Significant progress has been made on the LIRR Expansion Project from Floral Park to Hicksville, one of the region’s most noteworthy transportation projects. While the duration and intensity of work depends on the project element under construction, the 3rd Track Constructors team is phasing elements to reduce the amount of disruption in any given community at any given time.
During the month of February, you will see crews performing the following construction activities in Carle Place:
Completion dates are subject to change due to developments related to COVID-19
Wall Construction
- Crews substantially completed restoring Atlantic Avenue on the north side of the tracks between the Meadowbrook Parkway and Cherry Lane Bridge.
- A dedicated landscaping area has been constructed along the wall and landscaping has been installed in most of the available areas. In the spring of 2022, 3TC will return to the area to finish the wall in its permanent condition and maintain newly planted greenery
G17 Substation
- Following the successful delivery and installation of the G17 Substation, 3TC and EJ Electric will continue to work on the necessary electrical components which feed the substation
- The G17 Substation is one of several substations along the Main Line being replaced or modified with new modern equipment.
Carle Place Station Enhancements
- 3TC, EJ Electric and various subcontractors will continue performing finish work in and around the Carle Place Station
- The Garden Avenue ramp is now fully functional, ensuring ADA accessibility. Crews are awaiting the delivery of the handrail. Once received and installed, the surrounding fencing will also be put into place
LIRR Work Along The Right of Way
- In addition to 3TC’s activities, you may see or hear LIRR forces working along the railroad right-of-way
