[edit] Route description

199's western terminus is the expressway overpass just north of Kingston at US 9W. US 209 ends and becomes 199.

After the road crosses the bridge, it heads north and multiplexes with NY 9G to Red Hook, then detaches from it and continues across the hills and fields of northern Dutchess County, intersecting US 9 and the Taconic State Parkway along the way. Past the latter, in a somewhat woodsier area, it is joined by NY 82 from the north, and together the two highways form the main street of the quiet but aptly-named Pine Plains.

West of that hamlet, the largest community on 199 after Kingston, the route remains wooded, until the road finally descends into the upper Harlem Creek valley and reaches its east end, an obliquely-angled junction with US 44 and NY 22.

[edit] History

From the early 1800s to 1910, NY 100 was the old Salisbury Turnpike. NY 199 is featured in a book by Henry Billings entitled "Construction Ahead" (1951).

Before the bridge, 199 started a bit to the north, at the Barrytown ferry landing. The old route is now Dutchess County Route 82.
