HAUPPAUGE, NY – JULY 18, 2020: The Town of Smithtown recently completed reconstruction of several main entryways into the Long Island Innovation Park (LI-IPH) at Hauppauge. The $600,000 roadway enhancement project is aimed at improving egress and ingress to the Park where more than 55,000 workers travel to every day.
The project included the widening of both New Highway and Adams Avenue. New Highway has;)
been widened from one lane to two through lanes along with dual left turn lanes at Adams Avenue. It also includes sidewalk repairs and replacements, modern mast arm traffic signals, new street lighting, landscaping, and signage.
“This was a much-needed project in a heavily traveled area,” commented Terri Alessi-Miceli, President and CEO of HIA-LI, the Park’s steward and number-one advocate. “These improvements now offer safer roads for bicyclists, runners, and pedestrians in addition to motor vehicle traffic. Thank you to the Town of Smithtown for understanding how important sustainability is to the 1,350 companies and organizations that call the Long Island Innovation Park at Hauppauge home.”
The LI-IPH is the largest business park in the east, second nationally only to Silicon Valley. For more information, go to www.LI-IPH.org or call HIA-LI at 631-543-5355.
