A wide swath of the Bronx River Parkway will be closed in both directions Friday and Saturday.

The Bronx River—from the Sprain Brook Parkway in Yonkers to the Westchester County Center in White Plains—will be shuttered from 10:00 p.m. Friday to 8:00 p.m. Saturday.

The closures are a result of the Crane Road Bridge Replacement Project on the Bronx River Parkway.

“The project began last summer and will take three years to complete,” county officials told Patch.
