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:
“As long as she is young and personable, every woman may cherish the dream that she may leap up the social ladder and dim the sheen of luxury by sheer natural loveliness; the few examples of such a feat are kept before the eye of the public.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“We approached the Indian Island through the narrow strait called “Cook.” He said, “I ‘xpect we take in some water there, river so high,—never see it so high at this season. Very rough water there, but short; swamp steamboat once. Don’t paddle till I tell you, then you paddle right along.” It was a very short rapid. When we were in the midst of it he shouted “paddle,” and we shot through without taking in a drop.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
