Route description

NY 119 eastbound in downtown White Plains

NY 119 begins at an intersection with US 9 in the village of Tarrytown, near an interchange with the New York State Thruway (I-87 and I-287). The route heads east, following the four-lane White Plains Road through a mostly residential area of the village. At the village line, the highway widens to six lanes ahead of a more commercialized area of the town of Greenburgh. NY 119 continues through this area to the western edge of the village of Elmsford, where it meets I-87 and I-287 at an interchange just east of where the two Interstate Highways split. NY 119 continues into Elmsford, becoming Main Street and narrowing to four lanes as it connects to the Saw Mill River Parkway at an interchange just west of the village center.[3]

The route heads across Elmsford on a northwest–southeast alignment, passing several densely populated blocks of homes and meeting

divided highway.[3]

NY 100 leaves NY 119 just inside the White Plains city limits at Central Avenue; however, NY 119 continues on, paralleling the

one-way couplet through downtown White Plains.[3] Eastbound NY 119 is routed along Main Street and is maintained by the city of White Plains, while westbound NY 119 is routed on Hamilton Avenue and is maintained by Westchester County as the unsigned County Route 52 (CR 52).[4] The couplet and the route end at junctions with NY 22 (Post Road) on the eastern edge of the downtown district.[1][3] NY 119 connects to I-287 and NY 127 at its eastern terminus via the 0.4-mile (0.6 km), unsigned CR 71 (known locally as Westchester Avenue).[4] The portion of the route west of the one-way couplet in White Plains is maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT).[5]
