Route description
Although NY 80 follows an east–west alignment for most of its routing, two sections, located on its western and easternmost ends, are either signed as north–south (as is the case in northern Otsego County and Montgomery County) or physically oriented from north to south (such as in central Onondaga County).[4]
Central Onondaga County
NY 80 begins at an intersection with
U.S. Route 11, I-81, and Onondaga Creek as all four head south out of Syracuse. At the city line, NY 80 becomes South Onondaga Road.[4]
In
Tully hamlet of Vesper before turning fully to the east as it enters the village of Tully.[4]
Tully to Sherburne
Just west of Tully, NY 80 intersects
County Route 134 (CR 134) to the southwest, act as frontage roads for I-81 exit 14. US 11 joins NY 80 east of the interchange, following the route into Tully. US 11 heads south at the village center; NY 80, however, continues eastward, overlapping NY 91 near Fabius and NY 13 in western Madison County. Past NY 13, NY 80 continues southeast to Georgetown, where it meets NY 26. The two routes conjoin and head south into Chenango County before separating shortly after crossing the county line. Within Chenango County, NY 80 largely follows an east–west routing with a slight curve to the southeast. Incorporated municipalities 80 passes through within Chenango County include Smyrna, Sherburne, and New Berlin. East of Smyrna, NY 80 continues east, then curves to the southeast as it approaches the Otsego County line, delimited by the Unadilla River.[4]
Former Second Great Western Turnpike
After crossing over the Chenango River and into Sherburne, NY 80 intersects
Second Great Western Turnpike across Central New York. The route continues east to Columbus, where NY 80 separates from the old routing of the turnpike, at an intersection with CR 25. From Columbus NY 80 heads southeast to intersect NY 8 north of New Berlin. NY 80 turns south onto NY 8, overlapping the route to New Berlin, where the routes split at the village center. Outside of New Berlin, NY 80 heads northeast to Edmeston, where it rejoins the routing of the Second Great Western Turnpike at an intersection with CR 20. From Edmeston NY 80 heads east to intersect NY 51 in West Burlington, creating a brief, 1-mile (1.6 km) long concurrency between the two routes. Soon after NY 51 splits off NY 80 and continues north toward West Winfield.[4]

NY 80 heads due east from NY 51 to Otsego, where it meets NY 205. NY 205 joins NY 80 eastward into a small valley surrounding Oaks Creek, where the two routes meet NY 28. While NY 205 terminates here, NY 80 joins NY 28, following the route east across the creek and through the hamlet of Fly Creek.[4]
To the east of Fly Creek, NY 28 and NY 80 ascend in elevation for a short distance prior to descending into a valley home to both the southern tip of
National Baseball Hall of Fame. At this intersection, the Second Great Western Turnpike turned east; however, NY 80 continues north on Chestnut for another block before turning onto Lake Street and following the street out of the village.[4]
Cooperstown to Nelliston
Outside of Cooperstown, NY 80 heads north along the western edge of Otsego Lake, passing by both the
Cherry Valley Turnpike) for the second time, where it becomes signed as a north–south route. The route continues northward, although the progression becomes more northeasterly as it crosses into the rural southeastern corner of Herkimer County. NY 80's stay within the county is brief, passing through the hamlet of Van Hornesville, home of the Owen D. Young Central School, established by noted American industrialist Owen D. Young. Young also founded RCA (the Radio Corporation of America). The route features no additional points of interest other than an intersection with NY 168 located at the midpoint between where NY 80 traverses the Otsego and Montgomery County lines.[4]
Upon entering Montgomery County, NY 80 heads east to
Interstate 90) and crosses the Mohawk River before terminating at NY 5 on the opposite bank in Nelliston.[4]
History
The routing of most of modern NY 80 between
Third Great Western Turnpike. While what is now NY 80 dips south to serve New Berlin, the turnpike bypassed the settlement to the north, favoring a direct alignment between Columbus and Edmeston.[7]
When the first set of posted routes in
In the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, NY 80 was truncated to its current eastern terminus in Nelliston;[10] however, it was also extended southward and westward to NY 173 in Syracuse, replacing NY 28 from Springfield to Cooperstown[3][11] and NY 44 from New Berlin to West Burlington.[10] From Sherburne to Columbus and from West Burlington to Cooperstown, NY 80 utilized a previously unnumbered roadway that roughly followed the former alignment of the Second Great Western Turnpike. The remainder of the roadway between Syracuse and Sherburne, and from Columbus to New Berlin, was also previously unnumbered.[12] NY 80 was extended northward to its present terminus at NY 175 by 1932.[13]
The 2.5 miles (4.0 km) portion of NY 80 between Vincent Corners Road (
CR 178) and the Madison County line was initially maintained by Onondaga County. On April 1, 1980, ownership and maintenance of this section of the route was transferred from the county to the state of New York as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government.[14]
