Bridge Work To Impact Traffic For Weeks On Route 1 In Mamaroneck: Here's Where

Traffic along a well-traveled main route in Westchester will be slowed for multiple weeks as crews complete the replacement of an over 100-year-old bridge. 

The Route 1 bridge over the Mamaroneck River will be widened as part of a two-week construction project.

Beginning on Friday, May 31, half of the roadway will close on the Route 1 bridge over the Mamaroneck River in the Village of Mamaroneck, officials announced. 

The closure, which will continue through Friday, June 14, will reduce traffic to a single lane and include the installation of concrete barriers along the middle of the road. 

The work performed during the closure will be part of the New York State Department of Transportation's effort to replace the stone arch bridge, which is more than a century old and is missing mortar between the stones. The bridge will be widened and a pedestrian walkway will be installed as part of the project. 

After the two-week lane reduction, construction crews will require two consecutive night shifts to mill and pave the project, which will include the whole bridge and the intersection with Mamaroneck Avenue. The Harbor Island Park entrance will also be affected.
