Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro and Councilman Neil Foley have announced the completion of the resurfacing project on Hospital Road in East Patchogue, New York. The work was completed overnight to minimize disruptions for motorists and emergency vehicles accessing NYU Langone Hospital - Suffolk.
