A key Huntington Station sewer maintenance closure on local streets has wrapped up ahead of schedule. Drivers now enjoy smoother commutes near New York Avenue and Whitman Shops.
The **Huntington Station sewer project** on streets like New York Avenue has resolved its latest maintenance closure, easing traffic for drivers near **Whitman Shops** and **Bloomingdales**.
Just as Long Island shakes off recent snow disruptions in **Huntington Village**—where metered parking was suspended January 24-26 due to heavy totals—good news hits for commuters. The Town of Huntington and Suffolk County wrapped a major phase of the sewer upgrade, avoiding the expected headaches from road closures, heavy equipment, and temporary metal plates.
Work on **New York Avenue** between **East 24th Street** and **Jericho Turnpike**, plus sections at **Albany Street**, **Greenland Drive**, and **Saddler Court**, was set for April to June 2026. Crews dug trenches up to 25 feet deep for new pipes, using directional drilling under New York Avenue to link to **Whitman Shops**. Overnight closures brought noises, vibrations, and beeping, but daily traffic reopened with asphalt patches or plates. Final paving comes from New York State in June 2026. This phase resolved early, sparing drivers extra delays.
Neighbors dealt with one-month disruptions per section, including daytime work on 150-foot extensions down nine side streets. Suffolk County coordinated detours with local fire and ambulance from **Huntington** stations. Upcoming phases hit **East 4th Street** from **New York Avenue** in September-October, then **1st Avenue** from **Depot Road** to **East Pulaski Road**. Drivers missed worse backups by the quick finish here, though other Suffolk County roads continue to cause daily disruptions for commuters.
June-July brings work behind **Whitman Shops** and a pump station upgrade, followed by **Corporate Center Drive** in Melville through November. Stay alert for signs near these spots. Broader Long Island road repair efforts are also underway, with $60 million allocated statewide to address infrastructure needs. Separately, the Huntington Station real estate market has been closely watched as infrastructure improvements shape neighborhood values.
