New York State Route 113 (NY 113) is an east–west
Spackenkill Road was initially maintained by Dutchess County. Jurisdiction of the highway was transferred to the state of New York in 1980, at which time it was designated NY 113. Only minor realignments have occurred since.
Route description
NY 113 begins at a cloverleaf interchange with US 9 in the Dutchess County town of Poughkeepsie. West of the interchange, NY 113 continues as a local road into the IBM Poughkeepsie main plant. NY 113 heads northeast along IBM Road and over US 9 to a junction with Spackenkill Road. The portion of Spackenkill Road west of NY 113 serves as an alternate route to US 9 north from NY 113 west. NY 113 merges with Spackenkill Road, taking on its name as it heads eastward.[3]

History
Spackenkill Road initially followed what is now IBM Road through the interchange with
At some point, Spackenkill Road was realigned to follow its pre-interchange routing to US 9, which had been known as Old Spackenkill Road.[citation needed] The IBM Road name, which originally applied only to CR 48, was then extended north along the former Spackenkill Road.[citation needed]
Previous designation proposal for NY 113
In the 1960s and 1970s, there were talks of building a north-south highway on Long Island between Port Jefferson and Westhampton Beach.[5] As per the 1970 Nassau-Suffolk Regional Planning Board recommendation, the ownership of this route would have been transferred from Suffolk County to NYSDOT, resulting in the route being renamed as New York State Route 113. However, only a small segment was ever constructed, and the route was never transferred to the New York State DOT, resulting in the route maintaining its CR 111 designation.[5]
Major intersections
The entire route is in Dutchess County.
