Here are some frequently asked questions about the Ashford Avenue Bridge.

Q. Who is responsible for maintenance of the bridge?
A. The Albany Post Road Bridge is owned by the county of Westchester and is the responsibility of the county's Department of Public Works and Transportation.

Replacement of Crane Road Bridge on the Bronx River Parkway started June 4, 2012. The project is expected to be completed in 2015 and involves replacing the bridge over the Bronx River as well as the bridge over the MTA Metro-North Railroad. During construction the existing bridge will remain in operation.

The new bridge will have wider lanes and shoulders and will included a northbound deceleration lane to Exit 12 - Crane Road. Also included will be a sidewalk/ramp accessing the Bronx River Pathway and the southbound Scarsdale Railroad Station Platform. Read more about the undertaking of this project.

The reconstruction of this bridge is the largest construction project ever undertaken by the county on the Bronx River Parkway. While local residents and those who use this section of the Bronx River Parkway have witnessed the progress of this project, we have assembled a photo gallery that visually chronicles the progress made to date.

The project will see the replacement of the Albany Post Road Bridge (BIN 1050460) which carries Albany Post Road over Canopus (Sprout) Brook. The project is located in the Town of Cortlandt, Westchester County, New York.

The existing bridge was constructed in 1929 and underwent rehabilitation in 1986. The bridge is a concrete jack-arch structure founded on concrete abutments. The bridge is a single span bridge with a span length of 53’-3”. The existing bridge carries (two) – 12 foot lanes with an 8’ wide shoulder on the north side and an 8’ 5” shoulder on the south side. The existing bridge also carries a concrete sidewalk on the south side along with concrete parapets on both sides of the bridge.
