The main artery for driving to The Hamptons remains that of Sunrise Highway to County Road 39 to Route 27/Montauk Highway. If you are traveling to Westhampton Beach, Quogue or Hampton Bays, consider yourself lucky because congestion usually begins right before Southampton. A summer drive out to the South Fork usually requires patience as traffic gets quite backed up on County Road 39, and such gridlock will likely continue as the popular Cops N Cones program is no more in use.

The towns of Southampton and East Hampton are working together to alleviate your practically guaranteed traffic headaches. From a Highway Advisory Radio Network to the brand new South Fork Commuter Connection, steps are being taken to ease congestion until a second, permanent eastbound lane is added to the highly used roadway.
