Highway system

County Route 106 (CR 106) is a 7.8-mile (12.6 km) east–west

CR 72
. CR 106 had one spur route, CR 106A, which was recently decommissioned.

The route was originally designated County Highway 416 in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1930, it became the easternmost part of New York State Route 210 (NY 210), a state highway continuing westward into Orange County. In 1982, NY 210 was truncated to end in Greenwood Lake, and its former routing east of NY 17 was replaced by CR 106 in Orange and Rockland counties. CR 106 in Orange County was decommissioned on January 1, 2014, when maintenance was transferred to the Palisades Interstate Park Commission.

Route description

CR 106 begins here in Stony Point, and heads west providing an intersection with the Palisades Parkway.

CR 106 begins at the Orange County line in

CR 72.[1]

CR 106's western terminus at the Rockland/Orange County line.

CR 106 proceeds east from here where it then intersects

Lake Welch on a causeway over the southern side of the lake. CR 106 then begins its trek out of Harriman State Park and into the town of Stony Point.[1]

Immediately after entering Stony Point, CR 106 intersects

CR 98 where CR 106 makes a left turn. CR 106 then proceeds east toward its intersection with the Palisades Parkway
at Exit 15 and the last residential exit northbound on the PIP, with everything north of this point being exits within Harriman and Bear Mountain.

Just after its intersection with the PIP, the road intersects former Rockland County Route CR 106A

CR 47, and CR 33 as Central Drive. CR 106 comes to an end shortly after these intersections at US 9W and US 202 in downtown Stony Point, about a mile west from the Hudson River and the Stony Point Marina.[1]

History

A few NY 210 shields still stand in Rockland County on side roads approaching CR 106.

CR 106 originated in 1824, when the road was chartered for the New Turnpike and headed from

1930 New York State Route renumbering. In 1910, when the park opened, the road became known as the Southfields Road. Three years later, it became part of the Seven Lakes Drive. Three more years later, the route became known as County Highway 416. In 1919 and 1920, the western section of the road was reconstructed. After a bridge was built to cross a river in 1923, a new route, making up part of the original Warwick Turnpike, became NY 17A.[2]

The responsibility for maintaining NY 210 was turned over to the county in 1982. The road was replaced with CR 106.[2][3] CR 106, which was both in Orange and Rockland counties, had its Orange County segment decommissioned on January 1, 2014 when they traded maintenance to the Palisades Interstate Park Commission.[4]

CR 106A

CR 106A was a 0.1-mile (0.16 km) spur which began at CR 106 and ended at a dead end near CR 69 in Stony Point.[5]
