Cross-Island Parkway – Long Island Expressway Interchange
A false color image of this Long Island interchange that we've probably all sat in traffic, trying to get on it. An interesting mix of ramps and cloverleafs.

Long Island Solar Farm
The Long Island Solar Farm (LISF) is a 32-megawatt solar photovoltaic power plant built through a collaboration including BP Solar, the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), and the Department of Energy. The LISF, located on the Brookhaven National Laboratory site, began delivering power to the LIPA grid in November 2011, and is currently the largest solar photovoltaic power plant in the Eastern United States. It is generating enough renewable energy to power approximately 4,500 homes, and is helping New York State meet its clean energy and carbon reduction goals.
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.
Cross River Drive – Long Island Pinelands
The Long Island Pine Barrens share many of the characteristics to Albany Pine Bush, although they tend to be flatter and have somewhat different species. One noticeable part of the Pine Lands is how sprawl creeped right up to them and through them before it was stopped.
