The Kew Gardens Interchange

Three limited access highways converge at Kew Gardens near Queens Boulevard:
  • The Grand Central Parkway,
  • The Jackie Robinson Parkway
    (Formerly, the Interboro Parkway)
  • And, the Van Wyck Expressway.
    (Although most people believe it was named after the first mayor of the unified New York City, Robert C. Van Wyck [1898 - 1901], others argue that the it was named after Abraham Van Wyck, a real estate investor who developed Van Wyck Avenue - the site of today's Expressway - in Jamaica in 1834.)
