[edit] Route description
[edit] Greene County
NY 144 begins near the hamlet of Hannacroix, serving as a service access to the New Baltimore Thruway service area before passing over the highway on a northeasterly path. Upon reaching the New Baltimore hamlet, the route takes on a narrow, winding street, joining River Road and heading northward along the Hudson River, providing views of the same.
[edit] Albany County
NY 144 enters the Coeymans hamlet as Main Street, bearing away from the Hudson River and passing close to the Thruway. It passes under the latter’s Berkshire Spur meeting NY 396 as Maple Avenue, Selkirk. Shortly north of that is Thruway exit 22.
Continuing as River Road, NY 144 becomes straighter and handles heavier traffic, accessing several industrial sites along its final stretch. It meets NY 32 as Corning Hill Road. As NY 144 ends just south of Albany, NY 32 continues north as South Pearl Street.
