[edit] Route description

I-684 runs closely parallel to New York State Route 22 (NY 22) in Putnam County and northern Westchester County. The highway begins near I-84's Exit 20, at the junction between NY 22, US 6 and US 202 east of Brewster, New York. I-684 then enters Westchester County where it meets with the northern end of the Saw Mill River Parkway in Bedford, New York. I-684 then briefly cuts across the northwest corner of the Connecticut panhandle in Fairfield County, Connecticut, in which no exits exist. This portion of roadway is maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation but owned by the Connecticut Department of Transportation and is 1.4 miles long. The road then passes by Westchester County Airport (at Exit 2) and then splits into two branches at Exit 1. The main line continues southwest towards Interstate 287 at the White Plains city line. The other branch continues southeast towards the Hutchinson River Parkway (southbound direction only) in Harrison, New York on what is Reference Route 984J.
