Grade-crossing work to affect midday LIRR North Fork service in May
Written by jrood
February 14, 2001 MTA Long Island Rail Road service on the Main Line east of Ronkonkoma, N.Y., will be affected by two grade crossing renewal projects during two weeks in May. The Peconic Lane crossing in Peconic will be reconstructed during the week of May 10 through May 14 and the Horton Lane crossing in Southold will be reconstructed during the week of May 17-May 21.
During the work, midday
train service will be replaced by buses and highway traffic will be detoured
around the sites. The work includes replacing the rubber crossing pads with
longer lasting and smoother concrete crossing materials as well as rebuilding
the track bed and replacing the wood track ties with longer lasting concrete
track ties in the crossing area.
