Due to the planned replacement of the North Avenue Bridge and to improve traffic circulation in the downtown, Station Plaza North will be changed to a one way eastbound street starting Monday, Aug. 22. With access to the Metro-North Train Station and Transit Center garage through Memorial Highway, motorists coming from the north and south are urged to begin using alternate routes now in advance of the switch:

  • From the north: From North Avenue, take Lincoln, Lockwood, or Burling Lane to Memorial Highway and enter Station Plaza North by making a left just after the I-95 overpass.
  • From the south: Take Main Street to Memorial Highway and make the first left to loop around to enter Station Plaza North by making a left just after the I-95 overpass.

Complete details are available on the city’s website newrochelleny.com/roadwayalerts.

Variable messaging signs will be posted on North Avenue to announce the new traffic pattern. During the initial switch, the New Rochelle Police Department will be controlling and monitoring traffic especially during commuting hours.
