County Route 26

County Route 26
Location: Mattituck-Cutchogue
Existed: 1930(1972)–present

Suffolk County Route 26 is the designation for New Suffolk Road from Mattituck to New Suffolk, and New Suffolk Lane from New Suffolk to Cutchogue. However this designation was proposed to be relocated to the formerly proposed North Brookhaven Expressway, a former eastern extension of NY 347 from Mount Sinai to Wading River.

Route description

Suffolk CR 26 begins at New York State Route 25 just southwest of the eastern terminus of Sound Avenue. It begins as New Suffolk Avenue(Lane), which is surrounded mostly spares houses and farmland. The road passes by the south side of Marratooka Pond, and then the north side of Mattituck Airport. The road then crosses Deep Hole Creek then Downs Creek before passing south of the North Fork Country Club.

In New Suffolk, CR 26 is lines with houses as it approaches the intersection of Fifth Street and Main Street, and immediately turns north onto Fifth Street. Main Street continues east toward the Cutchogue Harbor, while Southbound 5th Street continues toward Great Peconic Bay north of Robin's Island. 5th Street is paved with old concrete, compared to New Suffolk Lane. At Orchard Street Fifth Street becomes New Suffolk Road where it then passes the New Suffolk Shipyard.

As CR 26 intersects with George Road it enters Cutchogue. Eventually it passes by some farmland as it takes a slight reverse curve to the left then returns north. The farmland surrrounding the road is replaced by early 20th Century houses once again. Residential zoning ends at the Cutchogue Fire Department and the road finally ends at New York State Route 25.

County Route 28

County Route 28
Location: North Lindenhurst-Melville
Length: 5.4 mi[1] (8.69 km)

Suffolk County Route 28 is a north-south road in southwestern Suffolk County called New Highway. It is a four-lane undivided highway between NY 27 and the interchange with Southern State Parkway where it narrows down to two-lanes.

Route description

The road begins at New York State Route 27 just west of the intersection of Straight Path, and an Educational Bus Transport garage for school buses and intercity buses of Suffolk County Transit. This section of the road then curves towards the old section which runs along Trinity Cemetery, the site of the former Zahn's Airport, and behind the Sisters of St. Dominic Motherhouse Complex, which was previously known as the Queen of the Rosary Academy. After bi-secting Albany Avenue, the road approaches an at-grade crossing of the Central Branch of the Long Island Rail Road and immediately intersects New York State Route 109.

North of NY 109 Suffolk CR 28 runs along the western edge of the Cemetery zone of Southwestern Suffolk County. Mount Ararat Cemetery is on the opposite side of the Southern State Parkway interchanges with both NY 109 and CR 28. At the Southern State interchange, the road narrows down from a four-lane undivided highway to two-lanes and the east side of the road contains the Roman Catholic Church Diocese of Brooklyn Cemetery from Southern State Parkway to the Main Line of the LIRR, and also winds around a runway and the grounds of Republic Airport on the west side. After crossing the LIRR Main Line CR 28 runs along the western border of Pinelawn Cemetery.

When CR 28 leaves the cemetery zone, it enters an industrial area which ends before terminating at Ruland Road in Melville. However, just to the east of this terminus is a de-facto extension called Maxess Road, which leads to the eastbound service road of the Long Island Expressway between NY 110 and Pinelawn Road.

County Route 29

County Route 29

Suffolk County Route 29 is an unsigned County Road spanning from Suffolk CR 93 to the Long Island Expressway. The road was being widened around the period that Ronkonkoma Station was facing major reconstruction itself, and included a replacement for the wooden bridge that previously crossed over the Main Line of the Long Island Rail Road. The Suffolk CR 29 signs were installed between 1989 and 1995, but have since been taken down.

Within the Town of Islip, the road is named Smithtown Avenue. After it crosses the Main Line of the Long Island Rail Road and simultaneously the Islip-Brookhaven Town Line, it becomes Ronkonkoma Avenue, a name that continues north of the terminus of I-495 until it reaches Hawkins Avenue in Lake Ronkonkoma.

Length: 2.8 mi[1] (4.51 km)
Existed: 1979–present

County Route 31

County Route 31
Location: Westhampton Beach-Riverside
Length: 4.0 mi[1] (6.44 km)
Existed: 1930(1972)–present

Suffolk County Route 31 is a short north-south county highway running across rural eastern Suffolk County. The road serves as a connection between Westhampton Beach and the Riverhead area, feeding directly into Suffolk County Route 104 as it makes its way north.

Route description

The road begins at Montauk Highway (CR 80), just north of the downtown area of Westhampton Beach. It serves in function as a continuation of Oak Street, which heads south to connect with the town's main street before crossing over to the Dune Road beaches.

Heading north, this arrow-straight portion of the road crosses the Long Island Railroad's Montauk Branch railroad tracks and then runs through the grounds of Francis S. Gabreski Airport, a former base of the United States Air Force, which is now home to the 106th Rescue Wing of the New York Air National Guard.

North of the base, the road continues through a section of the Long Island Central Pine Barrens, which feature the indigenous dwarf pine. This area fell victim to a widespread wildfire that burned a significant portion of the core of the Pine Barrens in 1995.

The road widens as it crosses New York State Route 27, with which it has a full cloverleaf interchange. About one-half mile beyond this interchange, the road ends at a "Y" intersection with CR 104.

History

Between January 18, 1961 and May 23, 1972, Suffolk CR 31 was extended south of Montauk Highway between Oak Street and Mill Road (formerly Suffolk County Road 100). It should also be noted that Mill Road was intended to be converted into part of the formerly proposed Port Jefferson-Westhampton Beach Highway.

County Route 32

County Route 32
Location: Westhampton Beach Barrier Island-Hampton Bays
Length: 3.21 mi[1] (5.17 km)
Existed: 1930(1943)–present

Suffolk County Route 32 is Ponquogue Road, the main two-lane highway between Ponquogue Point on Westhampton Beach Barrier Island and downtown Hampton Bays, New York.

Route description

Suffolk CR 32 begins at Dune Road at Ponquogue Point, where it immediately crosses the Ponquogue Bridge over Shinnecock Bay. After doing this, it becomes Light House Road, and then shifts over to Porter Road which terminates at Shinnecock Avenue. CR 32 then takes a left turn onto Shinnecock Avenue, moving west for a few blocks until reaching the intersection of Ponquogue Avenue, where it makes a right turn and heads north again.

The grade crossing of the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road and the immediate intersection with Good Ground Road serve as the east side of the Hampton Bays Railroad Station. Suffolk CR 32 and Ponquogue Avenue terminate at Suffolk County Road 80(Montauk Highway). North of CR 80 however, the road turns into Squiretown Road, then runs underneath Sunrise Highway, but not before taking Old Riverhead Road with it momentarily. After crossing under Sunrise Highway, Old Riverhead Road branches off to the west on a new section that goes around Sunrise before reuniting with the original section. Meanwhile, Squiretown Road curves back to the north as it enters the former hamlet that the road was named after. Within Squiretown itself, Squiretown Road becomes Red Creek Road at the intersection of Newtown Road, then begins to make a northwest turn along the edge of the Great Peconic Bay. From there it passes by Camp Tekawitha, a former Nassau County Girl Scout Camp that became Suffolk County preseved land in 2007.

The road turns west as it enters Southport. Just after it runs between Red Creek Pond and Wehrman Pond, it splits into Upper Red Creek Road and Lower Red Creek Road, where they both enter Hubbard County Park, and turn south, although not simultaneously. Upper Red Creek Road continues westward a bit longer until it approaches the east bank of Hubbard Creek and then turns south, while Lower Red Creek Road remains inland and runs closer to Penny Pond. Both segments will remain in Hubbard County Park for the rest of their existence. Upper and Lower Red Creek Roads intersect once again, north of the bridge over Hubbard Creek, before the road turns southwest as it finally terminates at New York State Route 24.

The name Cranberry Hole Road continues until the intersection with Bendigo Road (former CR 33A and unmarked CR 74). From there it becomes Promised Land Road. Both segments run along the northern edge of Napeague State Park, and continues to run through the park even as it turns southeast onto Napeague Meadow Road. Promised Land Road continues northeast as Lazy Point Road where it enters "downtown" Napeague.

The route crosses the LIRR Montauk branch for the second time, but this time it is at an at-grade crossing, where it enters a section of Napeague formerly known as East Hampton Beach, before finally terminating at Montauk Point State Parkway.

Babylon Village maintains the section of Suffolk CR 34 within the village. Here, CR 34 is the eastern terminus of Suffolk CR 12 on the southeast corner of Babylon Station, and after crossing under the Babylon-Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road, instantly intersects the western terminus of Suffolk CR 50.

Outside of the village limits, CR 34 crosses over Sunrise Highway as part of Exit 40, which is primarily for Route 231 to the east. Though CR 34 terminates at New York State Route 231, in Deer Park, just south of the interchange with the Southern State Parkway, Deer Park Avenue continues northward as NY 231 well into Dix Hills.

County Route 35

County Route 35
Location: Dix Hills-Halesite
Length: 7.60 mi[1] (12.23 km)
Existed: 1930 (1970)–present

Suffolk County Route 35 serves as a de-facto extension of New York State Route 231. It spans from the northern terminus of NY 231 and runs northwest to NY 110 in Halesite. The road originally included Route 231 and Suffolk CR 34, until 1970, when the New York State Department of Transportation turned the segment between Southern and Northern State Parkways into the temporary alignment of NY 231, before the hopeful transfer of the road onto the formerly proposed Babylon-Northport Expressway. The south end of CR 35 & 66 and the north end of NY 231 was intended to include a formerly proposed North Deer Park Avenue Spur leading to the unbuilt BNE.[2]

Route description

The segment of Suffolk CR 35 between NY 231 and New York State Route 25 is four-lanes wide and is known as Deer Park Road West, as opposed to Suffolk CR 66, which is known as Deer Park Road East. CR 35 is the last intersection with Old Country Road before both move north and intersect with NY 25. After this CR 35 narrows down to two lanes, where it becomes Park Avenue and turns to the northwest at the 2nd Precinct of the Suffolk County Police Department before intersecting with CR 86 near Dix Hills. At the north end of Dix Hills Road, the road narrows down to two lanes and contains frontage roads for residences. From there the road serves as the east end of Mapelwood Road where it briefly multiplexes with New York State Bicycle Route 25A until it reaches the west end of Little Plains Road, which is a block away from Little Plains Park.

The road briefly becomes four lanes wide again at the intersection of CR 11, but narrows back down to two lanes. Continuing northwest, CR 35 has a grade crossing of the Port Jefferson Branch of the Long Island Rail Road, which has been the site of many tractor-trailer accidents, and was the original location for the first W10-5 Low Ground Clearance warning sign. The next major intersection after this crossing is Broadway, which runs west towards Huntington Station. Here CR 35 becomes an unconventional two-lane divided highway. The divider ends at Tasman Lane. As it goes downhill, CR 35 passes by three Jewish Centers and the Town of Huntington's Hilaire Woods preserve before approaching Huntington Arts Cinema at the southwest corner of NY 25A. North of NY 25A CR 35 runs along the eastern edge of Heckscher Park, then makes a northeast turn at Sabbath Day Path and passes Huntington Memorial Hospital before reaching NY 110.

County Route 38

County Route 38
Location: Southampton-Sag Harbor
Length: 25.00 mi[1] (40.23 km)
Existed: 1931–present

County Route 38 is the main road along the north shore of the South Fork of Long Island in the Town of Southampton.

Route description

Suffolk County Road 38 begins in the Village of Southampton at the Nugent Street, Hampton Road, and South Main Street, although it actually begins as North Main Street, which branches off on its own and enters the North Main Street Historic District. CR 38 continues northwest onto North Sea Road before that can happen.

Beneath the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road It then passes by the Southampton Post Office, and later intersects New York State Route 27/County Route 39. After this intersection, it continues northwest towards Tuckahoe, where it approaches the northern terminus of Sandy Hollow Road (Suffolk CR 52), and moves directly north.

In North Sea, CR 38 makes a sharp right turn from North Sea Road to Noyack Road with a right-turn ramp. From here, it passes by North Sea Fire Department, and then take a more northerly turn between North Sea Harbor and Fish Cove where it meets a similar intersection with a right-turn ramp at Indian Road. The road tries to go east, but soon curves northeast before the intersections of Majors Path, then Old Sag Harbor Road, and even further northeast as it approaches Water Mill Towd Road. Just after this, CR 38 runs north again and then encounters a marina and restaurant on the western edge of Wooley Pond on the opposite side of Turtle Pond Road. Just north of this intersection, is the creek leading to the pond that the residential dead end street is named for.

After Deerfield Road, CR 38 makes a sharp easterly turn in Noyack. It runs along the northern edge of Noyack Golf and Country Club, and the southern edge of the Morton National Wildlife Refuge, but turns slightly northeast again before approaching the intersection of Millstone Road. This direction is interrupted momentarily, when it moves to the east again at a popular swimming hole Trout Pond Park, where the road actually runs below lake level. It moves back to the northeast when it passes Ruggs Path and another restaurant, bar, and marina.

CR 38 takes a sudden turn from the northeast to the southeast at Elm Street and Bay Avenue, where it passes by a restaurant, general store and local supermarket. The edge of Noyack Bay is in close site and reach as the road gets ready to approach the at-grade interchange wiuth Noyack-Long Beach Road the southeast corner of which is at Payne's Creek. CR continues along the west edge of Payne's Creek until it makes a left turn at a wye at Story Hill Road and moves east. This continues until it makes a right turn at Cove Road West and heads southeast again, passing by Noyack Cemetery on the south side, and along part of the west bank of Sag Harbor Cove on the north side.

Noyack Road ends at the intersection of Brick Kiln Road, but CR 39 makes a sharp left turn onto Brick Kiln and goes northeast. From there, it joins Suffolk CR 79 onto Main Street as they head northeast towards their shared terminus with New York State Route 114.

History

See also: List of Suffolk County (New York) Road proposals#County Road 38

As far back as the 1930s the road was planned to be extended along the north shore of the South Fork of Long Island to the Amagansett-Promised Land area.[3] Besides the existing segments of North Sea Road and Noyack Road, the new segment was to begin at the intersection of Brick Kiln Road then continue southeast until it reaches Town Line Road, where it would curve east. The SCR 38 extension would gradually move southeast again, running along the headwaters of Northwest Creek and Three Mile Harbor, through Barnes Hole, and Devon until reaching Promised Land Road (Suffolk CR 33), which it would replace until it reached NY 27 (Montauk Point State Parkway) in the East Hampton Beach section of Napeague. Though the extension was dropped due to anti-highway sentiment, the official description still includes the extension, thus the 25 miles.[1]

The multiplex between NY 27 & CR 39 was only meant to be temporary.

Like Suffolk CR 38, Suffolk County was planning to extend CR 39 east of Flying Point Road through Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike at the proposed Sunrise Highway Extension, and if necessary as a substitute for the Sunrise Highway Extension. These plans also date back to the 1930s, and included what became part of the proposed Sunrise Highway extension (See also List of Suffolk County (New York) Road proposals#County Road 39.).

Location: East Hampton-Fireplace
Existed: 1931(1961)–present

Suffolk County Route 40 is North Main Street in East Hampton, which is the namesake for the North Main Street Historic District and Three Mile Harbor Road north of CR 41.

Route description

Suffolk CR 40 begins on New York State Route 27, at the aforementioned North Main Street Historic District, which spans as far north as the bridge under the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Railroad. This bridge contains provisions for a pair of southbound lanes, although it is currently being used as a bikeway. The first major intersection north of the historic district is Cedar Street which leads to Cedar Point County Park, and the second one is Suffolk County Road 41 (Springs-Fireplace Road) in Freetown, which also leads motorists into Gerard Park.

A fork in the road for Springy Banks Road is the southern border Three Mile Harbor, both the waterway and the former hamlet. This road leads motorists northwest to Lafarges Landing and Sammy's Beach, while CR 40 continues to the northeast as it passes by East Hampton Marina, Three Mile Harbor Boat Yard, and Gardiner's Marina. Other marians on the same side include Halsey's Marina and Shagwong Marina, although in these two cases, the water doesn't come as close to the road.

Curving slightly to the east, the road enters the hamlet of Madistone Park, which contains sites such as Edwards Cemetery and then Camp Blue Bay, a Girl Scout Camp run by the Nassau County chapter of the Girl Scouts of America. Just as CR 40 intersects Isle of Wight Road and enters Fireplace, New York, Three Mile Harbor Road makes a sharp right onto Hog Creek Road and terminates at Suffolk County Road 45.

County Route 45 is primarily known as Old Stone Highway (Springs-Amagansett Road) and Springs Fireplace Road.

Route description

Suffolk CR 45 begins at New York State Route 27 as Abrahms Landing Road, where it instantly crosses the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road at Amagansett Station, and immediately makes a left-turn onto Old Stone Highway (Springs-Amagansett Road), at the South Fork Country Club. The road slants to the north as it approaches the intersection of Town Road and then to the northeast. From here, the road continues into Springs, New York, at a former hamplet known as Barnes Hole, where it encounters Red Dirt Road, Barnes Hole Road, and the south end of Neck Path. The road continues to move northeast but suddenly curves northwest in order to avoid Accabonac Cliff, which is accessible from a side road called Louise Point Road. CR 45 intersects at Neck Path again east of the former hamlet of Kingstown, but this time it merges with the road and then immediately turns onto Accabonac Road. Curving back to the northwest, CR 45 passes by Springs General Store, then over a creek leading to Pussys Pond, and instantly intersects a fork in the road at Parsons Place, which leads to the historic Charles Parsons Blacksmith Building as well ans the NRHP-listed Ambrose Parsons House. In between both roads are the Springs Cannon, Ashawagh Hall, and for CR 45, the Springs Community Presbyterian Church on the opposite side. In front of the church Springs-Amagansett Road/Old Stone Highway curves to the right, until it reaches a wye at Springs-Fireplace Road, thus serving as the terminus of Suffolk CR 41.

This segment of Springs-Fireplace Road is where one can find the NRHP-listed Pollock-Krasner House and Studio. The rest of the road runs along the northwest shore of Accabonac Harbor, along preseved land such as the Meadow Lake and Kaplan Meadows Sanctuaries. CR 45 makes a sharp left turn onto Hog Creek Road, and heads north again, while Springs-Fireplace Road continues towards Fireplace in Gardiners' Bay, as well as a former hamlet called Gerard Park. Along Hog Creek Road, CR 45 skirts the border of Springs and Fireplace, until the intersection of Kings Point Road where it makes a sharp left onto Three Mile Harbor Road and terminates at Suffolk County Road 40.

County Route 46

Main article: County Route 46 (Suffolk County, New York)

Suffolk County Route 46 is the county designation for William Floyd Parkway, a four-lane highway spanning from Smith Point County Park to almost near Wading River, New York.

County Route 46A

Suffolk County Route 46A was the original designation for the alignment along the west side of Brookhaven National Laboratory between Yaphank-Moriches Road and south of the unnumbered interchange with New York State Route 25. It was eventually integrated as part of Suffolk County Road 46 while the old Suffolk CR 46 (Upton Road) was abandoned to both the lab and private developers.


County Route 47

County Route 47
Location: Copiague-South Farmingdale
Length: 3.77 mi[1] (6.07 km)
Existed: 1931–present

Suffolk County Route 47 is the designation for Great Neck Road from New York State Route 27A in Copaigue through New York State Route 110 in East Farmingdale, New York until it reaches the Nassau-Suffolk County Line in Farmingdale, New York.

Route description

Suffolk CR 47 is almost entirely two lanes with a center-left-turn lane, with the exception of the southern terminus at New York State Route 27A. Aside from the Copaigue Fire Department and a school or two, the street is almost entirely residential until the intersection of Hollywood Avenue and becomes a commercial strip, especially as it approaches CR 12(Oak Street), which once carried a streetcar line between Amityville and Babylon. One block later CR 47 runs beneath Copiague Station.

The commercial zoning ends at the intersection of Campagnoli Avenue. Scattered commercial operations can be found near the interesction with CR 2(Dixon Avenue) which spans from Amityville to Half Hollow Hills, but for the most part, the road remains primarily residential.

As the road runs along the west side of Copiague Middle School, it approaches the cloverleaf interchange with NY 27(No exit numbers), and becomes a two-lane divided highway. After the interchange with NY 27, the road resumes its status as a two-lane corridor with a center-left-turn lane and shifts from north and south to northwest and southeast at the intersection of Bethpage Road. The next major intersection is Albany Avenue, which spans from downtown Amityville to the Sisters of St. Dominic Motherhouse Complex.

Prior to reaching the intersection of NY 110, Suffolk CR 47 runs over the Southern State Parkway and a former gas station that existed in the median until 1985. It also shared an interchange with the Southern State until the 1950s.[7] Though Suffolk CR 47 continues north of NY 110, it ceases to be a Suffolk County Road one block away, when it crosses the Nassau County Line and becomes South Main Street in both South Farmingdale and Farmingdale.

Suffolk County Route 50A was reserved for the unbuilt Union Boulevard Extension between Oakdale and Sayville. This 1964 proposal was to run mostly along the north side of the Montauk Branch of the LIRR, terminating east of the low railroad bridge over Montauk Highway in Sayville.

County Route 50B

Suffolk County Route 50B was Oak Street, Railroad Avenue, and Trolley Line Road from Amityville at the Nassau-Suffolk County Line to Babylon at Deer Park Avenue. [8] Today, it is Suffolk CR 12.
