US 1 is a major route running from Key West in Florida to the Canadian border in
Maine. Prior to the construction of I-95, it was the main route along the East
Coast. It enters New York from New Jersey on the George Washington Bridge. It
runs through Manhattan and the Bronx on the Cross Bronx Expressway, multiplexed
with I-95. In the Bronx, it splits off from I-95 and runs north along Webster
Avenue and then east along East Fordham Road. Just east of the Bronx Parkway,
East Fordham Road becomes Pelham Parkway, and US 1 turns to the north along
Boston Road. Boston Road runs northeast to the Bronx-Westchester border, where
it changes names to become Boston Post Road. US 1 runs along the shore through
Westchester to the New York-Connecticut border. In New Rochelle and Port
Chester, US 1 is called Main Street. There is also a short section in New
Rochelle where the northbound lanes are called Main Street and the southbound
lanes are called Huguenot Street.
