LIE this afternoon

Anyone know what's going on with the LIE around exit 64? Around 3pm a day last week it was closed and I was stuck along with everyone else! Today, same time frame it looked backed up so I got off at 65 ( I was headed west ) and still had traffic issues.
I just want to know if I should go another way.
TIA

Another accident

Woman Critically Hurt in Crash on LIE
A 30-year-old woman was critically injured in a single-car crash on the Long Island Expressway in Farmingville Monday afternoon, police said.

According to police, Winterjane Preston, of Islandia, was driving her 2011 Hyundai west on the LIE when she apparently lost control of her vehicle and struck a guardrail at about 12:45 p.m.

The vehicle then went off the roadway and onto the north shoulder at Exit 62–Nicolls Road, police said.


Preston, who was the sole occupant of the car, was transported by Ronkonkoma Fire Department ambulance to Stony Brook University Hospital, where she is being treated for a head injury, police said.

The Hyundai was impounded for a safety check and the investigation is continuing.
