Update to the Construction on Shore Road and Temporary Southern Lane Closure:
During the construction to add a traffic signal at the intersection of Harbor Road and Shore Road, the Nassau County Department of Public Works discovered a damaged seawall, sidewalk and section of the southbound lane.
Because of the undermining caused by the damaged seawall, Nassau County has closed the western southbound travel lane until repairs can be made. In the meantime, various options are being explored to restore the pavement’s structural integrity in hopes of normal traffic resuming as soon as possible. The temporary repairs are expected to be completed within 3-4 weeks.
The Village of Port Washington North is thankful that Nassau County discovered the damage within the road and prevented what could’ve been a catastrophe. The safety and well-being of all of our residents will always be our top priority. We hope that normal traffic can resume on Shore Road as soon as it is safe to do so.
