Today i walked past LIC station and saw they had torn most of the southmost tracks out. Does anyone know why?

LIRR had older trackage on the southern most tracks which had older wood railroad ties. I presume they are keeping these active and are doing track work, such as ties, rails, and whatnot. They look to be in bad shape from satellite imagery so a ripout and replacement were required.
They mentioned they like to be close to transportation......
