  • The Cross Island Parkway is one of the longest north-south roads in Queens and Nassau County. Stretching from the Van Wyck Expressway in Whitestone to the Belt and Southern State Parkways in Cambria Heights, the Cross Island is a major Long Island - New York City route. There are 23 exits along the route, following the number system of the Belt Parkway. Formerly, the Cross Island followed the numbering system of the Southern State Parkway. The road is unsigned New York State Reference Route 907A. The Cross Island Parkway is the main route to Belmont Park in Elmont, where the Belmont Stakes is run every June, marking the third and final leg of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing. Being a part of the "Belt System", its exit numbering is a continuation of the Belt Parkway, with exit numbers increasing north. At exit 25A (Southern State Parkway), the Cross Island Parkway becomes the Belt Parkway (more specifically, the section once known as the Laurelton Parkway). Before its exits were renumbered to align with the Belt Parkway, they were numbered to co-align with the Southern State Parkway, which is why that parkway begins with Exit 13 (the Cross Island Parkway was once Exits 1 to 12).
