James Hannon's video: Bronx Drive: Secret Shortcut to the GWB down the Concourse to avoid the Major Deegan

SECRET SHORTCUT TO THE GWB! Or less dramatically: A leisurely drive down the Grand Concourse from Bedford Park Blvd (east 200th Street) to Mt Eden Avenue - where you can get on the Cross Bronx easily and close to the George Washington Bridge without dealing with the Major Deegan or Henry Hudson Pkwy. Since you guys seemed to enjoy my previous video "Bronx Parking Woes - Fordham-Bedford drive thru Norwood", I figured I'd shoot a few more of these videos when I am back in the old neighborhood. This video shows my way of avoiding the crowds and construction of the Bronx highways to get back to New Jersey after picking up my mother-in-law for Thanksgiving. Hopefully this will help a few of you find an easier way to get out of the Bronx during heavy traffic times... Enjoy!
