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

Multiple lanes will be closed on the George Washington Bridge, Holland Tunnel, Lincoln Tunnel, Bayonne Bridge and Goethals Bridge from June 14 to 20, according to a news release from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

The Port Authority advises all travelers to allow extra time due to the closures.

Newark Airport will also experience delays as the TSA replaces its screening technology in the airport’s Terminal B. Longer wait times are expected due to security and travelers whose flight departs from this terminal should arrive at least three hours before their scheduled departure, the port authority advised.
