Bear Mountain Parkway / Taconic Parkway Interchange

Mitsguy2001 8 March 2005 04:27:29
 In looking at online maps, I see that from the eastbound Bear Mountain
Parkway, there is a connection only to the southbound Taconic Parkway, but
no connection to the northbound Taconic Parkway. However, I often see in
the archives of this group directions for roadtrips going from the eastbound
Bear Mountain Parkway to the northbound Taconic. Is there a connection from
the eastbound Bear Mountain to northbound Taconic? If not, then why not?
Wouldn't it have made more sense to have the connection to the northbound
Taconic, rather than southbound, and have southbound traffic use US 202?
Or, are the maps all just wrong?

Originally there was supposed to be a single parkway. The ROW for the
missing segment exists, but the missing segment probably sets a record as
the longest planned-but-never-b­uilt road segment (since the '20s or 30s)
that hasn't been totally abandoned.

I thought I read here that NYSDOT actually planned to build the missing
segment a couple of years ago.

I believe the original parkway was planned to go up the Taconic and then
west on the Bear Mountain; the Taconic north of the BMP was added later.
They probably wanted to keep existing movements but not add extra bridges.
