Suffolk County Road 10, commonly referred to as Elwood Road is a two-lane suburban county road in Suffolk County, New York. It runs from NY 25 in Elwood, to NY 25A in Northport.
From the 1950s into the 1980s, there were proposals by the New York State Department of Transportation to build the Babylon-Northport Expressway within the vicinity of the west side of Elwood Road, with interchanges at both ends that included ramps utilizing CR 10. Suburban sprawl and public opposition to the road has resulted in traffic jams along the corridor.
