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.

“But however the forms of family life have changed and the number expanded, the role of the family has remained constant and it continues to be the major institution through which children pass en route to adulthood.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“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)
