White Plains drivers face months-long traffic change at library parking garage

That's right. Starting today, drivers parked here at the White Plains Library Garage will have to actually exit a new way temporarily as construction continues. So city officials say crews will repair the slabs around the ramps connecting the upper and lower levels to the street. It's part of the $2.2 million project that was authorized almost one year ago for structural repairs in the garage. That includes column repairs and other essential rehabilitation work. The work will cover three locations within the library's lot and is expected to take four to six months to complete. During that time, all vehicles will have to exit through the lower level exit tunnel onto the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Main Street. The exit onto Martin Avenue right here will be be completely unavailable during construction. However, Drivers can still enter the garage from Martin Avenue and use both the upper and lower level ramps. Temporary signs will also be posted throughout the garage to guide drivers to the new exit. The construction marks yet another parking change for drivers here in White Plains after the temporary closures of the garage on Hale Avenue, the Lexington Grove West Garage, and the Waller Maple Lot that we reported just a few weeks ago So if you do plan on parking here at the White Plains Library Garage specifically, So make sure you slow down to navigate that new route You watch the signs and you watch out for any crews as they continue on with the project.
