Traffic is expected to be heavy in both New Rochelle and Rye today due to road work.

North Avenue over I-95 in the city of New Rochelle will be reduced to one lane today. The lane closures will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., to facilitate construction of the new bridge. New Rochelle police will alternate directions of traffic through the work zone. Police are urging motorist to find a different route.
