DUE to the construction of the new Conduit Boulevard in Nassau County, L. I., the New York Automobile Club announces that the Merrick Road between Lynbrook and Rockville Centre will be closed for about thirty days.

Eastbound traffic from New York City will be detoured south on Ocean Avenue to Village Avenue, then east on Merrick Road at Rockville Centre. The detour is all well paved, but there is one unprotected grade crossing and motorists are warned to drive with caution.

Westbound traffic will be detoured north on Central Avenue at Rockville Centre to Lakeview Avenue and south to Merrick Road at Lynbrook, a detour of about three miles over well paved road with one grade crossing which motorists should approach with caution.
