The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) announced that the parkway will be closed between exit 6 (I-95 North/New Haven) in Pelham and exit 15 (Cross County Parkway/George Washington Bridge) in New Rochelle during the next two weeks.

According to the NYSDOT, closures, weather permitting are planned for:

North and southbound lanes beginning at midnight on Saturday, June 5, with lanes reopening at 5 a.m. on Monday, June 7;
Southbound lanes beginning at midnight on Saturday, June 12, with lanes reopening at 6 a.m. on Sunday, June 13.

The closures are required to help facilitate the demolition of the existing bridge structure in the area and replace a sewer pipe at exit 12 (East Lincoln Ave/Mount Vernon/Pelham) as part of an ongoing bridge replacement and rehabilitation project in Westchester.

Officials said the following detours will be posted for drivers:

Motorists accessing the Hutchinson River Parkway northbound will be detoured to I-95;
Motorists accessing the Hutchinson River Parkway southbound will be detoured to the Cross County Parkway;
