 The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) is advising motorists of lane closures on the Cross Bronx Expressway (I-95) between Noble Avenue and Boston Road in the vicinity of the Bronx River Parkway in the Bronx, on or about the weekend of April 23 through April 24.

 

A one-lane closure is scheduled for Saturday evening from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. A two-lane closure is scheduled for Saturday evening at 9 p.m. and continuing through Sunday morning at 9 a.m. Inclement weather could cause these closures to be rescheduled.

The lane closures are needed to facilitate work on NYSDOT’s project to perform localized concrete deck repairs on four bridge structures along the Cross Bronx Expressway.
