The Bruckner Expressway is a freeway in The Bronx. It carries Interstate 278 and Interstate 95 (and formerly Interstate 878) from the Triborough Bridge to the south end of the New England Thruway at the Pelham Parkway interchange.

The expressway is elevated from the Triborough Bridge. It crosses the Bronx River and Hutchinson River to the complicated Bruckner Interchange with Interstate 95/I-295 (Cross-Bronx Expressway) and the Hutchinson River Parkway (partly Interstate 678). From there it uses I-95.The Bruckner Expressway, a project envisioned by master developer Robert Moses, opened in the early 1970s, making it one of the last roads of the New York City Expressway system to be built. It is named in honor of former Bronx Borough President and Congressman, Henry Bruckner (1871-1942), and was built on and over the roadway of Bruckner Boulevard.

The Bruckner Boulevard name persists on the service roads, and at some points where it is beneath the highway. It also extends about a mile past the highway's western terminus, ending at the Third Avenue Bridge.
