Motor Parkway looking north toward Horace Harding Blvd. Parkway Bridge is over 73rd Rd. Temporary entrance to Parkway from 73rd Rd. as Horace Harding Blvd, not yet ready for traffic. Most likely 1927.

Eric, Towards the top of the page here, you’ll see in red - The Long Island Motor Parkway Online Map I clicked that and it brought me to the Google Map. It’s all there, you don’t need to sign in to Google to view the map ( :

Looks like the interactive map was taken off awhile back. Any other sources?

Hi all:  I tried to RSVP via the AACA-GNYR site, but seems it didn’t go through. I would like to swing by and (just like last year), park in adjacent lot, and generally be unobtrusive and stay out of the way (except to look).  Hope that’s still ok?

We are looking north along the LIMP in Fresh Meadows between Union Turnpike and Nassau Boulevard, just slightly west of today’s Francis Lewis Blvd. In the center is the LIMP bridge over 73rd Avenue. What appears to be an entrance ramp was, in fact, a temporary entrance to the LIMP built around 1927 -1928 during constuction and widening of Nassau Blvd. (a few hunndred yards north) where the real entrance to the LIMP was located.  This temporary entrance looks fairly new so I’ll guess the date as 1928.

I will be there with my dad and two brothers.

Looking east where the LIMP crosses over Route 107 in the center of the picture.  The “exit” ramp on the left side of the LIMP was put there for the 1909 and 1910 Vanderbilt Cup Races to shorten the course from the longer 1908 course.  Racers traveling east would now turn northbound onto Route 107 instead of continuing on towards “dead man’s curve” in Bethpage.  My only hesitation to be sure here is the absence of the Massapequa Lodge which should be on the north side of the LIMP just below the ersatz exit.  I don’t know why we can’t see that.  So I could be wrong altogether about the whole thing.
