Advisory from the NYSDOT – New Traffic pattern expected along Saw Mill River Parkway

The New York State Department of Transportation is advising Westchester County motorists to expect a new traffic pattern along the Saw Mill River Parkway northbound and southbound between Exit 26 (Sprain Brook Parkway) and Exit 30 (Grant Street) in the Town of Mount Pleasant, beginning the week of Monday, November 1, as part of a bridge replacement and road realignment project, weather permitting.

One lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction at all times. Exit 28 (Bedford Road) on the Saw Mill River Parkway northbound will be closed for the duration of the new traffic pattern. Motorists should expect delays and utilize the posted detour for Exit 30 (Grant Street).

The new traffic pattern is necessary to elevate the Saw Mill River Parkway and replace the two bridges that carry the Saw Mill River Parkway over the Saw Mill River as part of an ongoing bridge replacement and rehabilitation project in Lower Westchester (https://lowerwestchesterbridges.com/).

Motorists are urged to slow down and drive responsibly in work zones. Fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone.  Convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver license.
