Beginning Sept. 5, motorists should expect overnight lane closures on both the northbound and southbound lanes of the Nassau Expressway between Rockaway Turnpike and Burnside Avenue.
In addition, lane closures will take place on northbound and southbound lanes of Rockaway Turnpike between the Nassau Expressway and Peninsula Boulevard as well as on the eastbound and westbound lanes of Burnside Avenue between Henry Street and West End Avenue. The lane closures will continue on Sept. 6 and 7 from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
The lane closures are necessary to re-stripe the roadways in preparation for traffic shifts and detours along the Nassau Expressway and Rockaway Turnpike. During construction, two lanes of traffic will be maintained in each direction on Nassau Expressway and three lanes of traffic in each direction on Rockaway Turnpike.
