New York State Route 25D (NY 25D) was a state highway located on Long Island in the U.S. state of New York. It was originally the designation of Horace Harding Boulevard, Nassau Boulevard, and Powerhouse Road, the route of which the Long Island Expressway (Interstate 495) took over as it was constructed in the 1950s. The NY 25D designation along the LIE was replaced by NY 24 upon the completion of the expressway through Queens and western Nassau County in 1958.
NY 25D, as of 1950, began at an intersection with NY 25 near the junction with NY 24 (Queens–Midtown Expressway). Known as Horace Harding Boulevard, NY 25D went east through western Queens, crossing through the Rego Park section of the city. East of Rego Park, the route crossed an interchange with exit 8 of the Grand Central Parkway. The route crossed through Flushing Meadows Park, paralleling to the north of NY 25 and the Grand Central Parkway.
Continuing northeast through eastern Queens, NY 25D continued along Horace Harding Boulevard, reaching the Cross Island Parkway near Alley Pond Park. The route crosses through the southern end of Douglaston, running northeast to the Nassau County. Paralleling the Northern State Parkway, the route ran northeast along local streets, crossing through the North Hills section of the county. Crossing through the area, the route made a bend south through Old Westbury. The route soon reached an intersection with NY 25, marking the eastern terminus of NY 25D.
