Little Neck Parkway (formerly Little Neck Road) is the easternmost, major north–south route in the northern portion of the New York City borough of Queens, traveling between the neighborhoods of Little Neck and Bellerose.
North of Northern Boulevard (NY 25A), the parkway is a local residential street. South of there, it is a two- to four-lane road, which becomes divided south of the Grand Central Parkway. South of Hillside Avenue (NY 25B), it widens to six lanes. Its southern terminus is at Jericho Turnpike (NY 25) at the Queens-Nassau border.
Little Neck Parkway has one of the few at-grade railroad crossings of the Long Island Rail Road in New York City, and the only at-grade crossing of the Port Washington Branch of the LIRR.
The Q36 bus serves Little Neck Parkway from Jamaica Avenue to the Little Neck Long Island Rail Road station on weekdays. Express routes include the QM3 bus between the Long Island Expressway (Interstate 495) and Northern Boulevard, and QM5, QM8 and QM35 buses between 260th Street and the Long Island Expressway.[1] [2]
