This article will describe its route and most of the items you'll find on it.

  1. In Westchester County, the only county it'll travel in, [2] you'll begin with the first .5 miles (0.80 km) traveling with the starting point at a fork with the Bronx River Parkway as a six-lane freeway traveling almost straight north (to the west of Scout Field County Park) until it curves to the northwest and the routes breaks away, sending this parkway northwest (passing Andrus Park) into Centuck. It then travels almost straight north-northeast through with bounded lanes bending to the northeast on either side of Grassy Sprain Reservoir crossing Sprain Ridge Park and a golf course and combines much later at Jackson Ave.
    • This parkway doesn't have official exit numbers, [3] so this article will reference mile markers for these exits instead.
    • In Westchester County, expect exits for Yonkers at mile markers 0.00 miles (0 km) (for the Bronx River Parkway), 1.88 miles (3.03 km) (for NY-100/Central Ave) and at mile marker 1.33 miles (2.14 km) (for Tuckahoe Rd/Ridge Hill Blvd), and within Ardsley at mile marker 4.00 miles (6.44 km) (for Jackson Ave).
