Flooding at Wantagh State Parkway Entrance

Access road swamped with rainwater and melting snow.

Melting snow from this weekend's blizzard combined with Monday's steady rain has caused flooding across parts of Wantagh.

The access road to the Wantagh State Parkway, Poplar Place, is flooded. Cars were seen swerving out of the way and continuing north on Wantagh Avenue.

The National Weather Service is currently calling for more rain and widespread dense fog through the remainder of Monday. Visibility will frequently be reduced to one-quarter mile or less. The NWS advises motorists to use low-bean headlights when driving and leave plenty of distance ahead in case a sudden stop is needed.

$20 million of the $40 million will be spent on adding a pocket track, presumably east ofRead More Massapequa. Currently, trains are reversed east of the Wantagh interlocking, and while the engineer walks through the train, it blocks the track. This addition of a "pocket track" will probably also help Wantagh commuters some times, just as an emergency pull-over space on the LIE helps.

True, true, I'm sure there's a political payoff/payback here somewhere.
