Route Description
The Mosholu Parkway begins at Interchange 8E of the Bronx River Parkway. It heads northward as an arterial boulevard through the northern parts of the Bronx. The highway crosses through Bedford Park, passing Bainbridge Avenue. It intersects with the Grand Concourse farther ahead, with Jerome Avenue, Sedgwick Avenue and West Gun Hill Road soon after. In Van Cortlandt Park, the Mosholu Parkway becomes a limited-access freeway, with exits at the Major Deegan Expressway (Interstate 87 or I-87) and its terminus at the Henry Hudson Parkway just south of the Westchester County line where it turns into the Saw Mill River Parkway.
A bikeway runs along the northeast side of the parkway from Bronx Park to Van Cortlandt Park, connecting through the park to another bikeway on the former New York and Putnam Railroad line.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
