Interstate 895, I-278 to I-95

 

Location: Sheridan Expwy and Bruckner Expwy, Bronx, New York

Reassurance shield as Interstate 895 begins. Oddly, as of this publication in January 2018, I-895 no longer exists, but it was 895 when I drove it in July of 2017, so we’ll go with that.

Location: Sheridan Expwy and Cross Bronx Expwy, Bronx, New York

About a mile later, we’ll approach the Cross Bronx/I-95.

Traffic heading to I-95 north and the Bronx River Parkway should use 177th Street to access those routes.

Exit for I-95 south.

Location: Sheridan Expwy and 177th St, Bronx, New York

I-895 ends as we approach 177th St, which connects to I-95 north. Turn left for East Tremont Street – this was the stretch highlighted in the Robert Caro classic The Power Broker as having been decimated by Robert Moses’s zeal for urban renewal and freeway construction.
