a left ticket back on 31st Street after you cross over 495. Again, when heading out from New York. Beginning at North Margino Highway, which is the same thing as 31st Street, it leads over to that. You're going to make a left onto Pleasant Avenue, a right onto 32nd Street, and then a left onto 31st Street, and continue your route. For the 159, you can go ahead and make that right onto Park Avenue, and then make a left on to 43rd Street, and then make a right onto New York Avenue in order to continue your route. Now, if you're heading inbound and have to go through, to New York, through Union City. Please be advised the police are letting you through on South Marginal Highway so you're able to continue across there. The police are allowing bus service through so you don't have to detour. So, there's no detour technically needed when you're heading in towards the port authority through Union City. No need to detour, the police are letting buses through the area. But, like I said, when coming out of New York and you have to service Union City or get up to 31st Street, please be advised there is a detour. This is all due to construction. When you get out and you're on north margin highway, which is the same thing that turns into 31st Street. At Pleasant Avenue, you're going to make a left onto Pleasant Avenue, a right on to 32nd Street, a left on to 31st Street, and then you're going to continue your regular route. For the 159 heading out, I know that you guys need to use New York Avenue, so you won't be able to get street to New York Avenue. The best route for you to take is to make that right onto Park Avenue or Pleasant Avenue slash Park Avenue. Take that up to 43rd Street, make a left on 43rd Street, a right onto New York Avenue, and then continue your regular route. Control Center out at 1153 p.m.
