Northern Parkway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Northern Parkway is a major road that runs west-east across the northern part of the city Baltimore. For most of the way, it is at least six lanes wide, and it is used by motorists for crosstown travel.
Northern Parkway starts in the west at Liberty Heights Avenue in Northwest Baltimore's Gwynn Oak community, and in the east at Belair Road in Overlea. It travels through the communities of Park Heights, Pimlico, Mt. Washington, Roland Park, Homeland, Govans, and Hamilton.
