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)
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
