Port Washington LIRR Station updates

The LIRR provided the following update on its substation replacement project:

Good Afternoon:

My name is Denise Gray and I am working with Hector Garcia in the Government Affairs office.

I am contacting you to update you on the ongoing reconstruction of the LIRR substation in Port Washington.  The old substation has been demolished and the new one will be rebuilt at the same location. 

Construction of a new foundation on the existing site, located adjacent to the railroad tracks by South Bayles Avenue and Davis Avenue in Port Washington, will begin on Monday, May 22, 2017.  Work is scheduled to take place from Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and will include excavation and concrete work on LIRR property. 

It will take approximately six months to finish this phase of the work.  On completion we will reach out to you again to coordinate the process for the delivery of the new substation.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Denise Gray
