[edit] Route description
Stretching for 341.33 miles (549.54 km) from its southern terminus at U.S. Route 1 in The Bronx to its northern terminus at the Canadian border in Mooers, New York, NY-22 was designed as a route from New York City to Canada. At the border, the road continues into Canada as Quebec Route 219. Being mostly a surface street with many stoplights, NY-22 has been made obsolete for long distance travel by the Taconic State Parkway and I-87 (New York State Thruway and Northway). NY 22, however, is still important locally and regionally.
Route 22 serves nine counties in New York: Bronx, Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Columbia, Rensselaer, Washington, Essex, and Clinton counties.

[edit] History
- In the 1920s, NY 22 was known as New England Interstate Route 22 (NE-22), the westernmost north-south route of the New England Interstate Route system. The NE-22 designation originally went from Lower Manhattan (at Houston Street) to Hillsdale (at NY 23).
- Until 1972, NY 22 went further south. It ran along 233rd Street, Jerome Avenue, Grand Concourse and 149th Street in the Bronx, and 145th Street, Lenox Avenue, 110th Street, and Park Avenue into Lower Manhattan. It was also concurrent with a former extension of NY 100 south of Jerome Avenue until 1956.
- The NY 22 designation was extended north from Hillsdale sometime in the early 1940s. The route was unnumbered in 1941 and was in place by 1945.[2][3]
