The following local street closures for East Parkway and Crane Road will take place from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.:

  • East Parkway southbound between Crane Road and Christie Place will be closed. A detour will be posted using Chase Road and Christie Place. 

         The night work is necessary due to Metro-North Railroad requirements and to remove concrete forms for the north abutment stem walls adjacent to the eastern side of the railroad tracks. The ramp closures and the closure on East Parkway are due to the need to place a crane on the roadway to facilitate a portion of the work.
