MOUNT VERNON, NY — If you're going to be headed home late this week, you might want to plan an alternate route.
The New York State Department of Transportation says the ramp from the eastbound Cross County Parkway to Exit 9 (Hutchinson River Parkway southbound) in Mount Vernon will be closed overnight from late Monday night to early Tuesday morning, and again from late Wednesday night to early Thursday morning.
The good news is that the closures are not expected to affect the Tuesday or Thursday morning commutes. The ramp will be closed from 11 p.m. - 5 a.m. for guardrail repairs.
