Route description

The road is two lanes for its entire length. It begins at CR 73 just north of its crossing with the Long Island Railroad Main Line tracks. After cutting a slice through part of downtown Riverhead, County Route 43 heads off in an almost straight path toward the North Shore. After crossing CR 73, County Route 43 enters the farm fields that characterize much of Riverhead Town. The road crosses CR 105 just before its end at Sound Avenue.
