Nov. 27, 2019: Have you noticed the work underway on the Midland Avenue Bridge, which is near the intersection of Midland Avenue and Parkway Road? You will see temporary signage and barriers to help cars navigate this area.
So what's going on here and how long with it last?
According to Bronxville Village Administrator, Jim Palmer, the Midland Avenue Bridge is being repaired and the work involves "new decking, joint replacement, and repairs to a pier underneath the bridge." Con Ed is also installing a new gas line in the bridge. The current gas line has to be relocated while the new one is installed and other bridgework is performed. The Arben Group is the contractor performing the work under the oversight of the Westchester County traffic engineers and WSP Consulting Engineers.
Kevin Roseman, the Westchester County traffic engineer in charge, reports that the Midland Avenue Bridge is part of a larger project that includes rehabilitating two bridges and the Bronx River Parkway from the Cross County Parkway to Scarsdale Road. The total project is expected to cost $18 million and is funded by Westchester County.
According to Roseman, the work on the Midland Avenue Bridge is expected to continue "well into 2020."
