Get ready for a bad travel week: Delays on commutes and flights

play

New Jersey commuters can anticipate delays this week as they head to and from New York City this week, and there could be long lines at Newark Liberty International Airport.

Several lanes will be closed on the George Washington Bridge, Holland Tunnel, Lincoln Tunnel, Bayonne Bridge and Goethals Bridge from June 14 through June 20, according to a press statement by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

The Port Authority is advising all travelers to leave additional time due to the closures.

Newark Airport will also have delays as the TSA is replacing its screening technology in Airport Terminal B. Longer wait times are anticipated in security and travelers with departing flight from that terminal should arrive at least three hours before their scheduled departure, the Port Authority advised.
