[edit] Route description

NY 436 runs for 23.8 miles across Wyoming and Livingston counties, linking NY 36 and NY 39, both major arterials through Western New York and the Southern Tier. The route also passes through Letchworth State Park near its southern tip.

[edit] Wyoming County

In the hamlet of Lamont, NY 436 breaks from NY 39, proceeding east on County Route 38 for a short distance to New York State Route 19A. NY 436 turns south onto the route, forming a duplex with NY 19A around the western and southern edges of Letchworth State Park before entering the park near Portageville. NY 19A and NY 436 exit the park outside of Portageville, remaining duplexed for another 125 yards before splitting on the western edge of Portageville. NY 19A takes the southern path out of town, paralleling the Genesee River as it travels southward while NY 436 turns east into the hamlet.

NY 436 occupies the northernmost road in Portageville between NY 19A and Main Street, where NY 436 abruptly turns north and crosses the Genesee River gorge, reentering Letchworth State Park and passing into Livingston County in the process.

The route roughly parallels the southern extent of the park as it turns a full 180 degrees to mirror the alignment of the nearby Genesee River. Near the point where the route takes on a southeasterly alignment, NY 439 passes under the Norfolk Southern Southern Tier Line.

Shortly after exiting the park, NY 436 straightens out and takes an easterly alignment to an intersection west of the Portage hamlet of Oakland, where the road meets the northern terminus of New York State Route 70. From here, NY 436 curves to the northeast for a short distance before resuming its eastward routing.

East of Oakland in the village of Nunda, NY 436 gains a name for the first time, becoming Portage Road as it enters the village. On the opposite side of an intersection with New York State Route 408 in the village center, NY 436 becomes Mill Street. At the village line, NY 436 fittingly becomes Nunda-Dansville Road for the two communities that the road links.

A mile east of NY 408, NY 436 dips a mile to the south before curving back to the east, an alignment that the route generally maintains to Dansville, where NY 436 terminates at NY 36 three-tenths of a mile east of an overpass separating NY 436 from Interstate 390.
