Highway system

The Niagara Scenic Parkway (known as the Robert Moses State Parkway until 2016) is a 16.4-mile (26.39 km) state parkway in western Niagara County, New York, in the United States. Its southern terminus is at the LaSalle Expressway on the east bank of the Niagara River in Niagara Falls. The northern terminus is at New York State Route 18 (NY 18) at Four Mile Creek State Park in Porter near Lake Ontario. Originally, the parkway was one continuous road; however, due to low usage, a portion of the parkway near Niagara Falls was removed, separating the parkway into two sections. The length of the parkway is designated as New York State Route 957A by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). A 1.16-mile (1.87 km) long spur connecting the Niagara Scenic Parkway to Fort Niagara State Park near Youngstown is designated as New York State Route 958A. Both reference route designations are unsigned.

The parkway, a four-lane freeway for most of its route, is one of the most unorthodox parkways in New York State, similar to Ocean Parkway on Long Island. The portion between downtown Niagara Falls and Lewiston is merely a two-lane surface road, and the parkway as a whole has gradually been relegated due to low usage.
