All southbound lanes were closed for the morning commute, and traffic was being detoured to Wilmont Road. 

Drivers could get back on the parkway at Mill Road, but they had to go through at least three lights, which caused delays around the area. 

There was no word on when the roadway would reopen. For an alternate route, take the New England Thruway or the Bronx River Parkway.
