Merrick Road, named Merrick Boulevard inside New York City, is an east–west urban arterial in Queens and Nassau County, New York, in the United States. It runs east from the Queens neighborhood of Jamaica through Merrick to the line between Nassau and Suffolk counties, where it becomes Montauk Highway. The easternmost portion of Merrick Road is signed as part of New York State Route 27A (NY 27A). At one time, the entire length of Merrick Road was signed as NY 27A; the entire portion within Nassau County is currently designated as the unsigned County Route 27 (CR 27). It is an old road, forming part of one of the original paths across southern Long Island, once known as Montauk Highway the whole way.

Famous quotes containing the word road:
“If any ambitious man have a fancy to revolutionize, at one effort, the universal world of human thought, human opinion, and human sentiment, the opportunity is his own—the road to immortal renown lies straight, open, and unencumbered before him. All that he has to do is to write and publish a very little book. Its title should be simple—a few plain words—”My Heart Laid Bare.” But—this little book must be true to its title.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
