It's just the name of a highway. "Parkway" can be stuck at the end of basically any highway. It doesn't have to be by a park.

Really? That's news to me... I always thought "parkway" was a sort of scenic road, passing through national parks? E.G. The Blue Ridge Parkway. For our Russian readers, national parks are something like лесные заповедники and not парки -- they take up thousands (probably millions total?) of square miles.

EDIT: Dictionary.com says:
1. Abbr. Pkwy or Pky A broad landscaped highway, often divided by a planted median strip.
