New York State Route 262 (NY 262) is an east–west
hamlet of Byron, where it meets NY 98 and NY 237. NY 262 is situated several miles north of the New York State Thruway (Interstate 90 or I-90) and follows a routing parallel to that of the Thruway. The route was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York
to a more northerly routing between Elba and Byron, but gradually moved onto its current Oakfield–Bergen alignment through a series of changes in the following decades.
Route description
NY 262 begins at an intersection with
overlap for one block along South Main Street to Ford Road, where NY 262 leaves NY 98 and continues northeastward through the remainder of the village.[3]
Outside of Elba village, NY 262 heads east-northeast across a mixture of farmlands and undeveloped fields to the town of
Bergen, traversing farmland and serving a handful of homes as it heads east. Across the town line in Bergen, the route passes directly north of the Byron–Bergen Central School District's three-school campus, located in an otherwise open area off of West Bergen Road.[3]
The route continues on, crossing the
Le Roy.[3]
History
NY 262 was assigned as part of the
hamlet of Byron.[2] The route was extended on both ends by the following year to NY 19 (now NY 63) in Oakfield and NY 63 (modern NY 19) in Bergen,[5] but was truncated on its eastern end to its junction with NY 98 south of Elba c. 1939.[6][7] It was reextended to Byron in the early 1950s; however, it now used Ford and Byron–Elba Roads instead in order to serve the hamlet of Byron.[8][9] NY 262 was extended back to Bergen in the late 1950s.[10][11]
Major intersections
The entire route is in Genesee County.
