New York State Route 225 (NY 225) is a

hamlet of Caton. The route begins in Big Flats and follows a generally east–west alignment across rural areas to Caton, where it turns to run in a north–south direction toward Corning. Development along the highway increases once it enters the Corning suburb of South Corning
, and the rest of the route serves residential neighborhoods in South Corning and Corning. NY 225 is two lanes wide for its entire length; however, part of the highway in South Corning also has a center turn lane.

The Caton–Corning segment of the route was acquired by the state of New York in 1911 and designated as part of

NY 44 (now NY 414) as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. It received its current designation in 1949 when NY 414 was truncated to begin in Corning. The highway leading east from Caton to Big Flats was county-maintained from the 1930s through the 1970s, even though it had been part of NY 13
from the 1930 renumbering to the 1940s. The state of New York assumed maintenance of the highway by 1986, and the new state highway became an extension of NY 225.

Route description

NY 225 begins at an intersection with

County Route 36 (CR 36, named Dutch Hill Road). The creek valley ultimately leads to the Chemung–Steuben county line, where NY 225 becomes known as Hendy Hollow Road.[3]

NY 225 northbound in Caton

Across the county line in the town of

CR 120 (Tannery Creek Road). NY 225 turns northwest at this intersection, becoming Caton Road as it follows Caton Creek out of the hamlet.[3]

The change in direction brings the route into another rural valley, which follows a winding, generally northward course for 4 miles (6 km). As the highway runs along the gully, it meets

CR 44 east of the village limits.[3]

As Park Avenue, NY 225 is initially a two-lane road with a center turn lane. The route parallels the Chemung River to the

Corning city line, where the center turn lane ends and the highway reverts to a two-lane undivided road. Within the city limits, NY 225 continues to serve mostly residential neighborhoods while traversing the southeastern part of the city. The route proceeds to the eastern edge of downtown Corning, at which point it veers north onto Conhocton Street. NY 225 ends just one block later at an intersection with Denison Parkway (NY 352).[3] The 0.45 miles (0.72 km) of NY 225 within Corning are maintained by the city, while the rest of the route is maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT).[1][4]

History

NY 225 northbound in South Corning

The roadway leading north from

U.S. Route 44.[9][10]

Most of NY 13 between Caton and Big Flats was county-maintained as part of

reference route extending from Golden Glow Heights Drive to Water Street (modern NY 352).[15][16]

NY 414 was truncated on January 1, 1949, to begin in downtown Corning. Its former routing from Caton to Corning was redesignated as NY 225 as part of the change.[2] On April 1, 1980, ownership and maintenance of CR 120 east of NY 225 in Caton was transferred from Steuben County to the state of New York as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government. All of CR 7 in Chemung County was also transferred to the state sometime after 1978.[15][17] The Caton–Big Flats roadway, now state-maintained along its entire length, became an eastward extension of NY 225 by 1986.[18]
