For the former alignment of NY 19 in Ulster and Delaware counties, see New York State Route 28.  New York State Route\u00a019 (NY\u00a019) is a north\u2013south state highway in Western New York in the United States. It is the longest state highway in that region, and the only other one besides NY\u00a014 to completely transect the state from the Pennsylvania state line to the shore of Lake Ontario. It continues south into Pennsylvania as Pennsylvania Route\u00a0449 (PA\u00a0449) and ends at an intersection with the Lake Ontario State Parkway just south of the lakeshore in Hamlin. NY\u00a019 does not serve any major cities or metropolitan areas and remains a two-lane rural road for almost its entire length. However, it follows the Genesee River for much of its lower length, and offers easy access to the gorges of Letchworth State Park midway along its route.Most of modern NY\u00a019 between Wellsville and Le Roy was originally designated as part of a legislative route in 1908. Much of this stretch was included in Route\u00a016, an unsigned highway that initially extended from Cuba to Le Roy via Belfast. In 1921, Route\u00a016 was altered to follow the path of what is now NY\u00a019A instead. The first set of posted routes in New York were assigned in 1924, at which time the Wellsville\u2013Belvidere segment of modern NY\u00a019 was designated as part of NY\u00a017 and a small portion of NY\u00a019 in Brockport became part of NY\u00a03. Within two years, the pre-1921 routing of legislative Route\u00a016 from Belfast to Pavilion was designated as part of New York State Route\u00a062, a new route that began at Belvidere and passed through Pavilion before following modern NY\u00a063 northwest to the Lake Ontario shoreline north of Lyndonville.In the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, NY\u00a017 was altered to follow a more southerly routing between Olean and Wellsville while NY\u00a062 became the basis for NY\u00a019, which continued south of Belvidere to the Pennsylvania state line. The portion of what is now NY\u00a019 north of Pavilion was initially part of NY\u00a063; the alignments of NY\u00a019 and NY\u00a063 were flipped north of Pavilion c.\u20091939. Only minor realignments and maintenance transfers have occurred since.

Just south of the first New York community it encounters, the hamlet of Shongo in the Town of Willing, it crosses the river. Running a little farther from the waterway, NY\u00a019 reaches another hamlet, Stannards, several miles (kilometers) farther north, along with its first state highway junction, NY\u00a0248, which leaves to the east.[citation needed]  After Stannards, NY\u00a019 crosses Chenunda Creek as the Genesee Valley widens somewhat, and continues north to the village of Wellsville, the largest community in Allegany County. It merges with NY\u00a0417, the east\u2013west former route of NY\u00a017 through the village, following a four-lane arterial along the Genesee River, which here runs through a concrete-lined flood control channel. North of Wellsville, the NY\u00a019 corridor remains fairly well-developed as the highway makes its way to the smaller village of Belmont, the county seat. Here NY\u00a019 crosses the Genesee River for the last time, and NY\u00a0244 leaves for Alfred to the east at the village center.[citation needed]1 mile (1.6\u00a0km) past Belmont, NY\u00a019 has its only direct freeway interchange, with the Southern Tier Expressway (Interstate\u00a086 or I-86 and NY\u00a017). Beyond it, it follows the river closely through the hamlet of Belfast, where NY\u00a0305 terminates. The next junction with another state highway, NY\u00a0243, comes at Caneadea, the next hamlet. It continues northward, passing through Houghton, home to Houghton College. NY\u00a019A splits off in Fillmore to continue the riverside course and provide access to Letchworth State Park, while NY\u00a019 climbs out of the valley and out of Allegany County.[citation needed]Wyoming County[edit]After the short bend where it crosses the Wyoming County line, NY\u00a019 bends slightly to the west as it comes into the hamlet of Pike 1 mile (1.6\u00a0km) to the north. The hamlet itself does not present any major intersections; however, NY\u00a019 meets NY\u00a039, the main east\u2013west road across southern Wyoming County, northeast of the hamlet. The two routes overlap for just over 0.5 miles (0.8\u00a0km) before NY\u00a019 turns back to the north and heads across mostly open fields to the next village, Gainesville, a few miles (kilometers) farther on. Again the intersecting state highway is displaced to the north of the village, where NY\u00a078 heads off to the west despite being signed as a north\u2013south route.[citation needed]  The route heads northeast from Gainesville to the hamlet of Rock Glen outside of Silver Springs, where NY\u00a019A returns to its parent route and NY\u00a019 passes under the Norfolk Southern Railway-owned Southern Tier Line. A few miles (kilometers) farther on, NY\u00a019 reaches another county seat, Warsaw. The highway, along with the intersecting U.S. Route\u00a020A (US\u00a020A), serves as one of the village’s two commercial axes. Upon leaving Warsaw to the north, NY\u00a019, having trended slightly to the west since the state line, reaches its apex and begins to go slightly to the northeast for the remainder of the route. It begins this new course while running through the Wyoming Valley, formed by Oatka Creek, a tributary of the Genesee River. At the Middlebury\u2013Covington town line, NY\u00a019 takes a sudden right turn from its route to follow Schwytzer\u2013East Bethany Road for 3 miles (4.8\u00a0km) to Silver Lake Road, where it once again assumes a due north heading as it begins to parallel the Rochester and Southern Railroad and enters Genesee County.[citation needed]Genesee and Monroe counties[edit]Almost immediately after the county line NY\u00a019 intersects NY\u00a063 at a traffic light in the hamlet of Pavilion. The similarly named but smaller Pavilion Center 2 miles (3.2\u00a0km) to the north marks the junction\u2014a pseudo-parclo interchange\u2014with US\u00a020.  NY\u00a019 at the US\u00a020 interchange NY\u00a019 follows the Rochester and Southern Railroad into the village of Le Roy, where NY\u00a019 intersects the state’s other major east\u2013west route, NY\u00a05, and crosses the railroad as it turns eastward to access Caledonia. Outside of Le Roy, the route begins to leave Oatka Creek behind as the river and the route both descend the Onondaga Escarpment. Shortly afterwards, it crosses the I-90 segment of the New York State Thruway just west of where I-490 leaves the Thruway. While NY\u00a019 is signed for this exit along the Thruway, access to it comes via the first exit on I-490, which is accessed via connector roads as the two highways do not directly intersect.[citation needed]North of the Thruway, NY\u00a019 enters the village of Bergen, intersecting NY\u00a033 south of the village and NY\u00a0262 in the community itself. After passing the historic buildings of Lake Street, it crosses the CSX Transportation-owned Rochester Subdivision before exiting the village limits. Several miles (kilometers) later, after passing the Bergen Swamp Wildlife Refuge and crossing over Black Creek, it crosses its last county line, entering the rural southwestern corner of Monroe County. The route heads north through the lightly populated town of Sweden to a large commercial district located a short distance south of the southern boundary of Brockport, the largest community on NY\u00a019’s entire length. Here, NY\u00a019, named South Lake Road, intersects NY\u00a031, which enters from the west as Fourth Section Road and leaves to the east as Brockport\u2013Spencerport Road.[citation needed]NY\u00a019 continues north into Brockport, where the road crosses the Erie Canal and passes SUNY Brockport and the Morgan\u2013Manning House as Main Street. Less than 1 mile (1.6\u00a0km) northeast of the village, NY\u00a019 reaches NY\u00a0104 (Ridge Road) at the hamlet of Clarkson Corners. Now known as North Lake Road, and eventually just Lake Road, NY\u00a019 assumes a straight course again through the several miles (kilometers) of open country to its next junction, NY\u00a018 at Hamlin. Just north of the quiet hamlet, Lake Road splits into east and west branches at a fork in the road. While unsigned CR\u00a0234 (former NY\u00a0360) branches off to the northwest on the west fork, NY\u00a019 takes the east fork and heads northeast from the hamlet. A few miles (kilometers) more brings the route to North Hamlin and finally its northern terminus at the Lake Ontario State Parkway. Lake Road East Fork, at this point no longer part of NY\u00a019, continues across the parkway to serve two Lake Ontario beach communities.[citation needed]History[edit]In 1908, the New York State Legislature established a statewide legislative route system that initially consisted of 37 unsigned routes. The system included three segments of what is now NY\u00a019, two of which were located south of Le Roy. The longest of the three pieces extended from modern NY\u00a0305 in Belfast to NY\u00a05 in Le Roy and comprised most of Route\u00a016, which also continued southwest along current NY\u00a0305 to Cuba. Two smaller segments, from the southeastern end of the overlap with current NY\u00a0417 in Wellsville to County Route\u00a020 (CR\u00a020) in Belvidere and from what is now NY\u00a031 south of Brockport to West Avenue in the village, became part of Route\u00a04 and Route\u00a030, respectively.[3][4] On March\u00a01, 1921, several routes were added, removed, or modified as part of a partial renumbering of New York’s legislative route system. The portion of Route\u00a030 between Medina and Rochester became part of an extended Route\u00a020 while Route\u00a016 was realigned to follow modern NY\u00a019A between Fillmore and Gainesville. Lastly, the portion of modern NY\u00a019 between NY\u00a0417 and NY\u00a0248 at Stannards was included in the new Route\u00a046.[5]  Approaching the north end of NY\u00a019 at the Lake Ontario State Parkway in HamlinWhen the first set of posted routes in New York were assigned in 1924, the pieces of Route\u00a04 between Belvidere and Wellsville and Route\u00a020 along Main Street in Brockport were designated as part of NY\u00a017 and NY\u00a03, respectively. By 1926, the pre-1921 routing of Route\u00a016 between Belfast and Pavilion was designated as part of NY\u00a062, a route that continued south along modern NY\u00a019 to Belvidere and northwest to the Lake Ontario shoreline by way of what is now NY\u00a063.[6][7] In the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, NY\u00a017 was realigned between Olean and Wellsville to follow a new, more southerly routing while NY\u00a062 became part of NY\u00a019, a new route that extended from the Pennsylvania state line to Lake Ontario by way of former NY\u00a062, NY\u00a017’s former routing from Wellsville to Belvidere, the segment of legislative Route\u00a046 north of Stannards, and a previously unnumbered highway between Stannards and the Pennsylvania border. At the same time, the portion of legislative Route\u00a016 between Pavilion and Le Roy became part of NY\u00a063, which extended north to the lakeshore in Hamlin by way of what is now NY\u00a019.[2][8] The alignments of NY\u00a019 and NY\u00a063 north of Pavilion were flipped c.\u20091939.[9][10]Within the village of Wellsville, NY\u00a019 and NY\u00a0417 (formerly NY\u00a017) were originally routed on North and South Main streets.[11][12] In the early 1970s, construction began on an arterial bypassing downtown Wellsville to the west.[13] It was opened to traffic as part of a realigned NY\u00a019 and NY\u00a0417 in October 1977.[14][15] In Hamlin, the segment of NY\u00a019 between North Hamlin Road and the Lake Ontario State Parkway was originally maintained by Monroe County as the unsigned CR\u00a0232.[16] In 2007, ownership and maintenance of that segment of NY\u00a019 was transferred from Monroe County to the state of New York as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government. A bill (S4856, 2007) to enact the swap was introduced in the New York State Senate on April\u00a023 and passed by both the Senate and the New York State Assembly on June\u00a020. The act was signed into law by Governor Eliot Spitzer on August\u00a028. Under the terms of the act, it took effect 90 days after it was signed into law; thus, the maintenance swap officially took place on November\u00a026, 2007.[17]NY\u00a019A (19.06 miles or 30.67 kilometres) is an eastern alternate to NY\u00a019 between Fillmore and Rock Glen, connecting to Silver Springs, Castile and Portageville.[1] It was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York.[8]NY 19 Truck[edit]NY\u00a019 has had two short truck routes, one in the village of Belmont and another circumventing the village of Brockport.Brockport[edit]New York State Route 19 TruckLocationBrockportLength4.23\u00a0mi[18]\u00a0(6.81\u00a0km)NY\u00a019 Truck in Brockport is a route that serves as a bypass around a low bridge carrying the Falls Road Railroad over NY\u00a019 in the village. It begins at the intersection of NY\u00a031 and NY\u00a019 south of Brockport and follows NY\u00a031 westward on Fourth Section Road and northward on Redman Road to West Avenue. At West Avenue, NY\u00a019 Truck splits from NY\u00a031 and travels east on West Avenue to rejoin NY\u00a019 north of the village.[19]The West Avenue leg of NY\u00a019 Truck was originally designated as part of NY\u00a031. In the early 1980s, NY\u00a031 was rerouted to bypass Brockport on Redman and Fourth Section roads.[20][21] West Avenue was redesignated as NY\u00a0943B, an unsigned reference route.[22] In 2007, ownership and maintenance of NY\u00a0943B was transferred from the state of New York to Monroe County as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government. A bill (S4856, 2007) to enact the swap was introduced in the New York State Senate on April\u00a023 and passed by both the Senate and the New York State Assembly on June\u00a020. The act was signed into law by Governor Eliot Spitzer on August\u00a028. Under the terms of the act, it took effect 90 days after it was signed into law; thus, the maintenance swap officially took place on November\u00a026, 2007.[17] The former routing of NY\u00a0943B is now designated as the unsigned CR\u00a0281.[23]Belmont[edit]New York State Route 19 TruckLocationBelmontLength0.5\u00a0mi[24]\u00a0(800\u00a0m)Existed???\u2013October 22, 2009NY\u00a019 Truck in Belmont was a route that served as bypass around a bridge over the Genesee River on NY\u00a019. The route began at the junction of Willetts Avenue (NY\u00a019) and Genesee Street (NY\u00a0244) and followed Genesee Street northeastward across the Genesee River to Greenwich Street in the northern portion of the village. Here, NY\u00a019 Truck split from NY\u00a0244 and turned southeastward, following Greenwich Street back to NY\u00a019 east of the village center.[24] The bypassed bridge was originally built in 1935 and had an operating rating of 10 metric tons (11 short tons) and a sufficiency rating of 3%.[25] In late 2008, work began on a new bridge to replace the existing structure on NY\u00a019. The new bridge cost $4.5 million and was opened to traffic on October\u00a022, 2009. Signage for NY\u00a019 Truck was removed following the completion of the project.[26]Major intersections[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]^ a b c d “2008 Traffic Volume Report for New York State” (PDF).
