A stretch of the Long Island Expressway in the Town of Brookhaven is schedued to undergo nightly closures for road maintaiance work, according to the New York State Department of Transportation, and motorists are encouraged to plan for potential delays and detours in the coming weeks.
Starting Monday, October 9, both directions of the LIE at Exit 63 are slated to be closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. for two weeks to accommodate crews working on a bridge deck renewal project.
While the LIE is closed, traffic will be detoured onto the nearby service road, and new temporary traffic pattern that shifts lanes will be added.
