If you’re a native Long Islander, you know that summer fun, means plenty of Jones Beach concert, car shows, craft shows along the Long Beach boardwalk and lots of fun in the sun out in the Hamptons. And, you also likely know that it will take you virtually “forever” to get to these places. And, pretty much that’s how its always been.

Well if 7 hours to go from Port Washington to the Hamptons wasn’t long enough, you may want to brace yourself for some serious road trips and that’s just getting from point A to point B here on Long Island.

In fact, experts say that summertime has always been the season for construction here on Long Island and this year local and visitors alike can expect between now and September, extensive road projects with nighttime closing along the Long Island Expressway, Meadowbrook Parkway, Loop Parkway, Southern State, Northern State, Wantagh Parkway, Route 24-Hempstead Turnpike, Route 27-Sunrise Highway, Route 109, Route 111 and Roslyn Road just to nave a few. And, they add that some other roads in need of closure may be subject to daytime shutdowns if needed.

All this because of some major reconstruction taking place across The Island including the completion of resurfacing work to the eastbound LIE HOV lane between Exits 41 and 52 and the resurfacing on the main road between Exits 48 and 51.

So, for those in a rush to get to where you are going, you may want to get a complete list of all the summertime projects and closures for the 2007 summer season by calling the NYSDOT at 1-800-Roadwork.
