Officials said that beginning on Friday night, commuters traveling on the Hudson Line will be affected as construction continues on the bridge. During the overnight operation, a sizable span of the old bridge’s steel span above the Metro-North tracks in Tarrytown will be removed by boat, prompting the service interruption.
During the operation, there will be no train service on the Hudson Line between Irvington and Tarrytown beginning at midnight on Friday and extending through Saturday morning. Buses will be provided for transport between the Yonkers and Tarrytown stations.
Commuters can expect an estimated additional 30 minute travel time between the two stations.

At Yonkers, customers will then be able to transfer to an express bus to the Tarrytown station. Once at Tarrytown, customers will take a train to Poughkeepsie that will make all of its stops.
