East 233rd Street is one of the major thoroughfares of the Bronx. The road is 3 miles (4.83 kilometres) long and stretches from U.S. Route 1 in the Eastchester section of the Bronx to the Major Deegan Expressway (I-87) in Woodlawn (near Van Cortlandt Park). The road changes names from East 233rd Street to Pinkley Avenue after the Route 1 terminus. There is one interchange with a highway along the way, which is for the Bronx River Parkway. There are two subway stations along the road, one at Dyre Avenue and one at White Plains Road, serving the 2 and 5 trains.

Street description

East 233rd Street begins at an interchange with U.S. Route 1 in the southwestern side of Pelham Manor. The road heads westward and into Parkside, where it intersects with Dyre Avenue and Route 22. There is a subway station located at the Dyre Avenue intersection. As East 233rd Street leaves Parkside, the road passes by Seton Falls Park in Eastchester. Baychester Avenue, former Route 164, intersects at the northwest corner of the park and 233rd Street continues to the northwest. White Plains Road, a divided highway, intersects in Woodlawn. The second subway station is located at the intersection. At the Carpenter Avenue intersection, Our Lady of Mercy Medical Center is off to the left. Soon afterwards is the Bronx River Parkway, however, the road is only accessible from Bronx Boulevard. At the Webster Avenue intersection, a train station is present as well as the northwest corner of Woodlawn Cemetery. East 233rd Street runs along the northern border of Woodlawn Cemetery until its terminus at Jerome Avenue and the Major Deegan Expressway.
