Find out what roads you should avoid this weekend.

The LIRR is taking advantage of the 48-hour train service suspension by performing other track work in New Hyde Park this weekend.
In addition to the installation of the Ellison Avenue Bridge in Westbury, the LIRR will improve track work and drainage between Mineola and HIcksville and will replace the 12th Street crossing in New Hyde Park.
To accommodate the grade crossing improvement work, vehicular traffic will be diverted from 12th Street to Covert Avenue and New Hyde Park Road for the entire weekend.
