[edit] Route description
Much of the route through Hicksville and Jericho overlaps NY 107, at which point it becomes known colloquially as the "One oh Six - One oh Seven". A large portion of the route, including the concurrency, is a multi-lane, divided highway. It runs through both the relatively dense, middle-class suburbs of southern and central Nassau County and the affluent, sparsely populated suburbs of the north shore. Along the way, it accesses the Hicksville Long Island Rail Road station and the Broadway Mall, also in Hicksville.
Immediately after an unnumbered cloverleaf interchange with Jericho Turnpike, NY 107 breaks away from NY 106 and continues as a two-lane highway as it heads for the city of Glen Cove, while NY 106 continues as a four-lane highway. At some point north of NY 25A, the road narrows down to two lanes on its way to Oyster Bay.
South of the route's terminus at NY 105 (which is also that route's western terminus), Newbridge Road continues to Bellmore as an unnumbered county road.
[edit] History
NY 106 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York.[1] The route originally continued south along Newbridge Road to Merrick Road (then part of NY 27A) in Merrick;[3] however, it was truncated to end at NY 105 by 1970.[4]
[edit] Major intersections
The entire route is in Nassau County.
