Nassau DPW to Fix Potholes, Grind Down Beacon Hill Road

Beacon Hill Road is about to get a lot smoother, according to the Nassau County Department of Public Works.

"DPW will be grinding the road this week and addressing affected area," Nassau DPW spokesman Michael Martino said. "The project should take about two to three days."

The effort to fix the area was initiated when a Patch reader asked when the "craters" would be fixed on Beacon Hill going southwest of Hillcrest/Summit Road.

Patch contacted the office of Nassau Legis. Wayne Wink, D-Roslyn, earlier this month. Wink's office then notified DPW of the situation.

Many potholes were quickly filled, but additional potholes and an uneven, bumpy driving surface remained. The lawmaker said he was dissatisfied with the work done by DPW, according to a legislative aide.

In a Patch video last Friday, cars could be seen crossing the center line, sometimes into oncoming traffic, to avoid the uneven stretch of Beacon Hill Road.

Patch then contacted the office of Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano on Tuesday.

"The County Executive believes our roads should be maintained to the highest level and asked the Department of Public Works to immediately review the site upon learning of this issue," replied Brian Nevin, a spokesman for Mangano.
