 In 1966, the state of New York acquired both CR 80 and CR 85 and designated the new, unified route as NY 347.Suffolk County hoped that by transferring jurisdiction to the state, it would be easier to upgrade the road into the limited-access highway as was originally intended.The CR 80 and CR 85 designations were later reused for portions of Montauk Highway, then part of NY 27A, that were transferred from the state to the county.
