The work involved will necessitate the complete closing of the railroad crossing in both directions and will require multiple days of road closures as detailed below: New Hyde Park Road $ On Monday, March 12 and Wednesday, March 14, 2007, road closure will be required between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. $ On Thursday, March 15, 2007, road closure will be required between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Upon completion of the crossing panel installation, temporary paving material will be installed between the Long Island Rail Road crossing panels and the saw cut line of the roadway. During the week of March 19, 2007, the approaches to New Hyde Park Road crossing will be repaved (weather permitting). This effort will be between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. and a minimum of a single lane of traffic will be maintained for both directions. The following are detour routes: $ Southbound traffic - right on Stewart Avenue, left on Covert Avenue, left on Chester Avenue, right on New Hyde Park Road. $ Northbound traffic - left on Chester Avenue, right on Covert Avenue, right on Stewart Avenue, left on New Hyde Park Road PARKING AT ST. PAUL'S It is gratifying to see all of the community activity at the St. Paul's Complex during the afternoon and evening hours during the week and throughout the day on weekends. When visiting St. Paul's please drive with caution and be aware that the children may not be paying attention to vehicles entering and exiting the complex. It is also important to only park in the paved area that have been designated for parking. Please do not park on the unpaved areas as it leaves ruts which are dangerous and unsightly.
