Route description

NY 24 is unsigned for its first half-mile or so in Queens as one-way couplets via Hollis Court Blvd and 212th Street. It then follows Jamaica Avenue for a block before turning onto Hempstead Avenue. Upon crossing the Nassau County line it becomes Hempstead Turnpike, one of the major thoroughfares of the county. It runs through many communities in the towns of Hempstead and Oyster Bay, among them the villages of Hempstead and Farmingdale and the hamlets of Elmont (accessing Belmont Racetrack along the way), East Meadow, and Levittown. It ends on NY 110 shortly after entering Suffolk County. Nassau County is a suburban county in the New York Metropolitan Area east of New York City in the U.S. state of New York. ...

The turnpike becomes Conklin Street in Farmingdale. Ironically, the one place between the Nassau/Queens border and the Bethpage/Farmingdale border in which the strip is not known as Hempstead Turnpike is when it is surrounded by the village of Hempstead itself, where it is Fulton Avenue. Nationally-known Hofstra University which straddles Fulton Avenue and occupies land in both Hempstead Village and the hamlet of Uniondale, uses the address 1000 Fulton Avenue. Hofstra University is a private institution of higher learning located in Hempstead, Long Island, New York (USA) founded in 1935 on the basis of the estate of wealthy lumber magnate William Hofstra and widow Kate Williams Hofstra. ...

The eastern section begins some forty miles to the east, still in Suffolk County, at Exit 71 of Interstate 495 in a rural section of the Town of Brookhaven in Calverton. It is multiplexed with Suffolk County Route 94 (and is county maintained) for several miles, passing several Suffolk County offices and a County jail just outside Riverhead in the neighboring Town of Southampton. After a traffic circle just outside downtown Riverhead, State Route 24 drops the County Road 94 designation. It continues southeast from Riverhead, first through the area known as Flanders, and then through Sears Bellows County Park, now home to Long Island's famed "Big Duck" (which sits directly on Route 24). The highway crosses NY 27 just before its terminus at Montauk Highway/County Road 80 in Hampton Bays.

History

One road from New York City to the Hamptons

Before 1941, NY 24 ran uninterrupted from New York City to Hampton Bays. NY 24 went along its present route on Hempstead Turnpike and Conklin Street, then continued east along the LIRR corridor to Manorville. (It went along Long Island Avenue east to Brentwood, Suffolk Avenue east to Islandia, Johnson Avenue east to Ronkonkoma, Union Avenue east to Holtsville, Long Island Avenue east to Yaphank, Moriches-Middle Island Road to Manorville, Weeks Avenue-South Street-Hot Water Street through Manorville, and the current route of CR 51 to Riverhead. At Riverhead, NY 24 then continued along its present "eastern route." With the onset of World War II, the route of NY 24 in Suffolk County was interrupted due to security concerns. Specifically, the Fairchild Republic plant in East Farmingdale and the Grumman Naval Defense Weapons Plant in Calverton had been constructed along the route. [1]

Miscellanea

Formerly proposed Republic Bypass was an attempt to reunite the two NY 24's in the 1960's

• Between 1958 and 1962, when the western section was relocated to the Long Island Expressway, Hempstead Turnpike was designated New York State Route 24A.
• In the 1960's there was a proposal to build a "Republic Bypass" around the current terminus, as part of a plan to re-link the western and eastern segments.^[2]

• Other proposed extensions built by Suffolk County were Suffolk Avenue(SCR 100), Furrows Road, Peconic Avenue, and the formerly proposed Central Suffolk Highway(SCR 90)^[3]. The right-of-way for the Central Suffolk Highway can be found beneath the Suffolk CR 101 bridge over the Main Line of the Long Island Rail Road.^{[citation needed]}

• Before the eastern segment of NY 24 was extended along Suffolk CR 94 between Suffolk CR 104 and the Long Island Expressway, it shared a brief concurrency with NY 113 both of which terminated at NY 25.

• NY 24 is one of two major New York State routes that is split into two segments. The other is New York State Route 42, the palindrome of NY 24.
