[edit] Route description

NY 120A begins at NY 120 in the village of Harrison (in Purchase), near the junction of NY 120 and I-287. It initially heads eastward along Westchester Avenue passing through the village of Rye Brook up to the village of Port Chester. In Port Chester, Westchester Avenue is county-maintained with the unsigned designation County Route 112. NY 120A then continues onto King Street via North Pearl Street. King Street heads north, re-entering Rye Brook, then runs along the Connecticut state line. NY 120A has an interchange with the Hutchinson River Parkway and the Merritt Parkway/Route 15 while running along the border. NY 120A then enters Connecticut staying within the town of Greenwich, Connecticut for about 3.6 miles. This portion of the road is still maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation, even though it is outside the state of New York. NY 120A re-enters New York state in the town of North Castle where it ends back at NY 120.
