POUGHKEEPSIE – The New York State Bridge Authority (NYSBA) is advising motorists of overnight shoulder and lane closures of one lane on the southbound side of U.S. Route 9 during the week starting on Monday. The overnight closure is connected to roadwork on the east approach of the Mid-Hudson Bridge.
As part of the ongoing east approach rehabilitation project at the bridge, deck demolition work will continue on portions that cross over U.S. Route 9. Work that would require a lane closure is scheduled to take place from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., starting the evening of May 4 through the night of May 8.
Out of an abundance of caution, one shoulder and lane on Route 9 will be closed between Main Street and Laurel Street to allow for work to take place on the deck above. Closures will happen on the right lane of Route 9 at the beginning of the week. As work progresses on the deck above, the closure will shift to the left lane of Route 9 later in the week.
Lane configurations on the bridge and its east (Poughkeepsie) approach will remain the same during this stage of the project.
Motorists are advised to remain alert, follow posted signage, and reduce speed when traveling through the work zones to help ensure the safety of both workers and fellow drivers.
