Portal Bridge ‘cutover’ project to impact NJ Transit services. Here’s what it means for you.

Funeral services were held Monday for the East Brook Middle School student killed last week in a school bus crash on Interstate-80.
Services were held in Clifton for 10-year-old Miranda Vargas. News 12 New Jersey is told that about 150 people attended the funeral. Friends and family remembered Vargas as a sweet, respectful child who loved riding her bike.
Vargas, along with teacher Jennifer Williamson-Kennedy, was killed when the school bus they were riding in collided with a dump truck near Exit 25 in Mount Olive. Over 40 other students and adults were injured. The bus was one of three headed to Waterloo Village in Stanhope for a class field trip.
A wake will be held for Williamson-Kennedy Tuesday and Wednesday at Vander Plaat Memorial Home in Paramus. A funeral mass will be held Thursday.
