Hutch To Be Closed Northbound Over The Weekend

From the NY Department of Transportation: As part of the ongoing bridge replacement project, the northbound lanes of Hutchinson River Parkway (HRP), between Exit 6 (Interstate 95) and Exit 15 (Cross County Parkway), are expected to be closed beginning on Friday. The closures will extend through the weekend, concluding on Monday at 5 a.m.

Crews will perform construction activities, weather permitting.

Signed detours will be in place for northbound traffic. Northbound traffic on the Parkway will be detoured at the I-95 interchange.

Motorists are advised to follow the posted detours, anticipate delays and plan travel accordingly.

Information related to the project can be found online at www.East3rdStreetBridge.com or www.dot.ny.gov/westchesterbridges.

Use caution when traveling through the work zone area and pay attention to flaggers and all traffic control devices, including signs.

Remember, fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. In accordance with the Work Zone Safety Act of 2005, convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver license.

Recently, NYSDOT and the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee unveiled a public service announcement and social media campaign focused on the importance of respecting flagging personnel. This year’s work zone safety campaign, “Flaggers have families too,” is designed to remind motorists that flagging personnel are not attempting to disrupt traffic – they are simply doing their jobs and want to get home safely at the end of each work day.
