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:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The great object in life is Sensation—to feel that we exist, even though in pain; it is this “craving void” which drives us to gaming, to battle, to travel, to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
