Hawthorne Circle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hawthorne Circle was a notably dangerous traffic circle or roundabout located in Hawthorne, New York in Westchester County until 1972 when it was replaced with a three-level interchange. The circle once connected three busy highways, the Bronx River Parkway, the Sprain Brook Parkway, and the Saw Mill River Parkway. This interchange was also extremely close to Interstate 287. Today, this area has very heavy traffic, and a roundabout would be even more dangerous today than it was in 1972.
