Route description

NY 226 proceeding northward through Schuyler County

NY 226 begins at an intersection with the off-ramps from interchange 40 on the

County Route 12 (CR 12), the two routes are concurrent for a short distance, crossing under the expressway as West Lamoka Avenue. NY 226 and CR 12 cross Mud Creek and enter the village of Savona, where CR 12 terminates, and NY 226 continues eastward as a four-lane arterial. After crossing the village line, NY 226 intersects with NY 415 (Coopers–Bath Road). Changing cardinal directions, NY 226 proceeds east as a two-lane residential street, East Lamoka Avenue. Running along the northern end of the village, NY 226 proceeds east along Mud Creek, before turning northeast, becoming a two-lane rural roadway.[3]

A short distance later, NY 226 leaves Savona for the town of Bath once again, dropping the Lamoka Avenue moniker and running along Mud Creek to the northeast. The route remains primarily rural, passing Peterson and Van Keuren Lakes, entering the hamlet of Sonora. Through Sonora, NY 226 remains rural, passing a few residences near an intersection with the northern terminus of

CR 16 (Telegraph Road), the latter of which enters the hamlet of Bradford. NY 226 however remains to the south and crosses the Schuyler County line, entering the town of Orange.[3]

After crossing into Schuyler County, NY 226 continues northeast, passing south of Mill Pond as a two-lane rural roadway. The route continues a northeastern wind for several miles through Schuyler County, entering the town of

CR 23 (Mud Lake Road). NY 226 continues north through Tyrone, running alongside a pond before bending east at an intersection with Kendall Hill Road. After the change in direction, NY 226 enters the hamlet of Altay. Through Altay, NY 226 is a two-lane residential street before leaving just after Bigelow Hill Road.[3]

Continuing through Tyrone, NY 226 bends northeast at a fork with Altay Road. NY 226 continues this northeastern progression from Altay, crossing Pre-Emption Road at-grade. By this point, the route has entered the town of

CR 27 terminates at NY 226, which continues north a short distance before terminating itself at an intersection with NY 14A near the Yates County line.[3]

History

NY 226 was assigned as part of the

U.S. Route 15, at the time the designation for the highway, left the expressway at its end west of Savona and followed West Lamoka Avenue into the village to rejoin its original alignment in the center of Savona.[4][5] An extension of the expressway northward from Savona was open by 1973 and became part of a realigned US 15. The portion of West Lamoka Avenue from exit 40 to Coopers–Bath Road in Savona became part of an extended NY 226 on July 1, 1974.[6]
