Route description

NY 224 west at the Schuyler–Chemung county line in Van Etten

NY 224 begins at an intersection with

County Route 8 (CR 8; Skyline Valley Drive), where it turns southeast. A short distance into the bend, NY 224 leaves the village of Montour Falls for the town of Montour and drops the moniker of Clawson Boulevard. NY 224 becomes a two-lane rural roadway, crossing a valley via a long bridge before bending eastward once again near Havana Glen Road. After Havana Glen, NY 224 becomes a residential through street in Montour, intersecting with Speedway Road, where it enters the village of Odessa.[3]

In Odessa, NY 224 bends northeast near Speedway Road, gaining the West Main Street moniker. NY 224 runs along the northern end of the village, passing north of the combined buildings of H.A. Hanlon Elementary School and Odessa-Montour Junior/Senior High school, both part of the Odessa-Montour Central School, and intersecting with the village continuation of

CR 11 twice, once via a spur road and once directly in the hamlet of Alpine.[3]

Through Alpine, NY 224 is a two-lane residential street, paralleling homes in both directions before leaving at the second intersection with CR 11. After departing Alpine, NY 224 bends even further to the south, crossing the railroad right-of-way once again, entering the hamlet of Alpine Junction. In Alpine Junction, NY 224 intersects with

CR 135. After the hamlet of Cayuta, NY 224 bends southward once again, remaining a two-lane forest highway.[3]

NY 224 west, signed as cardinal north, through the town of Van Etten

After a bend near the railroad grade, NY 224 proceeds eastward through Cayuta, passing spurious homes as it winds through the town. NY 224 intersects with

CR 14 (Swartwood Drive), which connects NY 224 to the hamlet of Swartwood.[3]

NY 224 continues southeast through Van Etten, where it intersects with the eastern terminus of

CR 13 (Langford Street) before intersecting with NY 34 (Gee Street). The intersection with NY 34 serves as the eastern terminus of NY 224, as the right-of-way continues east to the Tioga County line as NY 34.[3]

History

NY 224 was assigned as part of the

NY 53 from the mid-1920s to 1930.[2][4][5] NY 223 was truncated in the early 1950s to end at NY 224 in Swartwood. The former routing of NY 223 from Swartwood to Van Etten became an extension of NY 224.[6][7]
