Scarsdale's Crane Road Bridge Construction Beginning By June 1

The following is an announcement from the Village Manager's Office:

Contractors for the County of Westchester are planning to commence the construction and replacement of the over the Metro North Railroad and Bronx River located alongside the Bronx River Parkway in the vicinity of Crane Road, by June 1. The $40M construction project will be completed in four stages over a 34 month period. 

In order to construct the project as designed, the County acquired five parcels from the Village, both permanently and temporarily. One of the parcels includes the temporary use by the contractor of a portion of the Merchant’s Parking Lot on East Parkway for the staging of construction equipment and materials. The Village Board granted a temporary easement agreement to the County for this purpose. As a result, the Village will have roughly half the use of the Merchant’s Parking Lot starting May 31 until construction completion.

A reduced number of Merchant Lot parking permits will be sold on a lottery basis for the 2012-13 Parking Permit year covering July 1, 2012 – June 30, 2013. Permit applications for the lottery will be accepted by the Village Clerk between June 1, 2012 and June 20, 2012.

Information and applications on these permits are available on the Village’s website at www.scarsdale.com under Village Clerk. Applications must be completed in full and include copies of a valid driver’s license and vehicle registration.

Village merchants are also eligible for Scarsdale Avenue Meter permits and Freightway Garage Resident permits.
