The westbound HOV and left lanes of the L.I.E. will be closed at exit 53 — Sagtikos State Parkway in Hauppauge — between 9:30 p.m. and 5 a.m. for bridge maintenance if the weather cooperates, the New York State Department of Transportation announced. The maintenance should take one night, a department spokesman told Patch.
