New York State Route 104B is a state highway in central New York. This highway provides a means to connect New York State Route 104 (the principal highway along the southern shore of Lake Ontario) with the northern portion of New York State Route 3 (the principal highway along the eastern short of Lake Ontario) while bypassing the village of Mexico, where the two highways intersect. The western terminus of NY 104B is at NY 104 in New Haven, and the eastern terminus is at NY 3 near Texas.

NY 104B runs close to the shore of Lake Ontario along its southeastern corner in Oswego County. It is part of the Seaway Trail, a National Scenic Byway.

[edit] Route description

NY 104B is a short (6.14 mile) bypass route, two lanes throughout its length, primarily for the benefit of lake-bound recreational traffic. Though signed east-west, it actually travels northwest between the town of New Haven and a point slightly beyond the hamlet of Texas. Surrounded on both sides by dense woods, it passes through no built-up areas and encounters only county roads between its two termini. Its most major intersection, about halfway along its length, is with Oswego County Road 1.

[edit] Alternate route

Travellers not in a hurry can travel an 10 extra miles to pass through historic Mexico along NY 3 and NY 104. Mexico contains several buildings of historic importance, and a pleasant Main Street, and also provides a greater variety of services than can be found along Route 104B.
