New York State Route 25C (NY 25C) was an east–west state highway on Long Island in New York in the United States. The route began in Queens at an intersection with NY 25 and paralleled NY 25B for just over 4 miles (6 km) before ending at a junction with NY 25B in western Nassau County. NY 25C was assigned in the 1930s and removed in 1970. Part of the route's former routing is still state-maintained as New York State Route 900F, an unsigned reference route.

Route description

NY 25C began at the intersection of Springfield Boulevard and Union Turnpike in the Queens neighborhood of Queens Village. Here, the route connected to NY 25, which entered from the west on Union Turnpike and left to the south on Springfield Boulevard. In Queens, as well as near Lake Success in Nassau County, NY 25C utilized Union Turnpike, a road often recognized more by its name than by its designation.[5] At the east end of the Union Turnpike at Marcus Avenue, it continued southeastward along Marcus Avenue to Hillside Manor, where the route ended at a junction with NY 25B.[6]

History

The NY 25C designation was assigned in the mid-1930s to the portion of Marcus Avenue between Hillside Avenue (NY 25B) and the Northern State Parkway.[1][2] In the 1940s, the northernmost portion of the route was realigned to follow Union Turnpike west into Queens, where it ended at Springfield Boulevard (then NY 25).[7][8] NY 25C remained unchanged[5] until January 1, 1970, when the designation was removed.[3] The portion of the route in Nassau County between the New York City line and Marcus Avenue is now NY 900F, an unsigned reference route.[9] Reference markers along this portion of highway read "25C", reflecting the former designation of the route.[10]
