New York State Route 109, also known as the Babylon-Farmingdale Turnpike, is a four-lane New York state highway that runs from Farmingdale, in the Town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County to the Village and Town of Babylon in Suffolk County. It runs mainly west-to-east in a northwest to southeast direction.

[edit] Route description

Route 109 runs almost entirely along the north side of the Central Branch of the Long Island Rail Road between Bethpage and Babylon. Therefore the unnumbered cloverleaf interchange with New York State Route 110 that was built in an area of East Farmingdale formerly known as Maywood contains ramps that were tightly squeezed between the south side of NY 109 and the railroad tracks. Connections with the Southern State Parkway are also shared with a close intersection with New Highway (Suffolk County Road 28). As it travels southeast of Southern State Parkway, it begins to drift further away from the railroad line. Upon intersecting with Little East Neck Road (Suffolk County Road 95) in the village of Babylon, it takes control of the road away from Suffolk County and heads south toward Montauk Highway (New York State Route 27A).
