    LIRR crews will complete a railroad tie replacement project between Patchogue and Montauk stations next week, from Monday, November 12, to Friday, November 16, 2018, increasing service reliability and safety along this stretch of the Montauk Branch.

    This proactive infrastructure work, including surfacing and drainage remediation, will take place each day during off-peak hours, in an effort to minimize service changes during busy weekday service periods. This work to renew the railroad's infrastructure will require bus service to substitute for trains between these stations, starting at 8:01 a.m. until 5:41 p.m. each day.  

    Eastbound trains will terminate at Patchogue, where customers traveling to stations Bellport through Montauk will board buses to their destination. Westbound customers traveling from Montauk through Bellport will board buses at their station, bound for Patchogue, where train service will resume.
