Henry Hudson Parkway, highway in New York
Henry Hudson Parkway is a major highway in New York that runs along the Hudson River through western Manhattan and the Bronx. The road provides views of the river and serves as a key north-south transportation corridor for the city.
The parkway was designed in the 1930s as part of a major infrastructure initiative to improve traffic flow through New York. It was named after Henry Hudson, the English explorer who navigated the river in the early 1600s.
The parkway has multiple exits and on-ramps connecting to various neighborhoods and makes reaching other parts of Manhattan and further north quite accessible. Drivers should expect heavy traffic during peak hours, particularly in early morning and late afternoon.
