[edit] Proposed routing

Beginning east of Northern State Parkway's Exit 38 at the formerly proposed norther terminus of Bethpage State Parkway(a destination that the Bethpage Parkway never reached), Caumsett State Parkway would've curved to the Northwest then crossed Woodbury Road at a half-diamond interchange, then run parallel to it as it encountered a partial cloverleaf interchange with New York State Route 25. After this the road would have moved further away from Woodbury Road then go under Syosset-Woodbury Road and over the Port Jefferson Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. From there the road was to curve slightly to the east.[1]

After entering Suffolk County, it was to go over New York State Route 108, which it would then run parallel to and high along the east coast of Cold Spring Harbor. As NY 108 ends, it would've then run parallel New York State Route 25A, and cross over that road in an unorthodox interchange. Continuing along the coast, it was to curve right into the interior of West Neck. There it would cross over West Neck Road without an interchange, then over Lloyd Harbor as it enters Lloyd Neck and Caumsett State Historic Park, terminating just after the Sound Shore Parkway.[1]
