New York State Route 67 (NY 67) is an 86.55-mile-long (139.29 km) east–west state highway in eastern New York in the United States. The western terminus of the route is at an intersection with NY 5 in the town of St. Johnsville. Its eastern terminus is at the Vermont state line in Hoosick, where it continues eastward as Vermont Route 67 (VT 67).

Route description

Montgomery and Fulton counties

NY 67 begins at an intersection with

hamlet of Ephratah.[3]

In Ephratah, NY 67 splits from NY 10 and heads east as a narrow and winding highway. It continues into the

BOCES, and Fulton–Montgomery Community College
before reentering Montgomery County.

Second pass through Montgomery County

Once again in Montgomery County, NY 67 follows a winding, narrow path. One steep curve was eliminated in the early 2000s northwest of

Amsterdam
.

In Amsterdam, NY 67 enters with NY 5 as West Main Street. After passing an unusual flashing traffic light at Guy Park Manor, a four-lane highway begins parallel to Main Street. Historically, NY 5 and NY 67 followed Main Street through the city. With the 1977 creation of the Amsterdam Mall, NY 5 and NY 67, together with NY 30, were re-routed onto splits comprising the Amsterdam Arterial.[citation needed] After a left exit for NY 30 southbound and a link to the Thruway, NY 67 follows underneath NY 30 southbound, then takes a left exit next to the mall. NY 67 then follows NY 30 North, crossing NY 5 westbound, then splitting off toward Ballston Spa, passing through the hamlet of Manny Corners, south of the village of Hagaman.

Saratoga County

NY 67 at I-87

NY 67 enjoys a wider route, enabling faster driving and more gentle curves, passing south of the

Adirondack Northway at Malta
.

In the Malta Area, NY 67 enters as Dunning Street. Immediately before Interstate 87 (I-87), there is a roundabout at State Farm Road. A second roundabout shortly thereafter handles the southbound ramp traffic of I-87 exit 12, with a third roundabout handling northbound on the other side. A fourth roundabout handles an intersection with Malta Commons and Kelch Drive, and a fifth handles the intersection with U.S. Route 9 (US 9), beginning the overlap with US 9.

The David Mathews House, straddling the New York–Vermont state line located on NY–VT 67.

After the final roundabout, NY 67 turns south, concurrent with US 9 for 1.5 miles (2.4 km), just north of the village of

Schaghticoke, crossing the Hudson on the Mechanicville Bridge
.

Rensselaer and Washington counties

Old Schaghticoke Road carries NY 67 eastward and uphill, meeting

Buskirk and crossing again in Eagle Bridge
to briefly enter Washington County.

NY 67 meets NY 22 in White Creek after 0.9 miles (1.4 km). Turning right, running concurrent for 0.6 miles (1.0 km), the paired routes re-enter Rensselaer County. Once back in Rensselaer County, the routes split at North Hoosick. Passing through farmland, NY 67 ends at the Vermont state line, continuing as VT 67.

History

The portion of modern NY 67 between what is now NY 147 south of Galway and the southern end of the overlap with NY 50 south of Ballston Spa was originally designated as part of two legislative routes by the New York State Legislature in 1908. From Galway to Ballston Spa, what is now NY 67 was part of Route 37. The modern overlap with NY 50 was part of Route 25.[4] In 1912, Route 37 was realigned between Kimball Corners and Saratoga Springs to use modern NY 29. Its former routing between Kimball Corners and Ballston Spa via Galway was redesignated as Route 37-a. Also added in 1912 was Route 37-b, a spur route that ran from Route 25 south of Ballston Spa east to what is now US 9 in Malta via current NY 67.[5][6] The Route 37-a and Route 37-b designations were eliminated on March 1, 1921.[7]

When the first set of posted routes in New York were assigned in 1924, the section of modern NY 67 between

Schaghticoke, NY 67 initially ran concurrent with US 4 and NY 32 to Stillwater, where it turned east and followed what is now CR 125 across the Hudson River (via Stillwater Bridge) to NY 40 north of Schaghticoke in Rensselaer County.[11]

On April 1, 1980, ownership and maintenance of NY 67 between the access road to lock 4 of the

reference route.[17]

A second maintenance swap, this time between the state and

CR 52[18][19]) between NY 5 outside of St. Johnsville and the Fulton County line was transferred from Montgomery County to the state of New York.[12] The new state highway became a westward extension of NY 67, which overlapped a section of NY 10 between Ephratah and NY 10's junction with New Turnpike Road.[13][14] The 0.34-mile (0.55 km) section of New Turnpike Road between the Fulton County line and NY 10 was not transferred to the state and is still maintained by the town of Ephratah for several years. It was eventually transferred to NYSDOT in 2012[3]
