Bronx River Parkway Daytime Closures Scheduled for Aug. 17-21

Portions of the northbound Bronx River Parkway will be closed between the Sprain Brook Parkway in Yonkers and the Westchester County Center in White Plains starting on Monday, Aug. 17, and continuing daily through Friday, Aug. 21, the county Department of Public Works and Transportation announced.

Motorists can expect delays through the area and are advised to seek alternate routes. Numerous variable message signs will be used to alert motorists of the upcoming closures.

The closures will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day, and:

• There will be no access from the six lane portion of the northbound Bronx River Parkway to the four lane portion of the northbound Bronx River Parkway at the Sprain Brook Parkway.
• All traffic will be diverted onto the Sprain Brook Parkway and then Central Park Avenue (NY 100) to White Plains.
• The northbound Bronx River Parkway will be accessible to local traffic at the following locations (between the Sprain Brook Parkway and Harney Road) at all times:
• Entrances from Paxton Ave, Elm Street, Scarsdale Road, Thompson Street and Leewood Drive will be open.
• All northbound traffic will be diverted at Harney Road to Scarsdale Avenue and East Parkway, re-entering the northbound parkway at Crane Road.
• The northbound Bronx River Parkway will be open to traffic at Crane Road and all points north.

“These daily midday closures are necessary to install permanent median islands, median guiderail and clean drainage structures,” said department officials in a statement. “In addition, the Bronx River Parkway southbound Exit 12 Crane Road closure will be extended to August 28, when it is estimated that substantial completion of this project will be achieved.”
