Saw Mill River Parkway Collapse Closes Lanes Westchester County

A sinkhole caused a collapse on the Saw Mill River Parkway in Westchester County, New York, leading to the closure of southbound lanes between Lawrence Street in Dobbs Ferry and Farragut Avenue in Hastings-on-Hudson, with northbound lanes also closed at Farragut Avenue as a precaution. The closure began Sunday evening, September 7, and traffic is being rerouted to Saw Mill River Road 9A. Authorities are urging drivers to avoid the area and expect significant delays, with no timeline announced for reopening. The closure affects both directions of the parkway, and officials warn of potential traffic congestion and advise monitoring updates. The incident is attributed to a defect in the pavement, according to Westchester County police. This remains a developing situation as crews work to address the roadway collapse.
