The MTA announced on Thursday that Long Island Rail Road Service between Hicksville and Mineola on the Port Jefferson and Ronkonkoma Lines has been suspended for this Saturday and Sunday, May 16 and 17, due to the demolition of the Ellison Avenue Bridge.

The bridge, which spans the LIRR’s main line tracks through the Village of Westbury, is being replaced this weekend. Buses will be available at the stops affected by the construction, the Mineola, Carle Place, Westbury and Hicksville stations. The work is not expected to affect other lines, or travel between Mineola and Penn Station.
