Sprain Brook Parkway Lane Reduction Expected: DOT

TARRYTOWN, NY — The state Department of Transportation announced August 1 that motorists should be aware that due to bridge construction work, the Sprain Brook Parkway, between Route 100C and Interstate 287, in the Town of Greenburgh, will be reduced from three lanes in each direction to two lanes in each direction beginning around Monday, August 21. This lane reduction is expected to last until Monday, Nov. 20, 2017, when traffic will be returned to its typical pattern.

The DOT said significant traffic delays are anticipated. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes, avoid travel at peak hours when possible and consider alternate transit options.

Motorists are reminded that fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. In accordance with the Work Zone Safety Act of 2005, convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver license.
