 To aid this, ownership and maintenance of CR 78 was transferred to the New York State Department of Transportation on March 29, 1972, receiving the designation of NY 454.The state immediately expanded NY 454 to six lanes, with three in each direction from Holbrook to the terminus of NY 347.In 1977, the state designated the portion of the highway in Hauppague as both NY 454 and NY 347 after it became clear that the Hauppauge Spur of the Long Island Expressway would not be constructed.
