Route Description
The alignment of Glen Cove Road starts at Peninsula Boulevard in downtown Hempstead, but is known as Clinton Road until its intersection with Old Country Road in Carle Place. It curves from when it intersects with NY 25 to I-495 to steer clear of the Meadowbrook Parkway and the Northern Parkway. Within Old Westbury the road is concurrently signed as Guinea Woods Road.
Soon after its intersection with NY 25A in Greenvale, it widens to a divided highway and assumes the NY 900B designation, although the reference markers refer to it as NY 904. At its intersection with NY 107 the alignment assumes that route's number and name. After another 1.4 miles (2.3 km) the divided highway alignment and the NY 107 designation forks to the left as Pratt Boulevard while Cedar Swamp Road forks to the right as a surface street. The road eventually ends at its intersection with Brewster Street near downtown Glen Cove.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
