The sidewalk in front of 100 East Hartsdale Ave. in Greenburgh is currently closed to pedestrian traffic as the result of a sewer break, Greenburgh Police announced on Tuesday, May 28 around 12:30 p.m. 

As the closure continues, pedestrians should instead cross to the northern side of the road using the crosswalk at Lewis Avenue and return to the south side by using the flashing beacon crosswalk at Rockledge Road. 

A temporary pipe was installed at the break scene over Memorial Day weekend, according to Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner, who called the situation a "major repair job." 

Pedestrians and motorists are asked to be cautious in the area. Feiner said the closure is expected to cause traffic delays for at least a week.
