MTA Long Island Rail Road crews will perform important infrastructure rehabilitation by replacing the railroad crossing at South Oyster Bay Road in Hicksville this month.
LIRR engineering crews, including track, signal and third rail specialists, will proactively replace components at the crossing on Saturday, March 23, and Saturday, March 30, which will help prevent issues from occurring during train operation, and provide a smooth crossing surface for vehicular traffic.
On these Saturdays, starting at 1:17 a.m. and ending at 1:13 a.m. on Sunday, one of two tracks will be out of service between Hicksville and Wyandanch to allow for the work to take place. On these days, some trains on the Port Jefferson Branch and Ronkonkoma Branch trains will run on adjusted schedules, with affected connections on other branches.
