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:
“There is a road that turning always
Cuts off the country of Again.
Archers stand there on every side
And as it runs time’s deer is slain,
And lies where it has lain.”
—Edwin Muir (1887–1959)
