Long Island Crossing




The idea included building at least one of three bridges.

1. A bridge connecting Rye in Westchester County , New York , with Oyster Bay on Long Island . This bridge would be an extension of Interstate 287 onto Long Island via the existing Seaford Oyster Bay Expressway in Nassau County

2. A bridge connecting New Haven , Connecticut , with Shoreham, New York , on Long Island . This bridge would be an extension of Interstate 91 which would continue through Long Island via the already existing William Floyd Parkway.

3. A causeway and bridge connecting Orient Point , New York , with Rhode Island along a series of islands between the North Fork of Long Island and an eastern terminus at Interstate 95 in Rhode Island .

All three ideas were discussed in the 1960s and 1970s, but all were cancelled.
