Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Route 110 in Melville so congested?
Melville is one of Long Island's most significant corporate office park concentrations, with dozens of major company headquarters and regional offices lining Route 110 (Broad Hollow Road). This creates massive morning and evening rush peaks as tens of thousands of workers commute to and from offices simultaneously. The concentration of corporate campuses means the rush hour on Route 110 through Melville is more compressed and intense than almost anywhere else in Suffolk County.
What are the most dangerous spots on Route 110 in Melville?
The intersections of Route 110 with Pinelawn Road, Walt Whitman Road, Old Country Road, and Round Swamp Road are the most frequently cited accident locations on Route 110 through Melville. The LIE interchange at Exit 49 (Route 110/Amityville Road) is also a significant accident cluster due to high merge speeds and limited ramp sight distance.
Is there a hospital near Melville?
Huntington Hospital (Northwell Health) at 270 Park Avenue in Huntington is approximately 10–15 minutes north of Melville via Route 110. Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip is accessible southbound on Route 110. For major trauma, Stony Brook University Hospital is the regional Level I facility, approximately 20 minutes east on the LIE.
