Direction: East/West
Western Terminus: Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (I-278) in Queens
Eastern Terminus: Northern Parkway at the Queens-Nassau border
The Grand Central Parkway is the western extension of the Northern Parkway into
Queens. It begins at the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (I-278) near the RFK Bridge
and runs to the east, providing access to La Guardia Airport. After the airport
it curves to the south, crosses Northern Boulevard (NY 25A), and runs parallel to
the Van Wyck Expressway (I-278). Several miles south, it passes through an
interchange with the Van Wyck Expressway (I-678) and the Jackie Robinson Parkway.
At this point, it curves to the east again and runs just to the south of the Long
Island Expressway (I-495) until the Queens-Nassau border, where it becomes the
Northern Parkway.
