Rockaway Boulevard is a major road running diagonally through the southern half
of Queens. It begins at Eldert Lane, a small one-way street that runs along the
border between Queens and Brooklyn. For its first few blocks, Rockaway Boulevard
is a small two-lane undivided road. When it crosses Atlantic Avenue, it widens
to four lanes. Rockaway Boulevard runs southeast through Queens, crossing the
Van Wyck Expressway (I-678) and the Belt Parkway. Just south of the parkway,
the Queens segment of the Nassau Expressway (NY 878) ends at Rockaway Boulevard.
Rockaway Boulevard becomes a six-lane divided road at this point and continues
southeast to the Queens-Nassau border, where it becomes Rockaway Turnpike
(Nassau CR 257).
