Route description

Beginning at Merrick Road as Massapequa-Hicksville Road, it veers left in a northwesterly direction at the intersection of Broadway, which moves northeast, both before intersecting with Sunrise Highway.
Continuing through North Massapequa after its intersection with the east end of NY 105, it encounters two interchanges, first with the Southern State Parkway, then with Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway, before veering to the left again in Plainedge, south of Hempstead Turnpike. After its brief entry into the Town of Hempstead Route 107 is renamed South Broadway, where it passes by the former Grumman Bethpage Airport. Shortly after crossing under Hicksville Station as North Broadway where the Main Line and Port Jefferson Branch of the Long Island Rail Road split up, Route 107 overlaps NY 106. The two routes encounter Broadway Mall, as well as the interchanges with Northern State Parkway and Long Island Expressway, also in Hicksville. The Parkway and Expressway interchanges are so close together that the distance between them can be measured not in miles, but in feet.
Immediately after an unnumbered cloverleaf interchange with Jericho Turnpike, NY 106 breaks away from NY 107 and continues as a four-lane divided highway as it heads for Oyster Bay, while NY 107 narrows down to two lanes on its way to Glen Cove, until reaching and joining up with Greenvale-Glen Cove Road.

Glen Cove Arterial Highway

The northernmost segment of NY 107, known as the 'Glen Cove Arterial Highway', clearly had limited-access aspirations. In the mid-1960s, this segment was constructed as a bypass of Glen Street. Some have even gone as far as to suggest the possibility of leading it to one of two bridges to Rye, New York across the Long Island Sound.
