Southbound Bronx River Parkway to be Closed Weeknights from 2-11 to 2-22

Westchester County has advised us that they will be working at night on the new Crane Road Bridge on the Bronx River Parkway and will close the southbound lanes of the parkway on weeknights from 8:00 pm to 6:00 am for two weeks. The southbound lanes of the BRP will be closed between Crane Road and Christie Place and a large crane will be placed on the parkway. Construction crews need to close the road and use the crane to install 25-foot high concrete forms for the north walls of the bridge next to the east side of the railroad tracks.

Here are the closures:

Southbound Exit 12 ramp from the Bronx River Parkway to Crane Road; --Motorists directed to Exit 10 – Harney Road

Northbound Exit 12 ramp from the Bronx River Parkway to Crane Road; --Motorists directed to Exit 10 – Harney Road

Westbound Crane Road between Chase Road and East Parkway; and Southbound East Parkway between Crane Road and Christie Place.

A Detour will be posted utilizing Chase Road and Christie Place.

Ramp closures on the Bronx River Parkway will begin at approximately 8:00 PM and end by 6:00 AM. Local street closures (Southbound East Parkway and Westbound Crane Road) will run from approximately 9:00 PM and conclude by 6:00 AM.

Weather permitting, the closures and detours are scheduled on the following nights:

• Wednesday February 13
• Thursday February 14
• Friday February 15
• Monday February 18
• Tuesday February 19

At all times northbound East Parkway, eastbound Crane Road and the northbound Exit 12 Entrance Ramp to the Bronx River Parkway will remain open.

In March, the same two-week night operation will be repeated to remove the concrete forms (including an additional five weeknights of closures and detours). Notification will be provided when this work is scheduled.

Installation of 12 prefabricated concrete beams over the Metro-North Railroad is projected for April/May. This will also require night work with limited closures and detours.
