Nicknames you have given roads

I was just looking at some pictures of New York and a picture of the Marine Parkway Bridge prompted me to think of this thread. When we were kids, my brother and I always called it the "Marino." I have no idea why, although I recall our dentist was named Dr. Marino so maybe we thought the name sounded similar. I was probably in my 20s before I actually started thinking of it by its real name.

My cousin James, on the other hand, had trouble pronouncing the letter "r" when we were little kids. He called it the "Bidge to Beezy Point"!

I don't really have any, but I like to emphasize the "park" part of Silas Creek Parkway in Winston-Salem because you don't go anywhere during rush hour, especially near the mall and hospital.

US 27 through downtown Rome, GA is officially named "Turner McCall Blvd."; I call it Turner McCrawl because it takes forever to get across town.

Interstate 27 is the Lubbock Lasso.

16th St NW in DC "the Georgia Ave Bypass."

When I was growing up, my father called it "Church Row."

If Caltrans & ADOT ever upgrade U.S. 95 to expressway or freeway standards, it should be named the Colorado River Freeway. The route through Arizona, California, & the southern part of Nevada parallels the river & connects cities that wouldn't even exist without the river.
