The main entrance to the World Trade Center PATH train station was closed again Tuesday morning due to falling ice from One World Trade Center, angering commuters who were late for work as a result.

Steamed commuters were forced to use to the Brookfield Place or West Concourse entrances after the entrance was closed about 8:45 a.m.

“It’s infuriating. Because it’s freezing, it’s winter, why aren’t there proper precautions?” snapped Lenora Houseworth, 30, who takes the PATH train in from Jersey City for her job in Midtown.

She also had harsh words for Port Authority officials for a lack of information Tuesday and when the same thing happened last week.

“They were very snide in communicating it via social media. So I was like ‘Hey you guys need to get it together, this is unacceptable. You guys are not communicating this effectively at all,’” she said, adding that the closure added about 40 minutes to her commute.

It was unclear when the main entrance would reopen.

Ice also fell from the 1,776-foot tall tower last Friday, forcing emergency workers to close off several streets.
