The Cross County Parkway looking east from the Murray Avenue bridge in Yonkers

The Cross County Parkway is a state-maintained parkway within Westchester County, New York which runs 4.8 miles from the Saw Mill River Parkway in Yonkers to the Hutchinson River Parkway. The parkway is a critical east-west connection throughout Westchester, having full interchanges with every major north-south parkway in southern Westchester, in addition to the New York State Thruway mainline. As evident from stubs and an oversized overpasses, it appears that there were plans to expand the Parkway west from interchange 3 and east from interchange 9, respectively.[2] 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.
