White Plains CitizeNetReporter - Lane Switch on North Broadway at Cross Westchester

WPCNR BUMPER TO BUMPER. May 13, 2008: A Traffic Switch will be implemented tonight, Tuesday, May 13th on the North Broadway / Route #22 Bridge, beginning at 8:00 p.m. shifting both lanes of Southbound traffic to the right by one lane-width, and both lanes of Northbound traffic to the west side of the Bridge.

This traffic switch is being implemented to facilitate the onset of the first stage of demolition/reconstruction of this span. With operations taking place during both day and night- time shifts, this bridge will be replaced in two stages, and is expected to be completed by the end of 2009.* There will be no left turn permitted northbound at Cemetery Road. Southbound motorists may make a left onto I-287 Eastbound, however.

This traffic switch will eliminate the southbound left turning lane located at the south end of the
bridge. Southbound motorists wishing to turn left onto the Interchange 6 eastbound I-287
entrance ramp, are asked to proceed with caution, and to be aware of opposing traffic flows.

Similarly, the northbound right turning lane situated at the north end of the bridge will be
eliminated although northbound motorists will still be able to make that right turn onto Orchard
Street.

In addition, there will be no left turn permitted for Northbound motorists wishing to turn left from
the bridge onto Cemetery Road.

It is the intent of the Project to maintain two lanes of traffic in each direction during construction,
except when periodic lane closures and/or traffic stoppages are necessary to facilitate various
operations geared toward advancing this reconstruction effort.

The lanes will be restored when the bridge reconstruction is completed.
