LINKING TWO BRIDGES WITH PELHAM BAY: Before there was a Bruckner Expressway, Bruckner Boulevard was a major thoroughfare through the southern and Eastern sections of the Bronx. Formerly known as Eastern Boulevard, the road was renamed in the late 1940’s after a former Bronx Borough President. In addition to serving residential and business area, the boulevard was designed to connect the Triborough and Bronx-Whitestone bridges with Pelham Bay Park.

The original Bruckner Boulevard had two separate route designations. The NY 1A designation was given to the section from the Willis Avenue and Third Avenue Bridges to the Hutchinson River Parkway, which continued with the NY 1A designation. East of this point, Bruckner Boulevard continued as NY 164. (Where the original Bruckner Boulevard ended at Pelham Parkway, NY 164 continued north along Baychester Avenue into Westchester.) The NY 164 designation was removed by 1961, the NY 1A designation by 1972.

FROM BOULEVARD TO EXPRESSWAY: For many years, Bruckner Boulevard had been planned as a limited-access approach route to the Triborough Bridge. As early as 1936, the Regional Plan Association recommended that an east-west expressway be constructed to connect the Triborough Bridge with a north-south expressway through Westchester County and Connecticut.
