Hofstra University students who need to cross Hempstead Turnpike this weekend can hop aboard shuttle buses.
The university is providing rides from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. as its unispan bridge remains closed.
The Hempstead Turnpike was closed for hours Thursday after a truck hit the bridge in the afternoon.
The walkway is expected to remain closed for weeks.
Repairs will be done overnight to reduce traffic delays.
