WMS Map: The end of the Syosset - Oyster Bay Expressway
About The end of the Syosset - Oyster Bay Expressway ....
Right of way purchased and cleared a mile further north but canceled after Robert Moses and later Nelson Rockeller could never accomplish the elusive Long Island Sound Bridge due to environmental concerns and community opposition. If built as Robert Moses proposed, would have connected with the Cross Westchester Expressway. Some of those ramps are kind of unless unless you want to make a U turn.
Helpful Hint: While I suggest you look on blog for a downloadable PDF Map, you should be able to print or save this map by clicking the print button on the map above.
