For now, clear ride into Shinnecock Hills
Early Monday, signs along Route 27 east of Shinnecock Hills Golf Club warned drivers to expect delays associated with the U.S. Open, whose first practice round begins Monday morning.
Police cars were seen lined up along the road.
Traffic jams — which stretched 10 miles on the first day of the 2018 U.S. Open practice round in Shinnecock — had not begun.
Traveling to the golf course from the east posed no major problems; there was some congestion near the course entrance, but no stoppages.
The USGA is encouraging fans to take the Long Island Rail Road or use shuttle buses from park-and-ride lots.
