The
Taconic State Parkway (often called the
Taconic or the
TSP and known administratively as
New York State Route 987G or
NY 987G), is a
divided highway between
Kensico Dam and
Chatham, the longest
parkway in the U.S. state of
New York. It follows a generally northward route midway between the
Hudson River and the Connecticut and Massachusetts state lines, along the
Taconic Mountains. Its southernmost three miles are a surface road; from the junction with the
Sprain Brook Parkway northward it is a
limited-access highway. It has grade-separated
interchanges from that point to its northern terminus; in the three northern counties there are also at-grade intersections, many with closed medians, allowing only
right-in/right-out turns. It is open only to passenger vehicles, as with other parkways in New York, and maintained by the state
Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), the fourth agency to have that responsibility.
