Yonkers Avenue not reopening today

Tuckahoe officials had planned to reopen the closed section of Yonkers Avenue starting today until the Army Corps of Engineers construction project at that location gets underway. However, in the wake of Irene, the village has decided not to reopen the road at this time.

Below is a statement on the matter from the village:

“In light of recent road damages throughout the region and subsequent engineering advice from the Army Corps of Engineers, it has been recommended that Yonkers Avenue remain closed to vehicular traffic until such time that lateral support is provided by the construction of the planned project. Project updates will be posted.”
