Route 110: The Business Artery of Long Island

The intersection of Route 110 and Old Country Road in Melville is a grade-level intersection with a traffic signal, where the divided highway NY-110 crosses Old Country Road.

Transportation Role of the Corridor

Route 110 is the busiest north-south highway on Long Island. It connects the Long Island Expressway and Southern State Parkway, handling commuter traffic from both shores of the island. The six-mile stretch from Northern State to Southern State has become the region's most active office and retail market. According to 1954 data, approximately 100,000 vehicles crossed the Nassau-Suffolk county line annually, with a design capacity of 10,000 vehicles per hour.

Melville Business Hub

The Route 110 corridor is called Long Island's premier business hub. It is home to the US headquarters of Nikon Corporation, Arrow Electronics, OSI Pharmaceuticals, and dozens of other companies. The address 2 Corporate Center Drive on Route 110 is considered one of the most prestigious in Suffolk County. Office development density along the highway is among the highest on the island.

Evolution of the Area

Until the 1960s, the area of the modern intersection was agricultural — fields and farms. Construction of the Long Island Expressway and Northern State Parkway between 1965 and 1972 transformed the area into a transportation hub. The Northern State Parkway bridge over Route 110 was completely reconstructed: the old structure was demolished, and the new bridge was designed with elements of the original Robert Moses style. The project cost 60 million dollars and allowed NY-110 to be expanded to three lanes of traffic.

Traffic Volume and Congestion

The Route 110 segment at Old Country Road experiences heavy traffic loads. The divided highway with private driveways to commercial properties and signalized intersections creates conditions for congestion.

Peak loads occur near the Long Island Expressway, Northern State Parkway, and the Melville office district.
