Hutchinson Parkway To Be Closed Dec. 11-13 For Bridge Work

The Hutchinson River Parkway will be closed in both directions from Exit 4A onto I-95 north to Exit 8 onto the Cross County Parkway/George Washington Bridge.

The closure, which extends through Pelham, Mount Vernon and New Rochelle, will take place from 12 a.m. Dec. 11 to 5 a.m. Dec. 13, weather permitting, the New York State Department of Transportation advised.

During the closure, crews will do steel and drainage work for the Lincoln Avenue bridge project over the Hutchinson River Parkway at Exit 6 (East Lincoln Ave/Mount Vernon/Pelham) as part of an ongoing bridge replacement and rehabilitation project in Lower Westchester.

Motorists should use the following signed detours:

• Motorists accessing the Hutchinson River Parkway northbound will be detoured to I-95
• Motorists accessing the Hutchinson River Parkway southbound will be detoured to the Cross County Parkway
• Motorists traveling east on the Cross County Parkway will be directed to continue east at Exit 9 (Hutchinson River Parkway South/Whitestone Bridge) and Exit 10 (New Rochelle Road/Eastchester)

Anticipate delays and plan accordingly.

Also — slow down and drive responsibly in work zones. Remember, fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. Convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of your drivers license.
