22 times • AUGUST 6, 2015 FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.timesnewsweekly.com LIRR bridge work to close Glendale street BY ANTHONY GIUDICE agiudice@ridgewoodtimes.com @A_GiudiceReport A portion of a Glendale street is closed as the Long Island Rail Road reconstructs an overpass above it. The LIRR is making repairs to the railroad bridge that runs above 65th Street between Otto Road and Shaler Avenue in Glendale, according to Gary Giordano, district manager of Community Board 5. The tracks, which are owned by the LIRR, are leased for use by New York and Atlantic Railway (NY&A). According to NY&A President Paul Victor, the project will require the entire bridge to be replaced. What makes this project more difficult is that it must be done “under traffic,” which means train operations will not stop during the construction. Only one of the four tracks will be out of service at a time, according to Victor, which will allow NY&A’s freight trains to continue to operate during construction. “The street is going to probably be closed for a two month period, give or take,” Victor said. Giordano told the Ridgewood Times in a phone interview that he received verbal confirmation from the LIRR that “in all likelihood, the project will not be completed before the end of calendar year 2015.” Emergency vehicles and residents should be prepared to use Cypress Hills Street or 80th Street as alternate routes while the bridge is closed, Giordano said.
