A temporary detour has been scheduled for a stretch of Sunrise Highway later this week, the NYSDOT is advising.
An alert was issued by the NYSDOT cautioning that between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. on Friday, May 6, eastbound traffic on the highway will be detoured onto the South Service Road at Exit 49 (Lakeland Avenue/Suffolk County Route 93) in the Town of Islip.
The detours are to facilitate a bridge cleaning project.
On Thursday, May 5, in Nassau County, the NYSDOT also announced that the Exit 38 ramp from the eastbound Long Island Expressway (I-495) to the eastbound Northern State Parkway in the Town of North Hempstead will be closed from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m.
The ramp closure is to allow contracting crews to perform bridge maintenance in the area.
During the closure, officials said that a detour will be available at Exit 39 for Glen Cove Road southbound for approximately two miles for access to the Northern State Parkway.
