In 1980, NY 273 was removed from the state highway system as part of a highway maintenance swap between the state of New York and Washington County. On April 1, 1980, ownership and maintenance of NY 273 was transferred from the state of New York to Washington County;[16] however, the NY 273 designation had officially ceased to exist one week earlier on March 24, 1980.[4] Following the swap, the former routing of NY 273 was redesignated as CR 18 while the short connector to Vermont became part of CR 18A, then a loop route off NY 22A.[17] CR 18A has since been reconfigured to follow a new highway leading directly from NY 22A to the Poultney River bridge.[18]
Major intersections
The entire route was in Washington County.
