Flood Control Work Will Restrict Saw Mill Parkway To 1 Lane

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY — A project to mitigate Saw Mill Parkway flooding in central Westchester will begin Nov. 1 in Mount Pleasant necessitating lane closures and detours.

A 1.3-mile stretch of roadway will be constructed to divert water from the road and prevent settling. Also, new bridges on the parkway over the Saw Mill River will be elevated to meet 100-year flood projections.

During construction, lane closures will be required: Northbound and southbound between Exit 26 (Sprain Brook Parkway) and Exit 30 (Grant Street), traffic will be down to one lane in each direction at all times.

Exit 28 (Bedford Road) on the Saw Mill River Parkway northbound will be closed for the duration.

Expect delays and use the posted detours.

The work is part of an ongoing bridge replacement and rehabilitation project.

Slow down and drive responsibly in work zones. Fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone, plus convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of your drivers license.
