After 2 miles (3.2 km), the Bruckner Expressway meets NY 895 (Sheridan Boulevard) and turns eastward to cross the Bronx River into the Soundview neighborhood.

Here, the highway connects to the Bronx River Parkway at an interchange one block north of that road's official southern terminus.

In the east half of the junction, located on the opposite bank of Westchester Creek in Throggs Neck, the Bruckner Expressway (now designated I-95) intersects the Hutchinson River Parkway, I-295, and I-678.

I-295 proceeds southeast from the Bruckner Interchange as the Cross Bronx Expressway, while the Hutchinson Parkway and I-678 head to the north and south, respectively.

In 2019, the New York State Department of Transportation began a $1.1 billion project to rebuild parts of the Bruckner Expressway and improve traffic flow, which would reduce air and noise pollution.
