About the LIRR Expansion Project - 3rd Track, Grade Crossings and More - January 2017

This video describes the Long Island Rail Road Expansion Project -- a new proposal to improve service options and reliability for hundreds of thousands of customers by adding a third track to the congested LIRR Main Line. The project will also reduce automobile traffic congestion by adding train options for travelers and eliminating street-level grade crossings, and it will improve safety and quality of life for people in the project corridor.
The proposed project is completely different from prior proposals to expand track capacity on the LIRR’s Main Line. This project will include:
- No residential property acquisitions
- Eliminating all grade crossings within the 9.8 mile project corridor
- Building sound walls to reduce noise
- Station upgrades
- Additional parking
- Increased reliance on private construction industry expertise to minimize construction duration, impact and cost
- Unprecedented level of public outreach to engage local officials, homeowners and other stakeholders and use their input while the project is being planned
