New York State Route 252A (NY 252A) was an east–west
Chili Center. Its eastern terminus was at a junction with NY 383 near the Greater Rochester International Airport. NY 252A was known as Paul Road and was a 4.40-mile (7.08 km) alternate route of NY 252
through Chili; however, it did not directly connect to NY 252.
NY 252A was originally designated as New York State Route 198 c. 1932. NY 198 became part of NY 252 in 1949; however, NY 252 was realigned in the late 1950s to follow a more southerly alignment through the town of Chili. Its former routing was redesignated as NY 252A. The route was realigned slightly in the late 1960s following an expansion of the
County Route 168 (CR 168), an unsigned
route.
Route description
NY 252A began at an intersection with
crossed the Rochester and Southern Railroad in the community of Maplewood just before intersecting Beahan Road, a local road that serves as the western extent of the airport property.[5]
The route, and Paul Road along with it, turned southward at the Beahan Road junction, replacing Beahan Road as the boundary-delimiting highway. This portion of NY 252A formed a "U" as it looped around the southern end of the airport's primary runway. East of the runway, the route gradually curved to the northeast before ending south of the airport at a junction with NY 383 2 miles (3.2 km) southwest of the city of Rochester.[5]
History
reference marker
on NY 252A westbound near NY 33A and NY 386The east–west highway connecting the
Chili Center to the western bank of the Genesee River by way of the community of Maplewood was originally known as Clifton Road. At the time, Clifton Road continued due east from the modern junction of Paul and Beahan Roads to Scottsville Road (now NY 383).[6] It became a state highway on August 6, 1903, following the conclusion of a 13-month project to improve the highway.[7] The Chili Center–Maplewood highway was designated as NY 198 c. 1932.[8][9]
NY 198 became a westward extension of
Rochester–Monroe County Airport expanded its primary runway southward across a tract of land that included part of NY 252A's routing. As a result, NY 252A was moved onto a new alignment that circumvented the runway to the south.[14][15]
In 2007, ownership and maintenance of NY 252A was transferred from the state of
CR 168,[17] which was extended eastward from its previous terminus at NY 33A and NY 386 in Chili Center to cover NY 252A.[18] The NY 252A designation was removed from CR 168 on July 1, 2009.[4]
However, the NY 252A shields remained posted until they were removed by Fall 2010.
Major intersections
The entire route was in Chili, Monroe County.
