Northbound Lane Closures Scheduled for Bronx River Parkway

Editor's Note: The following was submitted by the Westchester County Department of Public Works and Transportation.

Motorists are advised that there will be limited access to northbound Bronx River Parkway from the Sprain Brook Parkway in Yonkers to the Westchester County Center (Exit 22) in White Plains weekdays starting on Monday, Sept. 30 and continuing through Friday, Oct.  4 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.  

Northbound Parkway Closures:

• All northbound Bronx River Parkway traffic in Yonkers (six-lane section of the parkway) will not have access to the four-lane northbound Bronx River Parkway and will be detoured onto the Sprain Brook Parkway, to Central Park Avenue (NY 100) to White Plains.

• Local traffic will have access to the northbound Bronx River Parkway at the following locations (between the Sprain Brook Parkway and Harney Road): Paxton Avenue, Elm Street, Scarsdale Road, Thompson Street and Leewood Drive.

The northbound closures are necessary to continue the forming and pouring of concrete for the west abutment  as part of the Crane Road Bridge Replacement Project on the Bronx River Parkway.  

These day closures are in addition to the previously announced night parkway closures scheduled next week on Monday night Sept. 30, when the following parkway ramp and local street closures will be in effect from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. for the above limits:

• Southbound Fenimore Road entrance ramp to the southbound Bronx River Parkway will be closed.

• Southbound exit ramp to Crane Road Exit 12 will be closed.

• Westbound Crane Road, from Chase Road to East Parkway will be closed.

• Southbound East Parkway from Crane Road to Christie Place will be closed.

• During these hours, there will also be intermittent full stoppages of traffic on the southbound Bronx River Parkway and the northbound parkway entrance ramp at Crane Road for approximately 5-10 minutes while heavy equipment is moved.

Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes.  Numerous variable message signs are being used to alert motorists of the upcoming closures.

The project began last summer and will take three years to complete.
