Taconic Parkway Lane Closures Start Monday

Beginning Aug. 8, through Wednesday, Aug. 31, lane closures are expected to occur overnight on both northbound and southbound sides of the Taconic State Parkway in the vicinity of the Saw Mill River Parkway interchange.

Work crews will be performing construction activities, weather permitting, state transportation officials said. Closures are anticipated to occur weeknights beginning at 7 p.m. and ending by 6 a.m.

One lane will remain open in each direction, but motorists should expect delays.

Just north of that interchange, the state is reconstructing two bridges on the Saw Mill River Parkway in Pleasantville, and the traffic and pedestrian conditions are changing markedly as of Aug. 6.

The new pattern will restrict the Saw Mill to a single lane in both directions between Exit 27 (Marble Avenue) and Exit 30 (Grant Street), while crews perform construction activities, weather permitting.

Please use caution when traveling through work zone areas and pay particular attention to all flaggers and traffic control devices.

Remember 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.
