County Route 46 (CR 46) is a major county road in eastern Suffolk County, New York, in the United States. It runs north and south from CR 75 in Smith Point County Park (part of the Fire Island National Seashore) to New York State Route 25A (NY 25A) near the border of Shoreham and Wading River. The road is known as William Floyd Parkway along its entire length, and is named after William Floyd, a Long Island native and a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence. == Route description == CR 46 begins at a traffic circle with CR 75 in Smith Point County Park within the town of Brookhaven. A short distance north of the traffic circle, CR 46, known as William Floyd Parkway, crosses past a large parking lot for Smith Point as well as several tennis courts and a basketball court. The route then proceeds to cross the Great South Bay on a bascule lift bridge and soon onto mainland Long Island. After crossing onto the mainland, CR 46 becomes a divided four-lane boulevard with a wide grass median past several bayside residential communities. Bending north through several residential neighborhoods of Brookhaven, the route becomes a limited access parkway through area, crossing into the community of Shirley near Coraci Boulevard. CR 46 crosses northeast through Shirley, passing a large commercial strip through the village, passing an at-grade interchange with Stuart Road and Stuart Drive in Shirley. Just north of Tudor Road, the route crosses past several intersections with circles in the center of Shirley, soon crossing the Long Island Rail Road Babylon Branch at-grade next to the Mastic-Shirley station. Expanding to eight lanes, CR 46 crosses a junction with the Montauk Highway (CR 80). The parkway condenses to six lanes for a short distance northwest of the junction before reaching a cloverleaf interchange with NY 27 (the Sunrise Highway) in Shirley. After the Sunrise Highway, CR 46 crosses north as a four-lane boulevard through Brookhaven.〔 Passing Brookhaven Airport, CR 46 passes a lighted interchange with the airport access road just south of a campus for Dowling College. A distance north, the route crosses an intersection with Moriches–Middle Island Road, crossing over a lone railroad track near an interchange for Ramsey Road. Just north of Ramsey Road, CR 46 enters a large cloverleaf with exit 68 of the Long Island Expressway (I-495). After the interchange, William Floyd Parkway becomes a four-lane boulevard through a wooded section of Brookhaven, soon reaching the Yaphank Woods Road development. Crossing a diamond interchange with Longwood Road, the parkway bends northeast through a mix of wooded and residential sections. Just as CR 46 crosses the Peconic River, the route bends northward and enters a cloverleaf interchange with NY 25 (Middle Country Road).〔 Now in the Ridge section of Brookhaven, the parkway becomes residential, passing multiple developments and an entrance to Brookhaven State Park near the junction with Whiskey Road. A large center median divides the lanes as the route crosses along the western extents of Brookhaven State Park, crossing into East Shoreham near the border with Wading River. Upon leaving the park, CR 46 passes a United States Army Reserve Center and enters an interchange with NY 25A. This interchange marks the northern terminus of CR 46 and William Floyd Parkway.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「County Route 46 (Suffolk County, New York)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
