The Bronx and Pelham Parkway, also known formally as the Bronx–Pelham Parkway but called Pelham Parkway in everyday use, is a 2.25-mile-long (3.62 km) parkway in the borough of the Bronx in New York City. The road begins in Bronx Park at the Bronx River Parkway and U.S. Route 1 (US 1) and ends at Interstate 95 (I-95), the New England Thruway, in Pelham Bay Park, hence the roadway's name. The parkway is designated as New York State Route 907F (NY 907F), an unsigned reference route, by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT).
Despite the parkway moniker, Pelham Parkway is partially a freeway and partially a boulevard, with two main roadways (one in each direction), and two service roads on the surface section. Like other parkways in New York City, commercial traffic is not permitted on the surface section, however it can use the paralleling service roads. The parkway is maintained by the New York City Department of Transportation.
The residential neighborhood that surrounds the parkway is Morris Park, though the part of the neighborhood closest to the road is commonly referred to as Pelham Parkway.
A bikeway, which signed as a portion of the East Coast Greenway travels alongside the parkway for its entire length.
