Quote:
Concrete barriers are set to be installed along the stretch of the Bronx River Parkway where an SUV accident this past weekend killed seven members of the same family.
The state Department of Transportation says the barriers will be installed along the viaducts crossing the Bronx Zoo, East Tremont Avenue, and Amtrak.
The barriers will be placed on the right hand side of the north and southbound lanes.
During the installation, the speed limit will be lowered to 35 miles an hour.
The move comes after Sunday's accident near the zoo.
Police say a Honda Pilot traveling southbound struck the center barrier, careened across three lanes of traffic, and launched over a four foot guardrail.
The SUV then plunged nearly 60 feet into a private area of the zoo.
All seven people inside the SUV -- including three children -- were killed.
