LIE delays caused by missing manhole cover

A missing manhole cover that caused early morning delays Wednesday on the eastbound Long Island Expressway in Jericho has been replaced, Nassau County police and transportation officials said.

Meanwhile, a disabled truck that also forced the closure of the exit ramp at Exit 41, Route 106-Route 107, in Jericho, has been moved as well -- and that ramp has been reopened.

Police said it was not clear if the two incidents were related.

Police said the incidents occurred just after 7 a.m.
