 Harvesting the River: : : Northern Cross -- Illinois State Museum
In 1837, the Illinois Internal Improvement Act was passed with funding for rail lines - the Illinois Central Railroad's Galena to Cairo line, and crossing it, the Northern Cross connecting Danville, Springfield, and Quincy and the Southern Cross from Mt. Carmel to Alton (in a bid to compete with St. Louis, Missouri).

The name Northern Cross reflects the fact that the northern half of the state of Illinois was still very sparsely settled in the 1830s.

 Cross River Drive (Suffolk CR 105)
The new Cross River Drive was to allow motorists traveling between the North Fork and the South Fork to avoid the Riverhead traffic circle.
Because the proposed highway was to cross the Peconic River wetlands, construction of Suffolk CR 105 had to be approved by the Town of Riverhead, the Town of Southampton, the Suffolk County Environmental Council, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The extension of Cross River Drive was to veer west from Suffolk CR 104 (Quogue-Riverhead Road), cross Suffolk CR 51 (East Moriches-Riverhead Road) near the Riverhead campus of Suffolk County Community College, and end at Suffolk CR 111 (Captain Daniel Roe Highway) in Manorville.
