Interstate 84 to be Closed Two Weekends at NY/CT Border for Bridge Work Project

Use Alternative Routes Near NY/CT Border Beginning Sept 21 and 22.

The New York State Department of Transportation is replacing two bridges carrying Interstate 84 eastbound and westbound over Dingle Ridge Road in the Town of Southeast, Putnam County. The work is being accelerated to minimize traffic impacts, but will require the interstate to be closed in that area during two weekends.

Traffic delays are anticipated. Please use alternate routes and avoid traveling through this area during construction.

The weekend of Sept. 21 and 22, I-84 westbound will be closed at Exit 1 in CT, and directed back onto I-84 at Exit 20 in the Town of Southeast, NY.

Please note that I-84 Eastbound will also require a closure.  Currently this is scheduled to occur on the weekend of October 19-20 (this is a change from the postcards and letters mailed last week). Traffic will be detoured onto Route 6 in NY and returned to I-84 at Exit 1 in the Town of Danbury, CT.

Closures will begin 5 PM Saturday and last through Sunday.
