Nassau County Route 15 is a 4.02-mile (6.47 km), unsigned county road in Nassau County, New York. It travels between Port Washington Boulevard (NY 101) in Port Washington at its north end and Old Northern Boulevard (CR D71 / CR 7A) in the Village of Roslyn at its southern end. [3] [4] [5] A small portion also passes through the Village of Flower Hill. [6]
This route travels along Beacon Hill Road and West Shore Road (also known as RoslynWest Shore Road), and is maintained in its entirety by the Nassau County Department of Public Works. [3] [7]
The CR 15 designation for West Shore and Beacon Hill Roads can be traced back to 1959, when the Nassau County Department of Public Works created a numbered highway system as part of their "Master Plan" for the county highway system. This plan marked CR 15 along its current alignment. [7]
County Route 15 is classified as a minor arterial highway by the New York State Department of Transportation and is eligible for federal aid. [8] [9]
Starting from its northern end, County Route 15 starts in Port Washington at the intersection of Beacon Hill Road, Main Street, and Port Washington Boulevard (NY 101). [3] [8] [9] From there, it continues east-southeast through Port Washington, along Beacon Hill Road. It then makes a sharp turn to the south, and becomes West Shore Road. CR 15 then becomes a divided highway and passes the North Hempstead Beach Park (also known as Bar Beach) and the Harbor Links Country Club. Continuing south, the road soon becomes undivided once again and passes the Town of North Hempstead Solid Waste Center, the Hempstead Harbor Shoreline Park, and the Harbor Park Industrial Park. It then enters the Village of Flower Hill and the village's Harbor Village housing development, along with the historic George Washington Denton House. [6] [11] It then passes underneath the William Cullen Bryant Viaduct (NY 25A) and enters Roslyn. [5] Just south of the bridge, CR 15 passes Mott Avenue (CR D63), and then intersects with Old Northern Boulevard (CR D71 / CR 7A), where it terminates. [3] [8] [9]
Nassau County Route 15 is roughly four miles (6.4 km) in length. [3] [8] [9] [1]
