Motorists should expect lane closures next week on Interstate 495/Long Island Expressway, the state Department of Transportation said Thursday.

The following closures are scheduled to take place during the off-peak overnight hours of 9:30 p.m. and 5 a.m.:

  • Tuesday & Wednesday: eastbound and westbound right lane between exit 32 (Little Neck Parkway) and exit 48 (Round Swamp Road);
  • Thursday: eastbound and westbound right lane between exit 48 and exit 60 (Ronkonkoma Avenue);
  • Friday: westbound right lane between exit 48 and exit 60.

During these closures, exit ramps are subject to short term closures while crews work in those areas.

No work will be taking place on Monday, September 3 (Labor Day) in accordance with Governor Cuomo’s suspension of construction projects to ease holiday weekend traffic.
