Roadwork to Close Westbound Sunrise Lanes in RVC

The Village of Rockville Centre will be closing down two travel lanes on the westbound side of Sunrise Highway at Morris Avenue Tuesday night, July 30, between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m.

These closures are needed to perform lighting work at Morris Avenue, weather permitting.

Motorists are urged to use alternate routes or they will experience delays during these Sunrise Highway lane closures. The New York State Department of Transportation is reminding drivers who cannot use alternate routes are reminded to drive carefully through the work zone for their safety as well as the safety of the highway work crew.  

For real-time travel information motorists should call 511 or visit www.511NY.org, New York State’s official traffic and travel information source. Motorists may also obtain travel information from the INFORM Transportation Management Center cameras at www.INFORMNY.com and on their hand held communication devices at www.INFORMNY.mobi.

Drivers are reminded of the Move-Over Law that now includes all hazard vehicles with amber lights such as tow trucks and construction vehicles. On parkways and other major highways with multiple lanes, drivers must move  to a travel lane away from a vehicle displaying amber, red, white, or blue flashing lights, or slow down.

Violators face moving violation fines and points on their drivers’ licenses. Drivers should also be aware that fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone.
