Also known as Route 287, this is basically the road the Central Westchester Parkway was supposed to be. Constructed between 1956 and 1960, it crosses Westchester from the New York State Thruway in the west to the New England Thruway in the east. Together with the New York State Thruway which opened in 1955 and the New England Thruway, finished in 1958, the new superhighways made driving through the area easier.

AuthorMy name is Cliff Blau. I was born and raised in White Plains, NY, and in 2015 became interested in learning more about the history of this fair city. The pathway I took into White Plains history was to discover the reason for the names of each of the streets. See https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1WvlOinVQnWh4KGDmEN7YPFfg4II for an annotated map of White Plains. Archives
