List of Suffolk County (New York) Road proposals

List of Suffolk County (New York) Road proposals

Throughout the 20th Century, Suffolk County in the U.S. state of New York planned to upgrade and improve many of its roads. Most of the construction of these roads took place between the 1940s and 1980s. However, many of them were unfinished, unbuilt or never upgraded due to fiscal concerns and a rash of anti-highway opposition in the late 20th Century. Those that were unbuilt or unfinished are listed as follows.

County roads

County Road 2

with another potential unorthodox interchange with the Babylon-Northport Expressway.

County Road 8

near Bayliss (Bailey) Road.

County Road 24

County Road 24 (formerly Longwood Road) was planned as a Farmingville-Upton Turnpike, along Granny Road, Ashton Road, part of East Bartlett Road and Longwood Road.

County Road 25

at the western terminus of the County Route 98 (Suffolk County, New York)
Moriches Bypass(Suffolk CR 98)
. The project was never built, and the Suffolk CR 25 designation eventually faded into oblivion.

County Road 26

(Nesconset-Port Jefferson Highway).

County Road 38

County Road 38 (North Sea Road) was proposed as a four-lane highway running along the shore of the Great Peconic Bay, Little Peconic Bay, Shelter Island Sound, Gardiner's Bay, and Napeague Bay. This proposal dates as far back as the 1930's, but continues to show up on maps well into the 1980's.

County Road 39

(Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Road).

County Road 44

leading to a bridge to Shelter Island.

County Roads 50A and 50C

in Babylon, along Park Avenue. Both were to be re-designated as CR 50.

County Road 55

, which was more than likely to be named Exit 70A.

County Road 59

outside of the East Hampton Historic District.

County Road 74

(Springs-Amagansett Road).

County Road 75

.

County Roads 83 and 83A

.

County Road 90

.

County Road 91

, that connected the Main Branch in Manorville and Montauk Branch in Eastport.

County Road 94

.

County Road 99

.

County Road 100

exists to this day.

County Road 101

(East Main Street), and then continue northeastward to just south of the intersection of William Floyd Parkway and Longwood Road. The second would follow the existing Patchogue-Yaphank Road into "downtown" Yaphank, eliminating the two triangle intersections with Mill Road, then East & West Main Street, then heading eastward toward the aforementioned route to CR 46 and Longwood Road. Another proposal would lead it to the north side of the former Parr Meadows race track.

County Road 102

.

County Road 103

.

County Road 105

near Manorville. This was to be the third link in the formerly proposed Central Suffolk Highway project.

County Road 107

(Broadway-Greenlawn Road).

County Road 108

.

County Road 110

.

County Road 111

(Port Jefferson-Westhampton Beach Highway) was to be a direct route from the north shore to the Hamptons. Only a portion of the road was built between Manorville and near Eastport. The road essentially became merely a four-lane version of Eastport-Manorville Road"', the original two-lane road it replaced.

Other roads

Roe Boulevard

While the upgrading of NY 27 (Sunrise Highway) was delayed near Patchogue, there were occasional rumors of an effort to upgrade Roe Boulevard West, Roe Boulevard East, Vernon Avenue and Washington Place as a four-lane highway in order to take up the slack. As Sunrise Highway was finally upgraded between 1988 and 1993, the proposal to widen these roads was scrapped.
