New York State Route 5A (NY 5A) is an east–west
New Hartford and downtown Utica. At its eastern end, NY 5A becomes NY 5S at an interchange with Interstate 790 (I-790), NY 5, NY 8, and NY 12. The route is four lanes wide and passes through mostly commercial areas. When NY 5A was assigned in the mid-1930s, it ended at Yorkville
, a village roughly midway between NY 5 in New Hartford and downtown Utica. It was extended to its present length in the 1940s.
Route description
NY 5A begins at an intersection with
County Route 21 (Clinton Street) and NY 840 at adjacent junctions. The former intersection is restricted to right-in/right-out movements, while the latter is a single-point urban interchange. Past NY 840, NY 5A straddles the western village line of New York Mills as it serves another stretch of businesses. Along the way, NY 5A crosses over the Sauquoit Creek and enters the town of Whitestown.[4]
The route and the creek follow loosely parallel alignments to a point just outside the village limits of both New York Mills and the adjacent village of
New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad to reach an interchange with the North–South Arterial (I-790, NY 5, NY 8, and NY 12). NY 5A becomes NY 5S at the midpoint of the interchange.[4]
History
In 1908, the
NY 76 in 1927 to eliminate numerical duplication with the new U.S. Route 11.[9]
The NY 76 designation was reassigned elsewhere in the state as part of the
New Hartford and NY 5S and NY 12C in Yorkville was designated as NY 5A.[2][3] NY 5S and NY 12C were realigned in the late 1930s to follow a new highway named Oriskany Boulevard through Whitesboro and Yorkville.[3][12] In the early 1940s, NY 5S was truncated to begin in Utica while its former alignment between Rome and Utica became part of NY 69.[12][13]
By 1947, NY 12C and NY 69 were realigned to follow Oriskany Street through western Utica while NY 5A was extended eastward along Oriskany Street to a new terminus in downtown Utica, creating
trumpet interchange around the same time.[16]
Major intersections
The entire route is in Oneida County.
