Due to bridge and track maintenance on the Montauk branch of the Long Island Rail Road, trains will not run to or from the South Fork from very early Saturday morning, at 12:30 a.m., to Monday morning at 4.

The last eastbound trains to reach any station between Southampton and Montauk on Friday night will be the 10:53 p.m. departure from Jamaica and the 11:53 p.m. from Patchogue. The last westbound train will leave Montauk at 10:04 p.m. Friday. Service will resume with the 4:10 train from Speonk on Monday morning.

Three bus routes will replace service along the Montauk line: Bay Shore through Patchogue, Bellport through Southampton, and Bridgehampton through Montauk. As always the L.I.R.R. recommends confirming times on the TrainTime app or the M.T.A. website.
