Westbury
Significant progress has been made on the LIRR Expansion Project from Floral Park to Hicksville, one of the region’s most noteworthy transportation infrastructure projects. While the duration and intensity of work depends on the project element under construction, the 3rd Track Constructors team is phasing in specific project elements to reduce the amount of disruption in any given community at any given time.
During the month of September, you will see crews continuing construction activities in Westbury. By way of explanation:
Westbury North Parking Structure
- During the month of August, progress continued on the parking structure, including
- Excavation and the installation of support of excavation (SOE)
- Up to 100 tons of rebar delivered for the foundation
- 15,000 tons of dirt is being hauled away by truck
- Foundation work is expected to be completed in December of this year, with completion of the entire structure scheduled for spring 2021

Wall Construction
- On the north side of the tracks, from Ellison to Post Avenue, a sound wall will be installed and shafts will be drilled
- On the south side of the tracks, the sound wall construction is complete
- Crews will revisit the area to reinstall or mend existing fences along the right-of-way
LIRR Work along the Railroad Right-of-Way
- In addition and complementary to 3TC’s activities, you may see or hear LIRR forces working along the railroad right-of-way. These activities may include:
- Regular track inspection and maintenance; Rail tie replacement; Grade crossing elimination preparatory work
- To avoid LIRR service interruptions during peak commuting hours, LIRR work along the railroad right-of-way may take place overnight and on weekends
- We recognize that these activities may be disruptive and we remain committed to seeing the work completed in as short of a time frame as possible, all while maintaining safe and reliable operations
