WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY — If you're not one of the thousands who will be calling out of work on "Super Sick Monday" following the big game, you might want to get an early start, because the planned roadwork isn't going to help with the headache this week.

The NYS Department of Transportation said there will be lane closures scheduled along the Hutchinson River Parkway, from Monday, Feb. 14 to Friday, Feb. 18. Construction work will take place daily, weather-permitting.
