Everyone:
By special arrangement the Long Island Sunrise Trail Chapter-NRHS had our monthly meeting at the Third
Track Project Community Information Center for November. The Center is located at 114 Old Country Road
in Mineola which is between Willis Avenue and Roslyn Road across from the Nassau County Court building.
The Community Information Center is open to the public Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM to 1 PM and on
Wednesday from 12 Noon to 4 PM except holidays (both Christmas and New Year's Day this season).
I strongly suggest a visit if anyone is interested in the Third Track Project construction.
I was able to get a Construction Activity CAM map which shows a timeline of the various projects planned or
under way as of July 2019 in which I can share some information on grade crossing and bridges. Some dates have been further revised in the last six months (December 2019)
DISCLAIMER: **ALL DATES ARE FORECASTS WHICH ARE TENTATIVE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE**
Plainfield Avenue Bridge (FP-single 3rd track bridge) January to March 2020
Linden Avenue Pedestrian Underpass (FP) - December 2019 to March 2020
South 12th Street (NHP) Grade Crossing Elimination: January to March 2021;
Pre-cast underpass placement February 2021.
New Hyde Park Road Grade Crossing Elimination: Roll in bridge July 2020; Road open
September 2020
Denton Avenue Bridge Replacement: July-August (roll in bridge) 2021.
Main Street-Mineola Crossing full closure (no replacement) February to April 2021.
Willis Avenue Crossings - Fall 2020: Main Line Roll-In Bridge October 2020; Oyster
Bay Branch Roll-In Bridge November 2020; Road Closure August 2020 to February 2021
Glen Cove Road Bridge Replacement - April/May 2020 (bridge roll in)
Meadowbrook Parkway Bridge Replacement: Preparation work begins in March 2020
with the bridge reconstruction set for October 2020.
School Street Crossing-Westbury: Fall 2020 (Roll-In Bridge September 2020; Road
Open November 2020)
Roll In Bridges require a single weekend track outage - exact dates to be announced
With this I will wish everyone the best for the current Holiday Season and a happy
2020 ahead - again it will be interesting to see what changes are forthcoming...
