New York State Route 275 (NY 275) is a north–south

County Route 17 (CR 17). NY 275 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York
to the portion of its routing south of Friendship. It was extended slightly northward in July 1974 to connect to the Southern Tier Expressway.

Route description

NY 275 northbound through the village of Bolivar

NY 275 begins at the intersection of Wellsville and Main streets in the

CR 40 (Deans Flat Road). The rural trend soon reverses as NY 275 enters the adjacent village of Richburg. Here, NY 275 is also known as Main Street as it serves Richburg's business district and the surrounding residential neighborhoods.[3]

Past Richburg, NY 275 continues on a northeasterly track through the rural town of

CR 8 (Inavale Road) and passing a handful of farms on its way toward East Notch, a gap between two large hills that serves as Little Genesee Creek's source. It eventually turns north to traverse the pass before winding its way down the opposite side. A short distance later, NY 275 intersects with the northern terminus of CR 8 as it curves to take a northwesterly track into the town of Friendship.[3]

NY 275 southbound just after the junction with CR 20 in the hamlet of Friendship

Just north of the town line, NY 275 enters the hamlet of Nile, where it becomes a two-lane residential street named Pennsylvania Avenue. In the center of the community, the route meets the east end of

CR 17.[3]

History

NY 275 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to the portion of its modern alignment between the village of Bolivar and the hamlet of Friendship. At the time, NY 275's northern terminus was at its intersection with West Main Street (now CR 20) in Friendship, then part of NY 63[2] and later NY 408. In the early 1970s, the portion of the Southern Tier Expressway near Friendship was completed and opened to traffic.[4][5] However, NY 275 continued to end at NY 408 in Friendship until the mid-1970s when NY 408 was truncated to Nunda. As a result, NY 275 was extended a short distance northward to meet the Southern Tier Expressway at exit 29.[6][7]

In 1964, the

NY 19. In August 1964, the county declined to sign the offer.[8] On July 1, 1974, NY 275 was extended north to the newly-constructed Southern Tier Expressway.[9]
