WHITE PLAINS – The Thruway Authority has announced the start of a $19.9 million infrastructure improvement project on the New England Thruway – I-95 – in Westchester County, which will increase the vertical clearance of three bridges and resurface a portion of the highway.
Due to the sequencing of the work, crews will begin work on the Old White Plains Road and Boston Post Road bridges first and the West Street bridge closure will be determined at a later time.
The bridges are being raised to a 14-foot, six-inch vertical clearance that meets current standards. The current height is 14-feet, three-inches.
The bridges are scheduled to reopen this fall.
Additional work includes pavement resurfacing and other safety improvements on I-95. Work is expected to be completed on the entire project in the fall of 2022.
