Popham Road Bridge Closure Rescheduled to Sunday

Editor's Note: What follows is user-generated news. If you would like to post your news to Patch, email kirstin.fawcett@patch.com for detailed instructions on how to do so. The following is a press release from the Village of Scarsdale.

The Village of Scarsdale has scheduled a complete closure of the Popham Road Bridge to vehicular traffic from 8 a.m. on Sunday to 5 a.m. on Monday. Pedestrian access over the bridge will be maintained during this period.

The bridge will be closed so the contractor can pour the concrete deck on the north side which will require time to cure. A traffic detour has been established for the Bridge closure and we ask motorists to please follow the detour signs to avoid expected traffic delays.

Drivers familiar with the area are encouraged to use alternate routes and avoid the Popham Road, Garth Road, Harney Road, and Scarsdale Avenue areas during the Bridge closure period.

Efforts to minimize motorist delays have been coordinated by the Village with all contiguous municipalities and involved agencies. Police personnel will be on site to assist with traffic control. Additional advisories will be issued in the event that the closure schedule changes.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and patience during this temporary inconvenience.
