Several stations on the Long Island Rail Road are undergoing “complete reconstruction” and utility relocation is underway across the 9.8-mile third track project despite the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesperson.
Stations in New Hyde Park, Merillon Avenue, Mineola and Carle Place are being rebuilt, while the Floral Park station is being updated as part of the project to build a third track on the Main Line from Floral Park to Hicksville.
