The Cross County Parkway (CCP) is a 4.46-mile-long (7.18 km) parkway in lower Westchester County, New York, in the United States. The parkway is a critical east–west connection throughout Westchester, having full interchanges with every major north–south highway in southern Westchester with the exception of the New England Thruway. Among its junctions, it has access to the New York State Thruway mainline. The western terminus is at the Saw Mill River Parkway in Yonkers. The eastern terminus is at the Hutchinson River Parkway in Eastchester.
As evident from stubs and oversized overpasses, it appears that there were plans to expand the Parkway west from exit 3 and east from exit 9, respectively.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. The parkway is designated New York State Route 907K (NY 907K), an unsigned reference route.
The Cross County Parkway begins at an interchange with the Saw Mill River Parkway (exit 4A) in Yonkers. On the ramp for the southbound Saw Mill River Parkway, it has a left lane which leads to a ramp onto Rumsey Road, this called exit one (Going westbound this is designated exit 2 for the Cross County and exit 1 for Rumsey Road). After crossing an abandoned railroad grade, the parkway enters exit 3, a small interchange with Yonkers Avenue. The six-lane roadway crosses through southeast Yonkers, making a gradual bend from the northeast to the southeast before crossing into an interchange with the New York State Thruway (I-87) and NY 100. In this interchange, designated as exits 4S and 4N, eastbound are accessed by separate ramps on frontage roads. Just east of the Thruway, the Cross County passes north of Cross County Shopping Center and the frontage roads service exit 5, which connects to Kimball Avenue and Midland Avenue.
