New Bronx River Parkway Closures Today

There will be new road closures on the Bronx River Parkway beginning tonight. The closures will happen at exit 12, as well as on the southbound entrance ramp from Fenimore Road to the southbound parkway. The closure will happen tonight at 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. The same closure will also happen on Wednesday and Thursday.

"These closures are in addition to previously announced daytime northbound closures on the parkway from the Sprain Brook Parkway in Yonkers to the Westchester County Center in White Plains currently underway weekdays until Friday, July 19 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m," said Westchester County Deputy Communications Director Donna Greene.

Here are the specific closures that will be happening:

·         Southbound Fenimore Road entrance ramp to the southbound    parkway will be closed.

·         Southbound exit ramp to Crane Road Exit 12 will be closed.

·         Crane Road westbound from Chase Road to East parkway will be closed. 

·         East Parkway southbound from Crane Road to Christie Place will be closed.  For the local street closures, a detour will be posted using Chase Road and Christie Place.

"These closures are necessary for preparation work to install 12 precast box beams over the Metro-North Harlem Line Railroad at the parkway’s Crane Road Bridge vicinity as part of the Crane Road Bridge Replacement Project on the Bronx River Parkway," said Greene.

The Crane Road Bridge construction project started last summer. Officials say it will take three years to complete.
