    Long Island Rail Road crews will conduct work at the Stony Brook Road Bridge in Stony Brook along the Port Jefferson line on Sunday, Oct. 8. To allow for work between the hours of 7:30 a.m. until around 7:30 p.m. that day, buses will substitute for trains at St. James, Stony Brook and Port Jefferson stations during those hours.

    Eastbound

    Customers traveling to St. James, Stony Brook and Port Jefferson stops will disembark trains at Smithtown and board buses for the balance of their trip. Customers should allow for up to 25 minutes in extra travel time to reach their destinations.

    Westbound

    Buses will depart up to 30 minutes earlier than scheduled train times from Port Jefferson, making stops at Stony Brook and St. James stations, in an effort to maintain normal train service when it resumes at Smithtown.

    Motorists

    Work will be performed at track level, allowing Stony Brook Road to remain open to traffic.
