Work on switches at the Long Island Rail Road crossing at Peconic Lane in Peconic will change train schedules between Greenport and Ronkonkoma on Tuesday, Dec. 12.
Four eastbound trains and four westbound trains between Ronkonkoma and Greenport will be canceled on Dec. 12 and bus service will be provided to accommodate travelers between Greenport, Southold, Mattituck, Riverhead, Yaphank and Medford, connecting them to regular service between Ronkonkoma and Penn Station. Regular service will resume Wednesday, Dec. 13.
The single, main track will be taken out of service after 6:59 a.m., when the 5:30 train from Greenport to Ronkonkoma arrives.
Canceled eastbound trains include the 7:30 a.m. 12:42 p.m. and 6:53 p.m. departures from Ronkonkoma to Greenport; as well as the 5:21 p.m. train from Ronkonkoma to Yaphank, according to a press release from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
