The northeast ramp of the "H-Bridge" in Tarrytown, which carries Railroad Avenue over Metro-North tracks, is closed to traffic, village officials announced on Monday, July 15.
The emergency closure was prompted by a failed inspection of the northeast portion of the bridge. The bridge's span must now be reduced to one direction to avoid the compromised section, officials said.
As the closure continues, traffic can only proceed north over the bridge heading west toward the Hudson River through the Depot Plaza intersection. Meanwhile, all eastbound traffic will need to exit the waterfront through Beekman Avenue and Sleepy Hollow.
Officials are now working to complete the repair as soon as possible. Two-way traffic on the bridge is expected to be restored by 11 p.m. on Monday, officials announced.
