Take the IND D train to Fordham Road, or
the IRT 4 train to Fordham Road. Once out of the subway station follow
Fordham Road east, down the hill toward the Fordham campus. You should
be able to see the campus emerging on your left, at the corner of
Webster Avenue. Continue walking beyond the campus entrance. Soon you
will pass Theodore Roosevelt High School, White Castle and Petes Diner
on your right, going past Bathgate, Lorillard, Hoffman, Arthur and
Hughes Avenues. Belmont Avenue will be on the right hand side of the
street, before the Fordham Road underpass. Ciszek Hall is in the first
block of Belmont.

FROM PELHAM PARKWAY AND FORDHAM ROAD: Pelham
Parkway turns into Fordham Road, which will pass between the New York
Botanical Gardens (right) and the Bronx Zoo (left). At the end of the
Gardens/Zoo, Fordham Road will fork. The main road slopes down to become
an underpass. Take the marginal road, which will slope up to the city
streets. Because of the underpass, you cannot make a left onto Belmont
Avenue from Fordham Road, so make a safe and legal U-Turn into Hughes
Avenue and head back in the opposing way and toward the underpass. Make
the right into Belmont Avenue at this point. Ciszek Hall is 2502-06
Belmont Avenue, on the left of the first block.
Note: Parts of the Bronx highway system
were built before the interstate highway system and only later
included in it, so the names of Bronx highways are not thoroughly
consistent with interstate numbers. Traveling from east to west, the
Bruckner Expressway starts as I-95 but becomes I-278. Traveling from
east to west, I-95 starts as the New England Thruway, turns into the
Bruckner, and ends up as the Cross Bronx. Some thoroughfares in the
Bronx change names along their routes for no apparent reason. Fordham
Road and Pelham Parkway are the same thoroughfare. It is Fordham Road
from its west end at the Harlem River to the Bronx River Parkway and
Pelham Parkway from the Bronx River Parkway to its east end at the
Hutchinson River. In New York State a parkway is distinct from a
highway or expressway. If you take a vehicle larger that a passenger
van onto a parkway you can be ticketed for a moving violation.
