Bethpage Parkway Closings at Hempstead Turnpike Bridge to Begin Monday Night

The Bethpage State Parkway will be closed in both directions most nights beginning Monday night at 10 p.m. at the Hempstead Turnpike due to repairs, State Department of Transportation officials said.

The parkway will be closed from 10 p.m. to 6 p.m. from Sunday through Thursday p.m. so workers can repair concrete and make bridge repairs.

The project is expected to take about three weeks, but bad weather could prolong things, officials said.

The 2.49 mile long parkway begins at exit 31 on the Southern State and continues north to Plainview Rd. in Bethpage, just east of Levittown.

Motorists are urged to use alternate routes.
