NY 313

New York State Route 312 (NY 312) is a short state highway connecting U.S. Route 6 (US 6) and NY 22 within the town of Southeast in Putnam County, New York. It allows indirect access to the village of Brewster from Interstate 84 (I-84), and is often heavily used by local residents at rush hour in preference to the more complicated nearby access to I-684. The western terminus of the route is at US 6 roughly 2 miles (3.2 km) northwest of Brewster, and the eastern is in the hamlet of Sears Corners.

The designation NY 312 was originally assigned to what is now NY 164 as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York before being shifted south to its current location in 1937.

History

NY Route 312 and Interstate 84 signage

All of modern NY 312 was originally designated as part of NY 52 in the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York.[5] At the same time, the NY 312 designation was assigned to the entirety of what is now NY 164.[2] The NY 312 designation was shifted 3 miles (5 km) southward to its current alignment in May 1937 after NY 52 was truncated to Carmel.[6] No changes have been made to NY 312's alignment since that time.
