Gov. Kathy
Hochul says construction will begin on a $27 million project to rework Exit 53
on the Long Island Expressway, which connects to Crooked Hill Road.
Two off-ramps
will be added to give direct access to Crooked Hill Road, going both eastbound
and westbound.
In addition,
a second lane will be paved on the eastbound ramp – headed toward the
southbound Sagtikos.
Officials say
the project will give drivers easier access to shopping, parks and local
businesses.
