Tuesday Scarsdale Traffic Alert

Motorists are advised that there will be limited access to northbound Bronx River Parkway from the Sprain Brook Parkway in Yonkers to the Westchester County Center (Exit 22) in White Plains weekdays starting on Tuesday, September 17 and continuing through Friday, September 20 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. 

Northbound Parkway Closures:

·         All northbound Bronx River Parkway traffic in Yonkers (six lane section of the parkway) will not have access to the four lane northbound Bronx River Parkway and will be detoured onto the Sprain Brook Parkway, to Central Park Avenue (NY 100) to White Plains.

·         Local traffic will have access to the northbound Bronx River Parkway at the following locations (between the Sprain Brook Parkway and Harney Road): Paxton Avenue, Elm Street,Scarsdale Road, Thompson Street and Leewood Drive.

·         Local northbound parkway traffic will be detoured at Harney Road to Scarsdale Avenue and East Parkway and re-entering the northbound parkway at Crane Road.  

·         Northbound parkway will be open to traffic at Crane Road and all points north.

The southbound parkway will be open.  The northbound closures are necessary to facilitate the forming and pouring of concrete for the west abutment as part of the Crane Road Bridge Replacement Project on the Bronx River Parkway. 

Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes.  Numerous variable message signs are being used to alert motorists of the upcoming closures.

The project began in the summer of 2012 and will take three years to complete.
