The Bronx River Parkway is a historic parkway and state scenic byway in downstate New York, notable for being the first limited-access highway in the United States, built through the Bronx River Reservation between 1907 and 1925 to improve leisure travel. It features the first highway median strip, the first bridges for intersecting streets, and a picturesque linear park popular for recreation, connecting the Bronx to Kensico Dam in Westchester County
