The Cross County Parkway (CCP) is a 4.46-mile (7.18 km) long parkway in Westchester County, New York, in the United States. The parkway is a critical east–west connection throughout Westchester, having full interchanges with every major north–south parkway in southern Westchester, in addition to the New York State Thruway mainline. The western terminus is at the Saw Mill River Parkway in Yonkers. The eastern terminus is at the Hutchinson River Parkway in Eastchester.
As evident from stubs and oversized overpasses, it appears that there were plans to expand the Parkway west from exit 3 and east from exit 9, respectively. World War II had slowed this idea until it was shelved. The CCP is the only parkway in New York state that has Express and Local lanes. The parkway is designated New York State Route 907K (NY 907K), an unsigned reference route.

Famous quotes containing the words cross and/or county:
“There is a mountain in the distant West
That, sun-defying, in its deep ravines
Displays a cross of snow upon its side.
Such is the cross I wear upon my breast
These eighteen years, through all the changing scenes
And seasons, changeless since the day she died.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
“Anti-Nebraska, Know-Nothings, and general disgust with the powers that be, have carried this county [Hamilton County, Ohio] by between seven and eight thousand majority! How people do hate Catholics, and what a happiness it was to show it in what seemed a lawful and patriotic manner.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
