New York State Route 17 (NY 17) is a major state highway that extends for 397 miles (638.91 km) through the Southern Tier and Downstate regions of New York in the United States. It begins at the Pennsylvania state line in Mina and follows the Southern Tier Expressway east through Corning to Binghamton and the Quickway from Binghamton east to Woodbury, where it turns south to follow the Orange Turnpike to the New Jersey state line near Suffern, where it connects to New Jersey Route 17. From the Pennsylvania border to the village of Waverly and from Binghamton to Windsor, NY 17 is concurrent with Interstate 86 (I-86). Eventually, the entire east–west portion of NY 17 from the Pennsylvania border to Woodbury will become I-86 as projects to upgrade the route to Interstate Highway standards are completed.

At 397 miles (639 km), NY 17 is the longest state route in New York, and is the second-longest highway of any kind in the state, beside the

I-99 and US 15 near Corning, I-81 in Binghamton, and I-84 near Middletown. The portion of NY 17 in the vicinity of Waverly is actually located in Pennsylvania; however, it is maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). A very small portion of the route is concurrent with the Thruway in the area of Hillburn for less than 0.5 miles (0.80 km) and is therefore maintained by the New York State Thruway Authority
, but otherwise NY 17 is maintained by NYSDOT.

The route was assigned in 1924, extending from Westfield to Suffern via at-grade highways. It was moved onto the Quickway and the Southern Tier Expressway as sections of both were completed from the 1950s to the 1980s. Two of NY 17's suffixed routes, NY 17C and NY 17M, follow substantial portions of NY 17's pre-freeway alignment. In 1998, all of NY 17 between the Pennsylvania state line and Harriman was designated as "Future I-86". The westernmost 177 miles (285 km) of the route was designated as I-86 one year later, and the designation has been gradually extended eastward as sections of NY 17 were improved to Interstate Highway standards. Prior to the I-86 designation, NY 17 was part of a 3-state Route 17 along with New Jersey Route 17 and the former Pennsylvania Route 17 (PA 17).

Route description

Pennsylvania to Elmira

Route marker used along the Southern Tier Expressway
Main article: Interstate 86 (Pennsylvania–New York)

NY 17 begins as a freeway at the point where I-86 crosses the New York–Pennsylvania border in Mina, Chautauqua County. I-86 heads westward from there to its western terminus at I-90. I-86 and NY 17 continue eastward through the Southern Tier, encountering NY 426 (exit 4) a short distance from the state line prior to meeting NY 76 (exit 6) south of Sherman. East of exit 8 (NY 394), I-86 and NY 17 cross Chautauqua Lake and follow the lake shore eastward to Jamestown, where it connects to NY 60 at exit 12 due north of the city. East of the city, the freeway meets US 62 at exit 14 and is joined by the old Erie Railroad line, which parallels the freeway as it heads across southern New York.

Between exits 17 and 18 (

Salamanca. Near downtown Salamanca, I-86 and NY 17 meet US 219 (exit 21). US 219 joins the freeway east to exit 23 near Carrollton, where it splits from I-86 and NY 17 and heads toward Bradford, Pennsylvania, forming the eastern edge of the state park as it heads south. Meanwhile, the freeway continues east to Olean, where it meets NY 417 (a previous alignment of NY 17) at exit 24 west of town and NY 16
(exit 27) north of the area.

Past Olean, the route drifts northward away from Pennsylvania toward

Corning to the city of Elmira

Near downtown Binghamton, NY 17 goes around the side of Prospect Mountain at what is locally known as "

concurrently. NY 17 splits from I-81, the Erie Railroad and the Susquehanna River to the east into Stilson Hollow
; from this split (exit 75) to its end, most of NY 17 does not follow the Erie Railroad, which crosses into Pennsylvania several times.

At the end of Stilson Hollow, NY 17 heads over a summit and into the valley formed by the

Gulf Summit. The highway and railroad head east along Oquaga Creek to Deposit (exit 84), where they turn southeast along the West Branch Delaware River, where NY 17 briefly becomes a surface road. A gap in the freeway stretches from here to just short of Hancock (exit 87), the place the West Branch joins with the East Branch Delaware River. The Erie Railroad continues southeast along the combined Delaware River, while NY 17 turns east along the valley formed by the East Branch, either closely following or built directly over the abandoned New York, Ontario and Western Railway[6] to Liberty

Harriman to New Jersey

NY 17 heads southwest from the Quickway as a surface road, passing through the village of

County Route 19 (CR 19) and passes by the Red Apple Rest, a former restaurant and roadside attraction.[9]

Past the hamlet, the route heads back into the park and intersects with

CR 72 by way of a modified trumpet interchange.[7]

Outside of Sloatsburg, NY 17 winds its way as an expressway southeasterly along the Ramapo River and the Thruway through the town of Ramapo to the hamlet of the same name, based just north of NY 17's junction with NY 59. Here, NY 17 turns to the southwest, merging onto the Thruway southbound at exit 15A, traversing a sparsely developed area of the village of Hillburn. About 0.75 miles (1.21 km) south of merging onto the Thruway, NY 17 passes to the south of the village center as it approaches I-287. At exit 15A for New Jersey, NY 17 leaves the Thruway and merges with I-287 southbound and proceeds to the New Jersey state line, where it connects to New Jersey's Route 17.[7] An old alignment of NY 17 in Hillburn, now called Old Route 17 used to go around the Thruway instead of merging onto it.

History

Origins

Before the automobile

Map of the Liberty Highway

From Binghamton to Corning, NY 17 follows the course of the Great Bend and Bath Turnpike, which was legislated in 1808 to continue the Cochecton and Great Bend Turnpike (US 11) through the Susquehanna Valley. The road ran from the Pennsylvania state line at Great Bend through Binghamton, Owego, and Elmira to Bath. In its day, it was a major route of travel through the Susquehanna Valley.[10] Today, the road is designated US 11 from Pennsylvania to Binghamton, then NY 17C to Waverly, NY 352 into Corning, and NY 415 to Bath. The at-grade sections of NY 17 in Orange County follow the Orange Turnpike south of Southfields and the New Windsor and Cornwall Turnpike to its north.

Liberty Highway and Legislative Route 4

The original routing of NY 17, from

Erie.[11]

Legislative Route 4 began at legislative Route 18 (current

CR 20 before returning southward on what is now NY 19 to access the village of Wellsville.[12][13]

NY 17 at Liberty, New York

From Wellsville to

Binghamton, Route 4 followed either local roads that were bypassed or upgraded into the Southern Tier Expressway, namely modern NY 17 and Chemung and Tioga CR 60 from Elmira to Waverly, NY 17C between Waverly and Owego, NY 434 from Owego to Vestal, and NY 17C and Riverside Drive (via NY 26) from Vestal to Binghamton.[12][13]

Route 4 exited the city on

Windsor to Deposit). East of here, it used parallel roads instead: modern "Old Route 17" (Delaware CR 17 and Sullivan CRs 179A to 174) from Deposit to Monticello, Sullivan CRs 173 to 171 between Monticello and Bloomingburg, and Orange CR 76 and NY 17M from Bloomingburg to Harriman. At Harriman, Route 4 broke from the Liberty Highway and proceeded northeast over current US 6 and NY 293 to Highland Falls, where it ended at legislative Route 3 (modern US 9W).[12][13] The portion of the Liberty Highway between Suffern and Harriman became part of legislative Route 39-b in 1911;[13][14] however, this designation was removed on March 1, 1921.[15] Another auto trail, the West Shore Route, also followed this section of the Liberty Highway, but proceeded north from Harimman along modern-day NY 32.[16]

Designation and early changes

The original exit 98, a signalized intersection in Parksville. A nearly 3-mile (4.8 km) bypass around the hamlet opened in 2011 to replace the junction.

When New York first signed its state highways with route numbers in 1924, much of legislative Route 4 was designated as NY 17.

Ceres) and the Andover–Jasper segment (now via Greenwood).[20]

NY 17 initially reached New Jersey by way of Suffern's Orange Avenue (now

Route 2 at the state line. By 1932, an alternate route of NY 17 between the New Jersey state line at Hillburn and the hamlet of Ramapo on the western bank of the Ramapo River was designated as NY 339. The route largely followed the path of modern I-287 and the New York State Thruway between the two locations. It initially became a local road upon crossing into New Jersey;[21] however, Route 2 was realigned c. 1933 to connect to NY 339 instead of NY 17.[22] In the mid-1930s, the alignments of NY 17 and NY 339 south of Ramapo were flipped, placing NY 17 on the western route.[23][24] By 1938, NY 17 was relocated onto a new highway through the Hillburn village limits. While the southern half of the new road utilized the old highway, the northern half veered to the west of both Hillburn and old NY 17, bypassing the village before rejoining the old road south of Ramapo.[25]

Conversion to expressway

Main article: Interstate 86 (Pennsylvania–New York)

The explosive growth of the

New York State officials planned a four-lane replacement, the first free long-distance expressway in the state and one of the earliest in the United States. It would replace intersections with well-spaced access ramps, separate grades with flyovers, and allow safe travel at up to 65 miles per hour (105 km/h).[27]

NY 17's former alignment in the town of Red House, abandoned and banned from traffic

The first segment of the new highway extended from

Thomas Dewey in 1953,[30] and the first sections of the Southern Tier Expressway were completed in the mid-1960s. At the time, NY 17 followed the entirety of two of the four open sections (Steamburg to Salamanca and Owego to the Broome County line) and part of a third (Corning to Lowman via Elmira).[29][31]

The bridge over the Allegheny River in Red House, due to be replaced

As more continuous pieces of the expressway opened during the 1970s, NY 17 was realigned onto them, with much of NY 17's old alignment becoming NY 394, NY 417, or NY 17C. By 1980, the expressway was complete from Bemus Point to Binghamton except for two areas near Salamanca and Corning. Although NY 17 continued to extend northwestward along its original alignment from Bemus Point to Westfield, both highways were also designated as parts of NY 430 and NY 394 in anticipation of the completion of the Southern Tier Expressway west of Chautauqua Lake, which NY 17 would be rerouted to follow.[32][33] This segment was built in stages during the 1980s as a super two highway;[34][35] it was widened to four lanes in 1997.[36] The portions of the freeway in and around Salamanca and Corning were completed in the late 1980s[34][35] and mid-1990s, completing the conversion of NY 17 into a continuous expressway from the Pennsylvania state line to Harriman.[37][38]

On December 3, 1999, the westernmost 177 miles (284.85 km) of NY 17 were designated as part of I-86,[39] a new route that had been written into law a year earlier. As legislated, I-86 will eventually extend eastward along the length of both the Southern Tier Expressway and the Quickway to the New York State Thruway in Harriman once both highways are brought up to Interstate Highway standards.[40] I-86 was extended east to Horseheads in 2004[39] and Elmira in 2008;[41] additionally, a 10-mile (16 km) stretch of NY 17 in central Broome County was designated as I-86 in 2006.[39] In September 2013, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) approved a 15.8-mile (25.4 km) extension of the I-86 designation from exit 56 in Elmira to the Tioga county line.[42] The remainder of NY 17 west of I-87 will be designated as I-86 after the remaining at-grade sections are eliminated and the highway is brought up to Interstate Highway standards.[43]

Other developments

The New York State Thruway Authority converted the Harriman Toll Barrier at the interchange of NY 17 and I-87 (exit 16 on I-87) to cashless tolling. This included the creation of a solar photovoltaic energy generating facility (solar park) to help power the toll and maintenance facilities in Harriman, Woodbury, Spring Valley, and Nyack. Cashless tolling began on the night of September 27, 2018. This was a part of Governor Andrew Cuomo's goal to convert the entirety of the New York Thruway to cashless tolling.[44][45]

The new exit 125 before completion

On August 9, 2019, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law that a portion of NY 17 was to be designated the "Dennis ‘Matt’ Howe Memorial Highway" from exit 63 in the hamlet of Lounsberry to exit 62 in the village of Nichols. On March 18, 2019, Howe passed away from injuries sustained when a tractor-trailer collided with his DOT truck as he and others were performing highway safety work on NY 17. The signs were unveiled and the dedication ceremony was held on October 29, 2019.[46]

In November 2019, NYSDOT completed the reconstruction of exit 131 along NY 17. As part of the project, a diverging diamond interchange was built at the exit to improve access between NY 17 and NY 32. Also as part of the project, NY 32 was widened to three lanes to each way; CR 64 / Nininger Road was extended to Woodbury Common Premium Outlets; and exit ramps were built from NY 32 north and NY 32 south to meet Nininger Road at two respective traffic circles. In addition, a new park-and-ride was built, and the ramp from NY 17 west to Woodbury Common was demolished.[47][48][49]

In December 2020, NYSDOT completed construction of a new exit 125, which was built to accommodate the new Legoland New York. As part of the project, a four-ramp parclo was built, which replaced the prior exit 125, located 4,000 feet (1.2 km) west. NY 17 was expanded to three lanes in each direction between exits 124 and 125. Harriman Drive was expanded to two lanes in each direction between the exit and Legoland's entrance.[50][51]

Future

Widening in Orange and Sullivan counties

NYSDOT has requested proposals for plans to widen NY 17 between the Thruway in Orange County and the town of Liberty in Sullivan County. The widening is supported by the 17-Forward-86 coalition, several state senators, and various businesses and organizations in the area.[52][53][54]

Suffixed routes

NY 17 and NY 17J marked on a 1948 topographical map

NY 17 has had 13 suffixed routes bearing 11 different designations. Five are still assigned to their routes, while eight have been removed or renumbered. A fourteenth,

NY 17L, was proposed in 1939 as part of current NY 97, but canceled.[55]
