The Cross County Parkway (CCP) is a long parkway in lower 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 highway in southern Westchester with the exception of the New England Thruway. Among its junctions, it has access 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. ==Route description== The Cross County Parkway begins at an interchange with the Saw Mill River Parkway (exit 4A) in the city of Yonkers. (Going westbound this is designated exit 2 for the Cross County). After crossing an abandoned railroad grade, the parkway enters exit 3, a small interchange with Yonkers Avenue. The six-lane roadway crosses through southeast Yonkers, making a gradual bend from the northeast to the southeast before crossing into an interchange with the New York State Thruway (I-87) and NY 100. In this interchange, designated as exits 4S and 4N, eastbound are accessed by separate ramps on frontage roads. Just east of the Thruway, the Cross County passes north of Cross County Shopping Center and the frontage roads service exit 5, which connects to Kimball Avenue and Midland Avenue. Continuing east through Yonkers, the Cross County Parkway enters an interchange with the Bronx River Parkway just south of the fork from the Sprain Brook Parkway. In the center of this interchange, consisting of several flyover ramps, is the Fleetwood Metro-North Railroad station on the Harlem Line. Now in Mount Vernon, the parkway enters an urbanized part of the city before winding southeast into the Chester Heights section, where it enters exit 8 for NY 22 (North Columbus Avenue). Just east of exit 8, the Cross County has a ramp for exit 9, which connects the parkway to the southbound lanes of the Hutchinson River Parkway at the latter's exit 13. At this interchange, the Cross County Parkway turns northward, paralleling a park in Chester Heights and entering exit 10, a small interchange with New Rochelle Road.〔 Now in Eastchester, the Cross County Parkway continues north as a six-lane parkway before crossing under a flyover ramp for the Hutchinson River Parkway southbound and merging into the parkway northbound.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cross County Parkway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
