History

NY 151 was assigned as part of the

NY 381.[8] NY 381 was supplanted by a rerouted NY 43 in the late 1960s.[9][10]

In the late 1970s, NY 151 was rerouted off High Street and onto a new roadway, Barracks Road, in the vicinity of Rensselaer. As a result, the roadway no longer entered the Rensselaer city limits.[11][12] It was re-extended into the city by way of Third Avenue in the late 1990s when NY 43 was rerouted to meet I-90 at the new exit 8 west of Defreestville. Like NY 43 before it, NY 151 terminated at an interchange linking Third Avenue to US 9 and US 20.[13][14]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Rensselaer County.
