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.

- Southbound lanes beginning at midnight on Saturday, June 12, with lanes reopening at 6 a.m. on Sunday, June 13.

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