There will be Yonkers Avenue/Central Park Avenue street closures from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Congestion from the closures on the major thoroughfares is expected to cause congestion on nearby roadways as well. Secondary roadways and thruway ramps will also have intermittent street closures, lane restrictions and heavy congestion due to the memorial procession.
