Travel Alert: Hutch Weekend Closure Starts At Midnight

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY — There will be a New York State Department of Transportation closure on the Hutchinson River Parkway this weekend.

The Hutch will be closed in both directions from I-95 to the Cross County Parkway, beginning at 12 a.m. Saturday morning and continuing through to Monday at 5 a.m. to accommodate a bridge replacement project at Lincoln Avenue in Mount Vernon.

Traffic will be detoured and this may affect local surface roads. Officials are warning drivers to expect delays even if they are not traveling on the parkway.

Motorists should use the following marked 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).

The NYSDOT is reminding drivers to 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.
