New York State Route 402 (NY 402) was a

County Route 78
(CR 78), which had begun at the junction of NY 9G and NY 402 prior to the swap.

Route description

Signage for CR 78 east of the ferry landing

NY 402 began at what was once a ferry landing on the Hudson River west of the Tivoli village center, but within the village limits, in northwestern Dutchess County. The highway went southward from the ferry landing, paralleling the Hudson River for a short distance before it turned eastward and traversed a pair of hills as it approached the center of the village. In this area, NY 402 connected to Sycamore Point, a plateau overlooking the Hudson River. East of the highway leading to Sycamore Point, NY 402 intersected with Woods Road, a north–south highway marking the western edge of the village's central district.[5][6]

The route proceeded eastward through the village center, an area comprising homes, businesses, and St. Sylvia's Church. It exited the area upon intersecting Clay Hill Road, at which point NY 402 changed names from Broadway to Mill Street. The route continued for another 0.3 miles (0.48 km) to an intersection with

CR 78.[5][6]

History

NY 402 was assigned in the early 1930s as a connector between

CR 78,[5] which began at the junction of NY 9G and NY 402 prior to the swap.[citation needed
]

When NY 402 was assigned, it was one of two routes that served solely as a connector between a through highway and a ferry landing. The other route was

Ticonderoga, was assigned later in the decade.[8]

Major intersections

The entire route was in Tivoli, Dutchess County.
