[edit] Effects of the US 6 Realignment in Yorktown

The current junction is slightly east of the original, which is now the Main Street & Mahopac Street (6N) intersection. From there, 6N travels on a road that is not part of the original Main Street to get to 6. When the 6 realignment (it formerly simply followed Main Street) took place, the new 6 roadway merged back with the old Main Street just east of the Main&Mahopac intersection, but the connection of the old Main Street was cut off and instead a new Main Street (6N) was built to the north which ends at 6's intersection with Curry Street. Also disrupted was Gomer Street, which once connected with Main Street (old 6) at the Mahopac (6N) intersection. The southern Gomer Street was routed to Curry Street, and the northern Gomer Street was dead-ended to form Gomer Court.
