Simeon Woods Road
State highway on Long Island, New York
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simeon Woods Road is a state highway within the Town of Islip in Suffolk County, on Long Island, New York, United States. It is designated, in its entirety, as the unsigned New York State Route 901A (NY 901A).
Route description
Simeon Woods Road provides access to the Suffolk County Government Complex and the New York State Office Building from Interstate 495 (I-495, Long Island Expressway).[1][2] It begins at Express Drive North, the northern (westbound) service road of the Long Island Expressway. It then continues north-northeast, soon intersecting County Route 6 (CR 6, Rabro Drive) at a signalized intersection. It then continues north-northeast before eventually curving towards the north, before intersecting Kings Highway, where the NY 901A designation terminates.[1]
North of Kings Highway, the road becomes Raoul Wallenberg Drive, providing access to various government buildings and to NY 347/NY 454.[1][2]
History
In the 1970s, much of Simeon Woods Road was proposed by New York State to be upgraded to serve as a major spur highway, connecting the Long Island Expressway and the Smithtown Bypass (NY 347).[3][4][5] However, these plans to turn Simeon Woods Road into a spur highway were eventually scrapped, and the NY 347 designation was instead extended westward along NY 454 to the interchange with the Northern State Parkway.[5]
Major intersections
The entire route is in Hauppauge, Suffolk County.
