Starting July 15th, the LIRR will be taking both the escalator and adjoining stairs out of service at the Lindenhurst Station. The escalator will be out of service for approximately 3 weeks while the stairs will be out of service for 3 days (coming back into service on July 18th).
This is to correct the ramp that leads up to the escalator itself, which is at a gradient that is not compliant with the latest ADA standards and also to replace those railings. While it is out of service, passengers can use either staircase to the west or east, or of course, the brand new elevator!
