New York State Route 304 is a New York State Route that stretches from Haverstraw, New York to Pearl River, New York. The road is entirely located in Central Rockland County. The length of the road is approximately 10.4 miles from its Haverstraw beginning to its end immediately along the New York-New Jersey state line in Pearl River. Though it crosses both the New York State Thruway and the Palisades Interstate Parkway, it accesses neither of the two major highways.

[edit] Route description

[edit] Pearl River-Havestraw Expressway

From Pearl River to Nanuet, a segment of NY 304 is a limited-access highway. This was part of an attempt to transform the road into the Pearl River-Haverstraw Expressway. The NYSDOT failed to build this road north of the NY 59 interchange, however, they succeeded in realigning NY 304 in New City north of Laurel Road.
