  • 1:04 PM For the protection of motorists, a single travel lane in each direction is now closed to motorists around-the-clock on the Horseblock Road Bridge over the Long Island Expressway (LIE/I495) in the Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County. The closures are expected to remain in effect until July 2012, weather permitting. . A single travel lane in the eastbound and the westbound directions remains open to motorists and they are still able to make turns onto the LIE service roads at all times. These closures are needed to perform major steel and concrete repairs, including replacement of the bridge deck and deck joints in order to maintain the integrity of this over forty year old bridge

Watching the sun set over Long Island can be a dazzling show, when red, pink and purple hues wash across the glowing horizon. But you don't have to enjoy the sky show alone. With fellow sky watchers, you can see the sun set over Fire Island, the Connecticut Shore or the Manhattan Skyline. You can welcome twilight canoeing on a river, yachting on the Sound - even to the beat of drums.
