The railroad is reducing overnight Hudson Line train service between 9 p.m. and 10 a.m. on three Friday nights/Saturday mornings beginning this weekend as workers install 700-ton girder assemblies over the tracks at Tarrytown.
“Metro-North has coordinated with the New NY Bridge team to minimize the impact on Hudson Line train service while work is underway by the contractor,” said Metro-North President Joseph Giulietti. “This coordination will ensure that no passenger trains are beneath the work site while the girder assemblies are moving overhead. This means fewer trains than normal will operate during three 13-hour construction periods. Metro-North will adjust its schedule slightly on those Friday nights to accommodate this work and will communicate schedule information to our customers. We greatly appreciate that the New NY Bridge team is working with Metro-North and has scheduled their work to minimize service impacts for our customers.”
