East Lincoln Avenue Bridge Closes Jan. 25 For Construction

MOUNT VERNON, NY — The East Lincoln Avenue Bridge over the Hutchinson River and the Hutchinson River Parkway at Exit 12 in Mount Vernon and Pelham is expected to close in both directions beginning Jan. 25 and lasting 11 months.

Traffic will be rerouted to a temporary bridge just south of the existing bridge, where one lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained. Traffic lights will enable one direction of traffic to cross the temporary bridge at a time.

Plan accordingly.

The bridge closure is necessary while the old East Lincoln Avenue Bridge is being replaced. It is part of an ongoing bridge replacement and rehabilitation project in Lower Westchester. The culvert that carries northbound traffic off of the Hutchinson River Parkway and over the Hutchinson River will also be replaced along with traffic signals on the East Lincoln Avenue Bridge.

Remember, 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.
