New York State Route 5 is a 370-mile (597 km) long New York State Route that runs between the New York/Pennsylvania border at the Town of Ripley in Chautauqua County and downtown Albany in Albany County where it terminates at service roads for I-787. Prior to the construction of the New York State Thruway, it was one of two main east-west highways traversing upstate New York (along with US-20).

[edit] Route description

Although it is no longer commonly used for long distance travel, it is still regionally important. Route 5 is "Main Street" in Buffalo, "Erie Boulevard" and "Genesee Street" in Syracuse, "State Street" in Schenectady, and "Central Avenue" in Albany, the state capital. It is a major local road in many other locations along its path.

NY-5 multiplexes with US-20 for a large portion of its route through western and central New York, from the western side of Livingston County all the way to the city of Auburn in Cayuga County. At 67.6 miles in length, this is the second-longest route concurrency in New York State, behind only the concurrency of NY-17 and I-86 in the Southern Tier. When NY-17 is officially turned into I-86 (scheduled for 2012), the NY-5/US-20 concurrency will become the longest in the state. In addition, NY-5 will then overtake NY-17 as the lengthiest New York State Route.

At its western terminus at the New York/Pennsylvania line, NY-5 becomes Pennsylvania Route 5 and continues toward Erie, Pennsylvania.
