Conte Memorial Highway, as running from Amityville north through Huntington to Halesite, passing through Melville along the way.[9] The Long Island Expressway (I-495) forms Melville's southern edge, and the Northern State Parkway — like the state's other limited-access parkways, maintained by the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation rather than the Department of Transportation, under Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Law Section 13.03 — passes through the hamlet as well.[9] Before either of the state's controlled-access roads existed, William K. Vanderbilt Jr.'s privately built Long Island Motor Parkway opened in 1908 and ran through the Town of Huntington's then-rural interior near Melville and Dix Hills before its 1938 closure.[7]"
