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:
“It is surprising with what impunity and comfort one who has always lain in a warm bed in a close apartment, and studiously avoided drafts of air, can lie down on the ground without a shelter, roll himself in a blanket, and sleep before a fire, in a frosty autumn night, just after a long rain-storm, and even come soon to enjoy and value the fresh air.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“This island is made mainly of coal and surrounded by fish. Only an organizing genius could produce a shortage of coal and fish at the same time.”
—Aneurin Bevan (1897–1960)
