New York State Route 11A (NY 11A) is a 13.11-mile (21.10 km) state highway in Onondaga County, New York, in the United States. It is an alternate route of U.S. Route 11 (US 11), beginning at an intersection with NY 80 in the town of Tully just west of where NY 80 crosses US 11. The route heads to the north, running along Onondaga Creek and passing through the Onondaga Reservation before ending at a junction with US 11 in Nedrow, a neighborhood just south of the Syracuse city limits. NY 11A was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York and has not been substantially altered since.
Route description
NY 11A begins west of the
Across the town line, NY 11A intersects Otisco Road (
Inside the Onondaga territory, the route initially serves only a handful of scattered homes separated by long stretches of dense forests. After 2 miles (3.2 km), however, the road bends to the northeast and enters the town of Onondaga and the hamlet of Indian Village, the main population center of the reservation. NY 11A quickly runs through the linear community, crossing Hemlock Creek on its way to another lightly developed, mostly wooded stretch along the east bank of Onondaga Creek. The route passes only a handful of isolated homes before ending at an intersection with US 11 on the northern edge of the reservation. The junction is located just south of the hamlet of Nedrow, located along US 11 between the Onondaga territory and the Syracuse city line.[3]
History
On November 12, 1908, the state of New York awarded a contract to rebuild 4.44 miles (7.15 km) of roads in Onondaga County, including the section of modern NY 11A between Solvay Road and the Tully–LaFayette town line.[5] The project cost $47,094 to complete (equivalent to $1.6 million in 2024), and the reconstructed highways were added to the state highway system on November 20, 1909.[5][6] The remaining state-maintained portions of what is now NY 11A were taken over by the state in the mid-1920s.[5][7] NY 11A was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to its current alignment,[2] with the northernmost part of the highway using roads maintained by the Onondaga Nation in order to connect to US 11.[7] On June 27, 2006, the bridge carrying NY 11A over Hemlock Creek in Indian Village was closed, allowing construction to begin on a new, $2 million bridge.[8] The project was completed by the end of the year.[9]
