LIRR to renew Atlantic Avenue grade crossing on Long Beach branch
Written by jrood
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Long Island Rail Road is performing grade crossing renewal work on the Atlantic Avenue railroad grade crossing, on the LIRR's Long Beach Branch in Oceanside. The work will take place over two weekends, October 8 and 9 and October 15 and 16, and will require the closure of the road and a detour route. On the first weekend the north track will be completed. The second (or south track) will be done on the following weekend. The crossing renewal 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.
