.

The majority of NY 321's routing was originally designated as part of

NY 174 from Forward Road to Camillus; however, this concurrency was eliminated in the 1960s. NY 321 was rerouted to follow Bennetts Corners Road in the 1980s.

Route description

NY 321 heading northbound from US 20 in Skaneateles

NY 321 begins at an intersection with

town of Elbridge.[3]

In Elbridge, NY 321 intersects with several county routes, including Halfway Road (

Camillus town line soon after the turn. Forward Road, a local road that passes through a mixture of open fields and forests, serves as a connector between NY 321 and NY 174.[3]

Past Forward Road, NY 321 becomes concurrent with CR 66 as maintenance of the roadway shifts from the New York State Department of Transportation to Onondaga County. The state designation comes to an end at NY 5 in the hamlet of Bennetts Corners west of the village of Camillus shortly after; however, CR 66 continues onward.[3]

History

Origins

The

town of Camillus. It was accepted into the New York state highway system on September 17, 1912. An extension of the road south into the town of Skaneateles to the village of the same name was constructed in late 1912 and early 1913 and added to the state highway system in September 1913.[5]

When the first set of posted routes in New York were assigned in 1924, the Skaneateles–Martisco highway was included as part of

NY 5A (later NY 5).[6][7]

NY 321 designation

NY 26 was split into several different routes as part of the

overlapped with NY 174 from Martisco to Camillus.[2] The overlap remained in place until the 1960s when NY 321 was truncated to the southern end of the concurrency in Martisco.[8][9]

Looking eastward along Forward Road (NY 931F) from junction with NY 321

In the early 1950s, the portion of NY 321 south of Forward Road was co-designated as part of NY 20SY, a largely alternate routing of US 20 between Skaneateles and Manlius via Syracuse.[10][11] Past Sweets Corners, NY 20SY continued north on a previously unnumbered roadway to NY 5 at Bennetts Corners, where it joined NY 5 east into Camillus.[12] The NY 20SY designation was removed in 1961, leaving Bennetts Corners Road from Forward Road to NY 5 as an unnumbered roadway once again.[13]

NY 321 was rerouted in the late 1980s to follow Bennetts Corners Road to NY 5. This part of NY 321 overlapped CR 66, a highway that began at the junction of Forward and Bennetts Corners Roads and ended in the hamlet of

reference route 1.16 miles (1.87 km) in length.[1]
