Yonkers, NY – Drivers in Westchester County are facing major delays today after an accident investigation forced the closure of the southbound lanes of the Bronx River Parkway near Strathmore Road in Yonkers.
According to the Westchester County Police Department, traffic heading southbound is being diverted off the parkway at several exits north of Strathmore Road. Motorists are advised to use alternate routes and expect extended travel times over the next several hours.
Police confirmed that the northbound lanes remain open and unaffected by the closure. No estimate has been given yet for when the southbound lanes will reopen.
The Bronx River Parkway is a major commuter route connecting Westchester communities with New York City. Any closure along this stretch often causes spillover congestion on parallel roads such as the Saw Mill Parkway and Central Avenue.
Drivers are encouraged to check real-time traffic apps and avoid the area until the investigation is complete.
