EspañolSAGTIKOS STATE PARKWAY
(Redirected from Sagtikos Parkway)
The 'Sagtikos State Parkway' is a long north-south limited-access parkway in Suffolk County on Long Island in New York. The southern terminus of the route is at the Heckscher State Parkway and the Southern State Parkway in West Islip. The northern terminus is at the Northern State Parkway, where the parkway continues northward as the Sunken Meadow State Parkway. The parkway comprises the southern half of 'New York State Reference Route 908K', an unsigned reference route, with the Sunken Meadow State Parkway forming the northern portion. Commercial vehicles are restricted from using the freeway-standard highway, a restriction in place on most parkways in New York State.
As with many parkways in the Tri-State area, the Sagtikos is substandard, having no shoulders, tightly curved ramps, and a lack of adequate acceleration/deceleration lanes.
The parkway was opened in September, 1952 at a cost of $8 million and closed the highway loop on Long Island.
The interchange with Northern State Parkway and Sunken Meadow State Parkway was built where a widened and curved median used to be. A Parkway service area was in the median at the terminus of Sagtikos State Parkway and the former terminus of Northern State Parkway.
Exit S1 northbound was originally Suffolk CR 67 (the Long Island Motor Parkway) until it was replaced by Interstate 495 (the Long Island Expressway). It had a northbound off-ramp, a northbound on-ramp and a southbound on-ramp located next to the underpass. Only the northbound on-ramp remains active.
