Work crews have returned to Glenwood Road to complete drainage improvement work just to the north of the intersection with Bryant Avenue that began last month.
Weather permitting, the Nassau County Department of Public Works (DPW) estimates work will take approximately one to two weeks from the November 22 start date. Motorists who rely upon this intersection in their daily commutes are cautioned that detour #1, as outlined on the above map, will be in use.
“Glenwood Road is such an important route for so many North Shore motorists, and it is vital to complete a crucial investment in our infrastructure that will help to keep the people of Roslyn Harbor safe, prevent flooding, and preserve our quality of life,” Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D-Glen Cove) said. “I am thankful to DPW for seeing this project through, and I once again thank everyone for their patience and understanding in the final stages of this project.”
The continued work on Glenwood Road marks the latest in a series of infrastructure projects across District 11, including drainage work and improvements near North Shore High School in Glen Head spanning Glen Cove Avenue’s intersections with Club Road, Plymouth Drive South, and Harbor Way; milling and repaving work on Scudders Lane from Glenwood Road to Glen Cove Avenue in Glen Head/Roslyn Harbor; West Shore Road in Port Washington, Glen Cove Avenue in downtown Glen Cove, and Duck Pond Road in Glen Cove.
Earlier this year, the Legislature’s Rules Committee signed off on nearly $15 million in contracts for sewer system upgrades. The work encompasses the full rehabilitation of the Knott Drive (Glen Head), Morgan Park, Viola Drive (both Glen Cove) and Roslyn pump stations, the conversion of the Knott Drive ejector station into a submersible pump station, and construction management services related to the Harwood Ejector Station and Southridge Pump Station improvement projects in Glen Cove.
Most recently, on November 20, DeRiggi-Whitton and the Legislature’s Rules committee voted unanimously to add $220,000 to the maximum of the county’s contract with LiRo Program and Construction Management for construction management services related to the Glen Cove Wastewater Treatment Plant Sludge Dewatering Project, bringing the contract maximum to $1,761,750.36.
