When Will It Be Over... Update

There's good news and bad news. Back on January 27, I posed the question, "When will the Popham Road Bridge construction be finished."  The good news is that it is scheduled to be finished in December, 2012.

The bad news is that construction is scheduled to begin this month on the Crane Bridge Road on the Bronx River Parkway. The project will take place for three years.

Ten months from now both the north and south bound exits in Scarsdale will be closed for two years. The really bad news is that seventeen parking spotson Depot Place by the Scarsdale Metro North station will become a staging area for the needed equipment. This will have a major impact on merchants and customers.

The project which will be funded by the County is projected to cost over 39 million dollars. The new bridge will have sidewalks and a ramp to give pedestrians access to the path along the Bronx River Parkway and the Metro North platforms.
