Atlantic Avenue Road Closure Schedule Updates from LIRR
The Village has been informed of a schedule change for the Atlantic Avenue Road Closure as follows:
The Long Island Rail Road will be performing construction work relative to the third track construction starting on February 1, 2021 for approximately 3-4 weeks. Work will occur on the north side of Atlantic Avenue, between Carnation and Childs Avenue. The scope of work includes the installation of a new retaining wall, service steps and a signal shed at track level. Once completed, the fencing and shrubbery will be restored.
Methods of construction will include drilling for piles, therefore a road closure in this area will be necessary to accommodate the large equipment. The duration for road closure is approximately 3 weeks, from Monday, February 1 – Friday, February 19, 7:00 am – 3:30 pm each week day. During this time all traffic on Atlantic Avenue between Carnation and Childs Avenue will be restricted to emergency vehicles and for necessary access to driveways encompassed in this area. The LIRR will be providing traffic control signage and a flagger to accommodate the detours. All schedules are weather dependent, changes will be communicated as received.

Third Track Update January 14, 2021: Switch Work by Tunnel Street
As a part of the replacement of the track “switches” on the LIRR Hempstead Line in relation to the Third Track Project, 3TC has begun work on the Hempstead Line east and west of Tunnel Street.
The tunnel between Magnolia Avenue and Tunnel Street will remain open for pedestrians during this work, but construction activity will be taking place in close proximity to the tunnel. 3TC will have flagmen present and may intermittently close off the tunnel with “caution tape” for short durations for safety reasons when equipment is in use near the exit on the Tunnel Street side of the tunnel. Please also exercise caution when using the tunnel and be aware of equipment that may be in use in the vicinity.
If you have any questions, please call the Department of Public Works at 516-326-6320.
