> The sprain/bronx river pkwy run parallel to the hutch. Theres no commercial traffic on the parkway, and the roads are more fun. I’m only on the cross bronx for 3 minutes before I hit the Throgs Neck anyway… If there is traffic going east, it backs up the hutch and the cross bronx, so it doesnt matter either way.

I live here so I know. 🙂

The difference is that going the Hutch route avoids Cross Bronx which can be backed up especially if Yankees are playing. Yes, the traffic can spill onto the Hutch but the Cross Bronx can be a nightmare. I’d stay away as long as possible.

But, going the I-87 route puts you through a $1.50 toll. You could jump off either parkway and find the Cross County to get to the Hutch. Either way is potential traffic but most ppl stay away from Cross Bronx.
