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.
