The northbound Hutchinson River Parkway ramp at Exit 13A in Mamaroneck was closed the morning of Friday, March 6, after a fallen tree brought down debris and downed wires on Mamaroneck Avenue.
According to New York State Department of Transportation alerts, the tree fell on Mamaroneck Avenue at around 2:43 a.m. Friday, most likely due to heavy rainfall and soil saturation.
Mamaroneck Avenue is closed between Union and Purdy Avenues near the border of White Plains and Harrison as of 10 a.m.
The northbound Hutchinson River Parkway ramp at Exit 13A/B at Mamaroneck Avenue has also been closed, causing some significant traffic delays in the area. However, Westchester County Police said only the northbound ramp is closed and all northbound lanes of the Hutchinson River Parkway remain open.
Con Edison utility crews are on the scene to clean up the debris and make repairs. No outages were noted on the utility service’s outage map in the area as of 10 a.m.
Westchester County Police said the road is likely to reopen around 1 p.m.
