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:
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
