The Kroemer Avenue rail crossing will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday for crossing replacement work by the MTA, Riverhead Police announced in a press release this week.
The work is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, Oct. 14 at 5 a.m. and be completed by Wednesday, Oct. 15 at 11 p.m. During this time, there will be no through-access to the crossing, police said.
The crossing is located on the southern end of just north of N.Y. Route 25 (West Main Street). Traffic entering Kroemer Avenue from County Road 58 and other points north of the crossing will not be able to access Route 25 (West Main Street). County Road 58 will be the only means of ingress and egress from Kroemer Avenue during the MTA construction period.
Northbound Kroemer Avenue is a right-turn-only signalized intersection at County Road 58. There are no left turns allowed and northbound vehicles are not allowed to proceed across CR 58 with the green signal. Westbound traffic on CR 58 has a green signal at the same time.
Police said motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and use an alternate route.
