Important Notice
About Main St. and I-287
9/16/2009
On Main street- the
contractors are back on the job
The drainage problems
raised by White Plains have been solved. The contractors are
back on the job. Temporary asphalt paving with temporary curbing has
been installed to direct the water down toward the river and keep it
out of the Con Ed Substation and adjoining properties. The
additional catch basins and other drainage structures are currently
on order and will be installed as soon as they arrive.
9/30/09
The
Contractor is mobilizing to the site on Thursday, October 1, in
preparation of drainage installation. Contract materials and
redesigned manhole structures are confirmed for delivery on Friday,
October 2. Work will start immediately.
PROGRESS REPORT ON I-287 REHAB
9/23/09
The good
news:
·
All bridges are
expected to be completed and re-opened in November. All the
temporary roadways will be removed, and traffic can again flow
freely. There will still be some work on 287 itself, but the local
roadways leading into White Plains will be clear. Commuters,
shoppers and all others can rejoice.
·
The schedule also
calls for the overpass from the foot of Columbus Avenue to
Westchester Avenue to be re-built, and re-opened by December, ending
the traffic bottleneck infuriating drivers on Locust and White
Plains Avenues.
·
In addition, the
broken fencing along Westchester Avenue will be replaced with an
8-foot stockade fence, in the same position as the present fencing.
Updated
information::
The next phase of the rehab of I-287 involves the replacement of the
White Plains Avenue bridge, and the re-construction of the entrance
onto I-287 from Bloomingdale Road, and of Exit 8 going east. Both of
these roadways will now go under the White Plains Avenue
bridge, thus greatly reducing traffic at both the intersections of
Westchester Avenue and White Plains Avenue. Eventually the Anderson
Hill Road overpass will be replaced, but not until all work on the
White Plains Avenue bridge is completed.
