Adjusted Metro North Schedules in Effect Monday
Metro North said commuters can expect trips to take between two and 10 additional minutes during the project.
Regular train times on the Hudson Line will vary beginning Monday, Aug. 19 as Metro North continues its Bronx right-of-way improvement project, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) announced.
According to the MTA, "The schedules for trains on the Hudson, Harlem and New Haven Lines will be adjusted between two and 10 minutes to more accurately reflect travel times due to:
- Congestion due to tracks in the Bronx remaining out of service, reducing capacity.
- Speed restrictions in the Bronx to accommodate the improvements being made, as well as speed restrictions north and east of the Bronx to accommodate other long-term and routine infrastructure maintenance projects."

The right-of-way improvement project in the Bronx began on July 1 and affects the portion of the tracks where the New Haven, Hudson and Harlem lines converge.
"The project includes track and drainage improvements, tie replacement, fencing repairs and general cleanup of the area," according to the MTA. "The work is critical to improving the condition of our infrastructure as well as preventing its future deterioration. In the long term, our Bronx Right-of Way Improvement Project will restore the high reliability of our service through this important section of the railroad and improve your commute."
