NJ Transit officials said it's due to extensive repairs being made to the signal system on the Portal Bridge.
According to Amtrak, a contractor caused an electrical issue on Thursday that impacted critical systems on the bridge.
Rail tickets and passes are being cross-honored by NJ Transit busts, private carriers and PATH trains at Newark-Penn Station, Hoboken and 33rd Street.
