ELIZABETH — The elevator serving the outbound (westbound) platform at Elizabeth Station will remain out of service until mid-September due to significant damage to the cab car caused by vandalism.
NJ TRANSIT’s elevator service contractor has determined that the car’s floor and doors are damaged beyond repair and must be replaced. New doors require approximately six weeks for delivery.
Until the elevator is repaired, customers requiring accessible service should consider the following travel options:
