Hutchinson River Parkway Closing Oct. 19-22 In Pelham

PELHAM NY — As part of the ongoing bridge replacement project, the Hutchinson River Parkway southbound between Exit 6 and Exit 15 is expected to be closed beginning at 11 p.m. Friday and concluding at 5 a.m. Monday. The northbound side of the HRP will remain open.

Crews will perform construction activities, weather permitting, between I-95 and the Cross County Parkway.

A signed detour will be in place for southbound traffic, which will divert traffic to the Cross County Parkway and the Bronx River Parkway for points south. All on ramps to the HRP south of the construction site (at the East 3rd Street overpass) will be accessible for southbound traffic.

Follow the posted detour, 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 that 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.

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.
