| Perspective from Interstate 895 south
|
| Interstate 895, the Sheridan Expressway, defaults onto Interstate 278 westbound at the southern terminus. This end shield is posted on the said ramp. The Bruckner Expressway (Interstate 278) continues to sink southward to the southern terminus of Interstate 87, the Major Deegan Expressway, before entering the Triborough Bridge system into New York County.

| Perspective from Interstate 278 east
|
| Interstate 895 is basically nothing more than a connector between Interstate 95, the Cross-Bronx Expressway, and Interstate 278. Therefore, the control points for the Sheridan Expressway reflect the George Washington Bridge crossing of Interstate 95. This sign bridge is set on eastbound Interstate 278/Bruckner Expressway before the departure of Interstate 895/Sheridan Expressway north. Photo taken by Alex Nitzman (08/09/04).

|
| Eastbound Interstate 278/Bruckner Expressway approaches Exit 49 (formerly 46), Junction Interstate 895/Sheridan Expressway north. There are approximately two miles of Interstate 278 eastbound remaining before the Bruckner Expressway merges onto Interstate 95/Cross Bronx Expressway northbound. The control points feature New England for Interstate 278 east to Interstate 95 north and the Throgs Neck Bridge for the connection to southbound Interstate 295 at the terminus. Photo taken by Alex Nitzman (08/09/04).

|
| New reflective signage reflects that Interstate 895 north is now Exit 49 (not 46) and that Interstate 278 features the preferred Interstate 95 control point of New Haven. Like so many Interstate to Interstate connections in New York City, ramps include access to local area roads - East 177th Street being the case here. Photo taken by Alex Nitzman (08/09/04).

|
| Eastbound Interstate 278/Bruckner Expressway reaches Exit 49, Junction Interstate 895/Sheridan Expressway north to Interstate 95 south to the George Washington Bridge. The left two lanes of Interstate 278 must navigate a 25-mile-per-hour ramp to remain on eastbound, while the right two lanes fly over the freeway onto northbound Interstate 895. Photo taken by Alex Nitzman (08/09/04).

| The first northbound Interstate 895 shield, posted just past the departure from Interstate 278 eastbound. This shield went missing by 2005 and has not yet been replaced. Photo taken by Douglas Kerr (09/14/02).

|
| The first and only standalone exit from northbound Interstate 895/Sheridan Expressway occurs at Westchester Avenue. A second standalone shield is posted here as well. Use this exit to Hunts Point Market and Industrial Park. Photo taken by AARoads (08/29/05).

|
| Northbound Interstate 895/Sheridan Expressway reaches Exit 1, Westchester Avenue. After this interchange, Interstate 895 approaches its junction with Interstate 95. Photo taken by AARoads (08/29/05).

|
| Shortly after the Westchester Road offramp, northbound Interstate 895/Sheridan Expressway approaches its end at Interstate 95/Cross Bronx Expressway and East 177th Street/Tremont Avenue. Photo taken by AARoads (08/29/05).
|
|
| There is no direct connection from northbound Interstate 895/Sheridan Expressway to northbound Interstate 95/Cross Bronx Expressway. It is assumed that through traffic to the New England Thruway would have used Interstate 278/Bruckner Expressway east. It is someone ironic that Interstate 895 north does not connect to Interstate 95 north, but that is because Interstate 95/Cross Bronx Expressway travels east-west. There is a direct connection to Interstate 95 south (west) to the George Washington Bridge. The connection to southbound Interstate 95 is made via East 177th Street. Photo taken by AARoads (08/29/05).
|
|
| The right lane becomes exit only for Interstate 95/Cross Bronx Expressway south to the George Washington Bridge. The left lane connects to East 177th Street to Interstate 95 north and Tremont Avenue. Note the onramp, which is shielded as Interstate 895 north to East 177th Street. Photo taken by AARoads (08/29/05).
|
|
| Northbound Interstate 895 ends as the right lane exits onto a direct connection ramp to Interstate 95/Cross Bronx Expressway south to the George Washington Bridge. Continue in the left lane to East 177th Street. Tremont Avenue, which parallels Interstate 95 on the north side of the expressway, interconnects with Interstate 895 at the traffic signal ahead. Photo taken by AARoads (08/29/05).
|
|
| The two lanes of Interstate 895 north split, with a loop ramp connecting to southbound Interstate 95 and the left lane connecting to a traffic signal with Tremont Avenue and East 177th Street. Photo taken by AARoads (08/29/05).
|
|
| Interstate 895 northbound leading to East 177th Street, which is how access from Interstate 895 north to Interstate 95 northbound is achieved. One must go through a series of traffic signals to do so. Photo taken by AARoads (08/29/05).
|
|
| At the end of the ramp is a lengthy traffic signal that governs the flow of traffic from Interstate 895 to East Tremont Avenue (left turn) or East 177th Street. Note the large Interstate 95 shield, which does not have a cardinal direction banner. Photo taken by AARoads (08/29/05).
|
|
| Use East 177th Street to the Bronx River Parkway and Interstate 95 north. Follow the signs from here, including an Interstate 95 New York shield (1979 specs). Photo taken by AARoads (08/29/05).

|
| Northbound Interstate 95/Cross Bronx Expressway reaches Exit 2B, Junction U.S. 1 north/Webster Avenue. The U.S. 1 sign is relegated to a small trailblazer shield on the side of the road and is not present on the overhead sign for Webster Aevnue, thus making this a relatively unnoticed split between Interstate 95 and U.S. 1. The one-mile guide sign for Interstate 895/Exit 4A, the Sheridan Expressway, sits to the left. Photo taken by Alex Nitzman/Carter Buchanan (06/26/05).

| Passing under a concrete arch bridge and a short cut and cover tunnel, northbound Interstate 95/Cross Bronx Expressway approaches Exit 4A, Junction Interstate 895/Sheridan Expressway. Photo taken by Alex Nitzman/Carter Buchanan (06/26/05).
|
|
| Drawing closer to Interstate 895 south, the Cross-Bronx Expressway was remarkably free flowing on this day. Interstate 895 features the Interstate 278 control point of "Triboro Bridge". Photo taken by Alex Nitzman/Carter Buchanan (06/26/05).

| The Bronx River Housing Project scouring the skyline, Exit 4A for the southbound beginning of Interstate 895 departs from the right. The next Cross-Bronx Expressway exit leads to the Bronx River Parkway, a limited access facility between Yonkers and points north to Interstate 278.
