A travel alert has been issued due to the closure of a portion of the Hutchinson River Parkway.

Last night marked the beginning of this temporary closure, which will continue tonight from 9 p.m. until 5 a.m.

The left southbound lane, spanning from Exit 14 in Harrison to Exit 13 in Scarsdale, will be inaccessible to traffic during this time. The closure is essential owing to ongoing construction work along the Hutchinson River Parkway.

Motorists are advised to plan alternative routes to avoid delays and traffic congestion caused by this closure. It's crucial to note that fines for speeding within work zones are now doubled. Drivers are strongly urged to abide by reduced speed limits, exercise caution, and drive responsibly.
