In addition, buses that normally operate on Raymond Boulevard will be rerouted to Market Street due to intermittent road closures on Raymond Boulevard between McCarter Highway, Mulberry Street and Broad Street.  To minimize delays, the City of Newark has provided NJ TRANSIT with a dedicated bus lane on Market Street.  NJ TRANSIT is posting printed customer service notices and other signage at all Newark Light Rail stations. Additionally, NJ TRANSIT ambassadors or operations personnel will be on-hand at stations with substitute bus service to personally assist customers during peak service times.
