County Route 36 (Suffolk County, New York) - County Route 26

County Route 26

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

CR 26 begins at NY 25 just southwest of the eastern terminus of Sound Avenue. It begins as New Suffolk Avenue, 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 lined 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 NY 25.
