MTA Long Island Rail Road customers traveling on the Port Jefferson, Montauk, Oyster Bay, Babylon, Ronkonkoma, Far Rockaway and West Hempstead Branches over the weekend of August 6 and August 7 should allow extra travel time as the LIRR undertakes important maintenance projects keeping both the Main Line and the Port Jefferson Branch in a state of good repair.
The most significant impacts to service will be on the Port Jefferson, Montauk and Oyster Bay Branches.
Customers can pick up a copy of the Special Weekend Timetable showing revised train times for each of the seven branches or on find it online at http://web.mta.info/lirr/Timetable/.

Westbound customers at Huntington, Cold Spring Harbor and Syosset will board buses up to 35 minutes earlier than usual to Hicksville for train services to points west.
