Route Description
The Pelham Parkway begins at an interchange with the Bronx River Parkway (exit 7W–E) in the Bronx Park section of The Bronx. An eastward continuation of East Fordham Road, the Pelham Parkway is four-lane divided parkway, crossing under the IRT White Plains Road Line and the Pelham Parkway station. The parkway continues east through the Bronxwood neighborhood, passing through and interchange with Williamsbridge Road. At this interchange, the Pelham crosses under the IRT Dyre Avenue Line. Leaving Bronxwood, the parkway bends eastward, crossing under Eastchester Road and Stillwell Avenue merging into the parkway.
After Stillwell Avenue, the parkway crosses over the Northeast Corridor and enters Pelham Bay Park. In the park, the Pelham enters a cloverleaf interchange with the Hutchinson River Parkway (exit 3). Less than 0.5 miles (0.80 km) later, the parkway enters a cloverleaf with the Bruckner Expressway (I-95). This junction serves as the eastern terminus of the Pelham Parkway, which continues east into the park as Shore Road.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
