Meeting March 7 on Saw Mill Parkway Project

The New York State Department of Transportation will hold a Public Information Meeting March 7 in Pleasantville to talk about a construction project on the Saw Mill River Parkway that will affect traffic from April through August.

The purpose of the meeting is to provide the public with details regarding the reconstruction of two bridges on the parkway, DOT officials said.

The structures to be replaced are located under historic arch bridges at Bedford Road and at Pleasantville Road, both over the Saw Mill River. The arch bridges will not be affected by the reconstruction.

• WHAT: Public Information Meeting
• WHERE: Village Hall Board Room, 80 Wheeler Avenue, 2nd Floor, Pleasantville, NY 10570
• WHEN: 7p.m. – 8:30 p.m. March 7

Construction will entail closures from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., Sundays through Thursdays, beginning around April 3, and are expected to end on July 1 (where traffic will be detoured onto the Grant Street/Marble Avenue corridor).

Information regarding the detour will be provided at the meeting.

Then a 21-day, consecutive closure, where traffic on the parkway will be reduced to one lane in each direction --shifting into the two northbound lanes -- is also anticipated and is planned to begin July 10 and end on Aug. 26.

Questions from the public regarding the project can be directed to the project field office at 914-666-2702.
