From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New York State Route 437 is the state's shortest signed state highway, located entirely within Cayuga County. It is a brief connector route, 1,584 feet (483 m) in total length, between routes 38 and 38A, known locally as White Bridge Road.
NY 437 is located at the north end of Owasco Lake, in the Towns of Fleming and Owasco. The highway travels through Emerson Park, a public park owned and maintained by Cayuga County, and over the Owasco Inlet. This area is just south of the city of Auburn. The highway allows motorists, especially those wanting quick access to the opposite side of the lake, to avoid having to cross the Owasco Inlet further downstream, in the city.

Looking towards the western terminus of Route 437 from the eastern terminus.
At its western end, NY 437 culminates in a traffic circle, one of few New York state highways to end at such a feature (Interstate 587 outside Kingston does as well, but it is an Interstate and thus not technically a state highway). NY 27 also ends in an apparent traffic circle at its eastern terminus on Montauk Point, but it is a closed loop creating by the highway running back into itself (as does U.S. 9 just short of the Canadian border). NY 635, in neighboring Onondaga County, ends at NY 298 and Exit 35 of the New York State Thruway via a traffic circle in Syracuse.
