Route Description
The Loop Parkway begins at an at-grade intersection with Lido Boulevard on the eastern end of Lido Beach in the neighborhood of Point Lookout. The parkway proceeds north as a four-lane divided roadway, crossing over Reynolds Channel, a section of the South Oyster Bay. After crossing Reynolds Channel, the Loop crosses onto Alder Island and into Jones Beach State Park, bending eastward along the marshy island in South Oyster Bay. The only intersection or interchange along the parkway on Alder Island is two U-turn ramps near the western end of the island. The parkway then crosses over South Oyster Bay once again, this time via a drawbridge, crossing onto Meadow Island. After a short northeastern straight on Meadow Island, the Loop Parkway crosses onto the mainland of Nassau County and enters an interchange with the Meadowbrook State Parkway. The eastbound right-of-way crosses over the parkway before turning north and merging into the Meadowbrook northbound lanes.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
