New York State Route 347 (NY 347) is an east–west state highway located in Suffolk County, New York, in the United States. It connects the Northern State Parkway in Hauppauge to NY 25A in Mount Sinai. The route serves as a southern bypass of Smithtown and as a direct link between Nesconset and Port Jefferson. Along the way, NY 347 intersects NY 25 in Nesconset and Nicolls Road (County Route 97 or CR 97) in Lake Grove. The westernmost of NY 347 is concurrent with NY 454 while the portion northeast of NY 25 parallels NY 25A, which follows a more northerly alignment through the town of Brookhaven than NY 347. The highway was built by Suffolk County in the 1950s and designated as part of two county routes. It gained a single designation in 1966 when the state of New York assumed ownership and maintenance of the highway and designated it as NY 347. Several proposals to extend or improve the highway have been developed in the years since; however, none have been implemented, mostly due to community opposition. == Route description == NY 347 begins at an interchange with NY 454 and the Northern State Parkway in the town of Hauppauge. This interchange also serves as the eastern terminus of the Northern State Parkway. Proceeding eastbound, NY 347 and NY 454 are immediately concurrent on Veterans Highway, crossing as a six-lane arterial boulevard through the town of Smithtown, passing south of Blydenburgh County Park. Forestwood Park soon begins nearby, while the two routes continue eastward before the two routes fork at an interchange in Smithtown. NY 347 bends to the northeast on Smithtown Bypass, intersecting with County Route 76 (CR 76; Townline Road). The route proceeds northeastward as a four-lane commercial arterial highway, crossing an at-grade interchange with NY 111 (Hauppauge Road). NY 347 continues northeast as Smithtown Bypass, entering the Nesconset section of Smithtown. In Nesconset, NY 347 becomes a four-lane wooded arterial before passing east of Village of the Branch, where homes surrounded the highway from connecting roads. The route becomes commercial once again, NY 347 intersecting with CR 16 (Terry Road). The route bends to the east, crossing through Nesconset, then to the northeast and enters an at-grade interchange with NY 25 (Middle Country Road). Crossing into the Saint James section of Smithtown, NY 347 continues to the northeast as the four-lane commercial arterial, now known as Nesconset Highway. NY 347 soon leaves Smithtown for Lake Grove, where it expands to six lanes, crossing a short time into Brookhaven before re-entering Lake Grove. In the second entrance of Lake Grove, NY 347 intersects with the northern terminus of CR 97 (Nicolls Road), which continues south as an eight-lane arterial.〔 NY 347 continues to the northeast into Brookhaven once again, passing north of Percy B. Raynor Memorial Park. Crossing power lines, the route enters the hamlet of Terryville, and soon into Port Jefferson Station, where it intersects with NY 112 (Patchogue Road). After passing near the yard for the Port Jefferson Branch of the Long Island Rail Road before merging into the right-of-way with NY 25A (Hallock Avenue) in Mount Sinai.〔 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「New York State Route 347」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
