Bronx, NY – Metro-North commuters are experiencing partial service disruptions on the New Haven and Harlem lines as crews urgently repair a buckled girder on a parkway overpass in the Bronx. Repairs are being carried out by the New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) on the Bronx River Parkway, but an unexpected buckled girder has raised safety concerns, leading to the suspension of Metro-North service in the affected area.
Harlem line service has been suspended between Williams Bridge and Wakefield, while New Haven line service is suspended between Williams Bridge and Mt. Vernon East. Additionally, there will be no Yankee Clipper service to Saturday’s game between the New York Yankees and the Kansas City Royals at Yankee Stadium.
Service on the affected lines will resume as soon as the DOT crews are able to stabilize the overpass, ensuring the safety of train operations below. However, customers are advised to seek alternative means of travel, particularly until early afternoon on Saturday. Alternatively, commuters can utilize the Hudson line, which continues to operate on a regular schedule.
Metro-North officials are working towards resolving the issue as quickly as possible, and safety remains their top priority. Meanwhile, the DOT is collaborating closely with Metro-North to assess the extent of the damage and resolve the issue with the parkway’s overpass.
