The Nassau County Department of Public Works will perform important drainage work and improvements near North Shore High School on Glen Cove Avenue in Glen Head, starting on May 20.
The project is expected to take two weeks and motorists who rely on Glen Cove Avenue’s intersections with Club Road, Plymouth Drive South, and Harbor Way, should plan for delays and use alternate routes while the work is being completed. This is the latest in a series of projects across district 11 in the past weeks.
The DPW has undertaken 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. Pedestrian signals have also been added at the crossings for Shore and Harbor Roads in Port Washington; as part of that project, the existing signal at Mill Pond Road will also be rebuilt to add pedestrian crossing signals.
Earlier this month, 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 for the pump stations at Knott Drive in Glen Head, Morgan Park and Viola Drive in Glen Cove and Roslyn, 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.
“I am glad to see that Nassau County is continuing to commit significant resources toward vital improvements to our roads, drainage and sewers across the district – upgrades that will yield long-term benefits for our quality of life upon their completion,” Nassau County Legislative Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D-Glen Cove) said. “As we continue advocating for additional investments in our community, I once again thank everyone for their understanding as these projects are completed.”
