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:
“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
