From MTA press release: The new bridge has been built off site. On October 5-9, crews will decommission and remove the old bridge and move the new one into position and affix it into place.......... Full train service will resume at 2 a.m. on Tuesday, October 9.  As I understand it, there is no shoofly planned. The new bridge is placed were the old ones were. Here is a link to the MTA Capital Program 2015 - 2019, Long Island Railroad: <a href="http://www.buildingcongress.com/uploads/pdf/MTA-Long-Island-Rail-Road.pdf">www.buildingcongress.com/uploads/pdf/MTA-Long-Island-Rail-Road.pdf</a> On page 5 is a photo of a replacement bridge. For me it looks as if the stringers are so close that they can act as ties.This helps to minimize the height of the stringers. That would perhaps allow to keep the track alignment. The girders would most likely be higher than in the photo for the long span. Hopefully someone posts a photo of the completed brigde. Regards, Volker
