This meme is not entirely true (go figure)
Its a photo of the Vanderbilt Motor Parkway (Long Island Motor Parkway) Only a small portion of the road was incorporated into the ROW of the Long Island Expressway, much farther east in Commack/Islandia
There are remnants of the road all over long Island.. Some of the Toll houses exist still as private residence's.. numerous overpass exist in Queens, and a greenbelt exists on part of the ROW..
