NEW ROCHELLE, NY (June 6, 2023) — Thruway drone pilots recently flew high above the North Avenue bridge project over Interstate 95 in New Rochelle to inspect the project work zone and nearby bedrock.
This project will replace the North Avenue bridge in the city of New Rochelle. The project began in January 2023 and is anticipated to be substantially completed in Fall 2025.
The existing North Avenue bridge, which has been in service since 1958 and has a lower vertical clearance, has a history of impact damage as well as continued deterioration due to age, wear, and harsh winter conditions. This replacement project is meant to address structural and operational needs, along with enhancing safety and improving mobility for motorists as well as pedestrians.
The project is to be completed in three stages to maintain access to the heart of the city. Stage 1 will consist of vehicles relocated to the center of the existing bridge so its outermost components can be removed. It will also include the construction of new substructures, erection of steel and placement of concrete decks. Stage 2 will move vehicles to the new outer bridge sections so the remainder of the old bridge can be removed and rebuilt. Stage 3 will move vehicles to the center of the new bridge so sidewalks, paving and other work can be completed.
