A reproduction of a vintage image shows New Rochelle NY - HUTCHINSON RIVER PARKWAY. Construction of the parkway began in 1924 and the first two-mile section was completed in December 1927. By October 1928, 11 miles of the parkway were open, connecting US 1 in Pelham Manor with Westchester Avenue in White Plains. The original roadway was an undivided, limited-access parkway, designed with gently sloping curves, stone arch bridges, and wooden lightposts. The original 11-mile section included bridle paths along the right-of-way. [Z10560]
