Beaver Island Parkway

Beaver Island Parkway (also known as South Parkway) is a 2.72-mile long parkway connecting Beaver Island State Park to Interstate 190 (the Niagara Section of the New York State Thruway) and New York State Route 324 near the South Grand Island Bridge. This roadway is a four-lane divided expressway, and there are no driveways leading to and from the roadway. However, there are at-grade intersections along the route. The parkway is within the jurisdiction of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation but is maintained and inventoried by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) as New York State Route 957B, an unsigned reference route.[1]

All junctions on the route, excluding those with West River Parkway and I-190, are at-grade intersections. At the northern end of the parkway near East River Road, an additional ramp connects to I-190 northbound via NY 324 westbound and Staley Road.
