Major, Multi-Year Interstate 95 Reconstruction in NY Along the Mile Closest to CT
|
The so-called “last mile” of Interstate 95 in Westchester County nearest to Connecticut will undergo a massive “reconstruction” including road-widening, bridge replacements and other changes that can slow traffic into 2021, New York state officials have announced. The project, which officially started this week, is expected to result in more than just lane closures, according to a news release from the New York State Thruway Authority. Expect more than just lane closures, according to the announcement: “During construction, motorists should expect traffic shifts, detours and temporary traffic stops. Motorists are urged to be alert and follow the posted work zone speed limits.” The budget for the entire project is $135 million.
