CITY OF RYE – The Central Avenue Bridge over the Metro-North train tracks owned by the MTA in the City of Rye will be closed beginning today for six months of repair work.
The repairs are necessary to ensure the bridge structure remains safe for pedestrians and vehicles. The bridge will remain open for pedestrians, but will be closed for vehicles. A detour route has been established by the MTA.
The transportation agency anticipates the bulk of the work will be performed during the day, but due to constraints of working around train schedules and track outages, some work may take place at night. They will try to limit noise as much as possible during the nighttime, but note that a federal rule requires any train passing a work zone must low their horn.
