Busy Northern State interchange to get $4 million upgrade

A busy intersection in Nassau County will soon be getting a much needed upgrade.
A nearly $4 million project will add additional lanes and upgraded signals where Glen Cove Road meets Jericho Turnpike.
The funding is being used to cut down congestion and enhance safety by the entrance of the Northern State Parkway.
New sidewalks and a raised pedestrian island are also a part of the plan.
News 12 is told work will be done at night to minimize traffic disruptions during the project.
It is expected to be complete by the summer.
