As reported, there are also some changes to traffic flows on Throggs Neck Bridge, while deck replacement work is being carried out, through fall of 2024.

 

In addition, New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) officials said there will be some changes to traffic flow on the Major Deegan Expressway (MDE). The department advises motorists of long-term, right travel lane closures on the southbound MDE (I-87) in the vicinity of Exit 3 (East 138^th Street/Madison Avenue Bridge) and on northbound MDE in the vicinity of Exit 3 (Grand Concourse/East 138^th Street) in the Bronx, on or about Tuesday, April 19, through approximately fall of 2024.

 

Variable Message Signs (VMS) will be in place to alert motorists of these closures. Motorists are also advised that inclement weather could cause the start of these closures to be rescheduled. The closures are needed to facilitate work on NYSDOT’s $47 million project to replace the 80-year-old bridge carrying East 138^th Street over the MDE.

 

Motorists are urged to slow down and drive responsibly in work zones. Fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone.  Convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver license.

 

NYSDOT further advises motorists of changes in traffic patterns on the southbound and northbound MDE (I-87) between Exit 5 (East 161^st Street/Macombs Dam Bridge) and Exit 7 (Cross Bronx Expressway/New Haven/Trenton) in The Bronx. DOT officials said these changes in traffic patterns and long-term closure are needed to facilitate work on NYSDOT’s $119 million MDE rehabilitation project, which is reconstructing the MDE in both directions between Exit 5 and Exit 7.

 

Southbound: All travel lanes will be shifted to the left of the work zone, on or about Thursday, June 2, at 5 a.m. and continuing through approximately the end of 2022.

 

Northbound: All travel lanes will provide access to northbound and southbound I-95 and northbound I-87. The right northbound travel lane will be shifted to Sedgwick Avenue, which will provide access to the I-95, local streets, and I-87 via local streets. This change in traffic pattern will take place on or about Tuesday, May 31 at 5 a.m. and continue through approximately the end of 2022.

 

Additionally, there will be a long-term closure of the Exit 6 ramp (East 153^rd Street/River Avenue) from the southbound MDE, on or about Thursday, June 2 at 3 p.m. and continuing through approximately late summer of 2022.

 

 

To access East 153^rd Street, River Avenue and Exterior Street during this closure, motorists should take Exit 5 (East 161^st Street/Macombs Dam Bridge) and follow the signed detour.

 

Inclement weather could cause the start of these changes in traffic patterns and long-term closure to be rescheduled.

 

Motorists are urged to slow down and drive responsibly in work zones. Fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone.  Convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver license.

 

Meanwhile, NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) has advised residents of a temporary, bee-line, bus stop relocation on Jerome Avenue which will be in effect 24/7 from June 13 until August 31, 2022.

 

We asked DDC to clarify the cross street of the impacted Jerome Avenue bus stop and a representative replied, saying, “Westchester Bee Bus line stop [on] Jerome Ave and East 233^rd Street was relocated south on Jerome Avenue. See Google map below.”

 

 

NYS DOT is also advising motorists of overnight closures of the Exit 12 Ramp (Henry Hudson Parkway South/Saw Mill Parkway North) from northbound Major Deegan Expressway (I-87) in the Bronx, on or about Monday, June 27, and continuing through Thursday, June 30, from 10 p.m. each night to 5 a.m. the following morning.

 

To access the southbound Henry Hudson Parkway and northbound Saw Mill Parkway during these closures, motorists should take Exit 13 (East 233rd Street) and follow the signed detour. Inclement weather could cause these closures to be rescheduled.
