Cross County Parkway Ramp Closure Expected In Westchester

MOUNT VERNON, NY — The New York State Department of Transportation is advising Westchester County motorists to expect the eastbound Cross County Parkway ramp to Exit 9 (southbound Hutchinson River Parkway) in the city of Mount Vernon to close between 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday to facilitate guide rail repairs.

Motorists should expect delays and follow the posted detour utilizing Exit 10 (Eastchester Road).

The DOT said motorists should remember to "Move Over" a lane, if safely possible, or slow down significantly whenever encountering roadside vehicles displaying red, white, blue, amber or green lights, including maintenance and construction vehicles in work zones.

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's license.
