ALERT: JFK Airport- Water Main Break (April 27, 2017)

April 27, 2017

A water main break near the main roadway through JFK Airport is causing significant delays. Traffic to and from all JFK terminals is impacted.

On Twitter, JFK Airport states:

Heavy delays entering #JFK due to water main break. Follow signs to Kiss and Fly AirTrain drop off to access all terminals. Allow extra time.

According to WPIX-TV in New York:

A water main break is causing “significant” traffic issues entering and leaving John F. Kennedy Airport Wednesday morning.

Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman said Wednesday a major water main break on the outbound Van Wyck Expressway has closed a section of the roadway, forcing all traffic to exit the airport via the JFK Expressway.

“There are significant traffic delays,” Coleman said. “Air passengers are urged to take the JFK AirTrain if traveling to the airport until repairs can be made.”

He says Port Authority crews are on the scene assessing the damage and beginning to fix the roadway.

MTA says Q3 buses are running with delays in both directions, due to the water main break.

Again, recommendations are for travelers to utilize the AirTrain to access the airport.
