Hutchinson River Parkway

The Hutchinson River Parkway, colloquially called "The Hutch" by many Westchester and Bronx residents, is a parkway that runs through Westchester County, New York and the Bronx in New York City. At the New York/Connecticut state line, the roadway becomes the Merritt Parkway. Its southern end is at the massive Bruckner Interchange in the Throgs Neck section of the Bronx; it runs straight through to the Whitestone Bridge (I-678). The road is unsigned New York State Reference Route 907W in Westchester and New York State Reference Route 908A in the Bronx.
