Greenport roundabout construction set to start Sept. 22

Drivers in Greenport should start budgeting a little extra time as the installation of the long-awaited roundabout at the intersection of Route 25 and Route 48 finally begins Monday, Sept. 22.

The road work, announced by Gov. Kathy Hochul in April 2024 as part of four East End infrastructure projects totaling $10.9 million, is expected to take a few weeks to complete, local officials said.

“Off of that route, they’re supposed to remain with traffic being able to pass through that area while it’s under construction,” said Daniel Goodwin, Southold superintendent of highways. “You just have to, obviously, follow the construction signs and any flaggers that are out there, as you would with any construction site when you enter.”
