Central Park Historical Society Marker: Central Avenue/LIRR Motor Parkway Bridge
The Central Park Historical Society has placed two markers in Bethpage honoring the Long Island Motor Parkway. The first marker was placed on the north side of Central Avenue at the site of the longest Motor Parkway bridge.
Enjoy,
