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.

Description

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.

Transportation

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 following bus routes serve Little Neck Parkway:

• Weekday Q36 buses run between Jericho Turnpike and either 41st Avenue (Little Neck LIRR station), or 40th Avenue (Jamaica).
• From there, service is replaced with the QM5, QM8 and QM35 buses until Long Island Expressway, then the QM3 takes over heading to Northern Boulevard.
  • The Little Neck-bound QM3 leaves the parkway at Nassau Boulevard.
• The Glen Oaks-bound Q46 runs from 73rd Road to 260th Street, where it terminates.
• The Q30 uses the parkway from Horace Harding Expressway to Nassau Boulevard to change direction from Little Neck to Jamaica, except those serving Queensborough Community College.
