Where the roadway is too narrow to accommodate two travel lanes, an alternating one way traffic pattern will be utilized.\u00a0 Intermittent brief closures of all lanes may also be utilized to accommodate positioning of construction equipment.\u00a0 While construction will take place predominantly at night, some off-peak, midday lane shifts\/closures will be needed.\u00a0 To further minimize the impact of construction operations on motorists and residents, paving operations will be performed and substantially completed on shorter segments of NY Route 25\/Middle Country Road rather than disrupting the entire 1.4 mile project length.<\/p>\n These closures are needed to resurface this deteriorated section of NY Route 25 which is part of the $7.8 million NYS Department of Transportation project to repair Long Island\u2019s heavily traveled roadways and improve the safety of motorists. \u00a0During this mill and fill operation, the top layer of the damaged pavement is being removed then replaced with new asphalt.\u00a0 Traffic signal vehicle detector loops will be replaced and fresh pavement markings will be installed.\u00a0 Drainage cleaning and repairs will also be performed.\u00a0 When completed, this resurfacing project will improve motorists\u2019 safety and restore the integrity of NY Route 25\/Middle Country Road. Weather permitting, this repaving work is expected to be completed in about two months.<\/p>\n Motorists are being warned in advance of the construction work via electronic road signs and should use alternate routes or they may experience travel delays.\u00a0 Drivers who must use this construction route are reminded to drive carefully through the work zone for their safety as well as the safety of the highway work crew. \u00a0As with most road work, this operation is weather dependent and may be canceled, postponed, or prolonged due to inclement weather.\u00a0 Emergency service providers and local officials have been notified of these construction operations.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n For real-time travel information motorists should call 511 or visit www.511NY.org<\/a>, New York State\u2019s official traffic and travel information source. Motorists may also obtain travel information from the INFORM Transportation Management Center cameras at www.INFORMNY.com<\/a>\u00a0 and on their hand held communication devices at www.INFORMNY.mobi<\/a> .<\/p>\n NYSDOT appreciates the patience and cooperation of motorists during this important road improvement project.\u00a0 Follow New York State DOT on Twitter: @NYSDOTLI.\u00a0 Find us on Facebook at facebook.com\/NYSDOT.<\/p>\n ###<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For Immediate Release: Wednesday, May 12, 2016 Contact: Eileen W.
