Bayfront Parkway

CSX railroad line at the State Street junction, with the railroad line running parallel to the south, and passes between the Erie Maritime Museum to the north and the UPMC Hamot hospital to the south. After intersecting Holland Street, the Bayfront Parkway heads south of the Erie Intermodal Transportation Center serving Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority buses and crosses a railroad spur from the CSX line. The road runs between industrial areas to the north and residential areas to the south and crosses another railroad spur. The roadway heads away from the parallel CSX tracks and widens to four lanes, running northeast between the Erie Wastewater Treatment Plant to the north and the site of Fort Presque Isle to the south. Bayfront Parkway comes to an intersection with Port Access Road and East Bay Drive, at which point Bayfront Parkway and the parallel Bayfront Bikeway turn southeast to head away from Presque Isle Bay. The road crosses a CSX railroad spur and becomes parallel to a CSX railroad line located southwest of the road. The roadway heads through residential areas with some commercial development and intersects PA 5 Alt. The Bayfront Parkway ends at a junction with PA 5/PA 290, at which point the road continues southeast as PA 290 (Bayfront Connector).^[2][3]
