Long Island
- At the eastern terminus of I-495 (the Long Island Expressway) in Riverhead, there are stub ramps for a continuation of the expressway northward across the Long Island Sound, and even space for an Old Country Road to I-495 north cloverleaf ramp.
- NY 135 has stubs at both the northern and southern ends. At the northern terminus of NY 135, there is an incomplete cloverleaf interchange with NY 25. NY 135 was to continue north to I-95 in Port Chester via a bridge over Long Island Sound. At the southern end, stubs are visible that would have connected to the Wantagh State Parkway. Lots emptied in anticipation of the road are also visible but the right of way has been since sold back to Nassau County to develop as a multi-use trail.

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or island:
“One of the ministers of Truro, when I asked what the fishermen did in the winter, answered that they did nothing but go a- visiting, sit about, and tell stories, though they worked hard in summer. Yet it is not a long vacation they get. I am sorry that I have not been there in winter to hear their yarns.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The very best place to be in all the world is St. Mary’s parish, Jamaica. And the best spot in St. Mary’s is Port Maria, though all of St. Mary’s is fine. Old Maker put himself to a lot of trouble to make that part of the island of Jamaica, for everything there is perfect.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
