Thruway Authority Announces the Cancellation of the Exit 14 Ramp Closure on I-95 (New England Thruway)

ALBANY, NY (07/22/2008; 1520)(readMedia)-- The New York State Thruway Authority announced that the overnight closure of the I-95 southbound Exit 14 ramp to the southbound Hutchinson River Parkway, scheduled for tonight and tomorrow nights, July 22 and 23, has been canceled due to inclement weather and scheduling issues. It will be rescheduled in the near future.

The overall repaving project which spans I-95 from Exit 17 (Larchmont) to Exit 8 (Orchard Beach, City Island) includes shoulder repaving, repairs to the pavement and repairs to the bridges at Amtrak/Erskine Place, Eastchester Creek, Hutchinson River Parkway and Reynolds Lane Underpass.

ECCO III Enterprises, Inc., of Yonkers, New York was awarded the $28.2 million contract in August 2006. The overall repaving project is scheduled for completion in November 2008.

The Authority appreciates motorists' patience and understanding while these necessary repairs take place.
