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:
“Emancipation should make it possible for woman to be human in the truest sense. Everything within her that craves assertion and activity should reach its fullest expression; all artificial barriers should be broken, and the road towards greater freedom cleared of every trace of centuries of submission and slavery.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
