Major Deegan Expressway

When you decide to drive on the major deegan you have made the choice to have your tires be abused like a jackhammer to concrete. The road way is sooo friggin bad it makes you wonder what our tax dollars are being used for. You have decided that you didnt want to pay any tolls to head into the bronx or yonkers. You have decided to live on the edge (que in aerosmith).
For some reason i feel like am speedracer in a bumper car whenever i use the deegan. Go in at the wrong time (end of a baseball game) and you are sure to be a hour late to where ever you were going.
You need a full tank of gas (because you dont know how long you are going to be there), the patience of a saint, the sharp sense of a person who just drank 10 red bulls followed by an expresso and pure luck (other drivers DO NOT CARE… they will overtake you by any means necessary). I thought jersey drivers were bad (they are… really), but people in the bronx and yonkers are out right dangerous drivers.
Good luck!

I was driving up to my brother’s house, well my parents were driving because I live in LA. My mom just figured out that she can make the phone give her verbal directions so when we got close to the Major Deegon, it kept saying Madge Deegan which was hilarious.

For those speed racer tips, there are never any cops on this highway. You can also get to any boro from this roadway. This joins all major bridges. As you know, Yankee games can be tough but it’s only before games. After games, your straight. The on ramp to the GWB is tough too. But if your from the bronx, you know how to get around it all.

Choices, choices, choices. We all make them. I’ve already made most of mine. Have you? Only one type of cruise I know of — a pleasure cruise. Sitting in traffic, you probably Deegan. Hot-​boxing your car with obscenities directed at this most misunderstood figure. Few take the time to delve into the long and prestigious career of Major Deegan. If one wishes to appreciate the roadway, first one must appreciate the man. Deegan was a member of the Army Corp of Engineers. They’ve had a few champions over the years. R.E. Lee, Georgie Goethals to name just two. This country — the United States of America — wasn’t as Lady Gaga insists «born this way.» America was made. Built up. Irrigated and engineered. There is arguably no group of contributors to rival the Army Corps. They tamed the rivers, conquered the land and did it all efficiently and magnificently. «Blank you.» That’s what people say on this road. What they should say is, «thank you.» Thank you to Deegan and all the folks who made this nation what it is. As much as I like the bucolic ambiance of a dirt road, paved ones are bare necessities. Appreciate the view from the road. The river is in sight. Thanks for everything.
