New York State Route 28B (NY 28B) was a

reference route. The alignment of NY 28B was originally part of legislative
Route 26 and later Route 25 in the early 20th century.

Route description

NY 28B began at an intersection with

town of Remsen. The route continued on this path for another 0.25 miles (0.40 km) before turning towards the west and paralleling the town line into the village of Remsen.[3][5]

Within Remsen, NY 28B became known as Prospect Street as it headed westward for three blocks through the residential southeastern part of the village. In the last of the three, the route crossed over Cincinnati Creek just before intersecting Main Street. While Prospect Street ended here, NY 28B turned south onto Main Street, following it for two blocks to a junction with Steuben Street. Here, NY 28B turned west, passing through a slightly more rural area as it approached the

divided highway carrying NY 12 and NY 28 around the western edge of the village. NY 28B ended upon meeting the arterial at the western village line.[3][5]

History

Approaching NY 365 on State Street (former NY 28B) northbound in Prospect. NY 920V, NY 28B's successor, begins at the junction.

The section of legislative Route 25 from Prospect to Remsen was finally assigned a posted designation in April 1935 when it became part of NY 28B,[2] an alternate route of NY 28 that extended west along NY 287 to Barneveld. At the time, NY 12 and NY 28 followed Mappa Avenue, Old State Road, and Main Street between Barneveld and Remsen while NY 287 and NY 28B were routed on Boon Street, Parker Hollow Road, and Church Street from Barneveld to Prospect.[12][13] The overlap with NY 287 was eliminated in the early 1950s after NY 28B was truncated to begin in Prospect.[14][15]

By 1954, NY 12 and NY 28 were shifted westward onto a new bypass around the village of Remsen. NY 28B was extended southward along NY 12 and NY 28's former alignment on Main Street and westward on Steuben Street to meet the new highway.

The entire route was in Oneida County.
