Lane Closures On Southbound 684 Next Week

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY — Nightly single and double lane closures are expected for the southbound side of Interstate 684 between Exit 8 and Exit 4, Monday through Aug. 30.

Crews will perform maintenance activities, weather permitting. Single lane closures are expected to begin at 6 p.m. with double lane closures expected to begin at 10 p.m. All lane closures are anticipated to end by 3 a.m. nightly.

Anticipate delays between the exit for Hardscrabble Road and the route 172 exit. Seek alternate routes if possible.

Use caution when traveling through the work zone area and pay particular attention to flaggers and all traffic control devices, including signs.

Remember that fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. In accordance with the Work Zone Safety Act of 2005, convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver license.

Recently, NYSDOT and the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee unveiled a new public service announcement and social media campaign focused on the importance of respecting flagging personnel. This year’s work zone safety campaign, “Flaggers have families too,” is designed to remind motorists that flagging personnel are not attempting to disrupt traffic – they are simply doing their jobs and want to get home safely at the end of each work day. The PSA can be viewed here and here.
