Everybody is feeling the pinch of the troubled economy, but since the Comly Avenue Bridge began construction nearly a year-and-a-half ago, the Castleview Deli has lost almost a third of its business.
So with the long-awaited new bridge opening this week, owner Louis Sprio hopes that much-needed business will return back to normal.
"It was a long haul," he said.
Since the project began only westbound traffic has been allowed to use the bridge, which links Comly Avenue and Pemberwick Road. The deli is at Comly Avenue and Morgan Avenue.
Once traffic comes over the bridge, cars are detoured to the Post Road in Port Chester or through Glenville, miles from Pemberwick Road.
"With the bridge being out, it's been tough," said Sprio. "We rely on locals and it can be hard for them to get over here since then they have to go through Port Chester or Glenville to turn around."
The deli, which opened in 1993, tried to extend their hours later into the evening and to stay open Sundays, but that didn't help, he said.
