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:
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
