Residents affected by the ongoing Route 59 bridge replacement project can now take advantage of a free shuttle service designed to help pedestrians navigate around the construction zone.

The complimentary service operates daily from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and is available for those needing transportation between both sides of the Route 59 closure near South Pascack Road. Pickup is available near Dutch Lane and surrounding areas, allowing pedestrians to access businesses, shopping centers, and other destinations that have become more difficult to reach due to the bridge work.

Officials say the shuttle was arranged to assist residents while the bridge replacement project remains underway. The closure is expected to remain in effect through the summer as crews work to replace the aging structure.

Pedestrians needing transportation around the closure can call 914-912-0670 to request a ride. The service is being provided at no cost throughout the duration of the project.
