New York State Route 22 is a north-south state highway in New York paralleling the eastern edge of the state, from the outskirts of New York City to the Canadian border. At almost 341 miles (549 km) in total length, it is the longest north-south route in the state and currently the third longest overall, after NY 5 and NY 17.^[a] Many of the state's major east-west roads intersect with Route 22 just before crossing the state line into the neighboring New England states.

With the exception of its southern end, in the heavily-populated Bronx and lower Westchester County, as well as in the city of Plattsburgh near the northern end, almost all of Route 22 is a two-lane rural road that passes only through small villages and hamlets. The rural landscape off the road varies from horse country and views of the large reservoirs of the New York City watershed in the northern suburbs of city, to dairy farms further upstate in the hilly Taconics and Berkshires, to the undeveloped, heavily forested Adirondack Park along the shores of Lake Champlain. An 86-mile (138 km) section from Fort Ann to Keeseville is part of the All-American Road known as the Lakes to Locks Passage.

The southernmost section of the road used to be the White Plains Post Road in the 18th and 19th centuries, a major highway connecting New York City to White Plains, the county seat of Westchester County. Route 22 in its modern form was established in 1930 as one of the principal routes from New York City to Canada.

[edit] Route description

Route 22 starts as an urban arterial road, passing through the most populous communities along its route within its first 15 miles (24 km). At a traffic circle near Kensico Dam, it changes direction slightly from north to northeast and becomes a mostly two-lane rural route all the way to the Canadian border.

[edit] Bronx to Kensico Dam

Route 22 starts as Provost Avenue at an intersection with U.S. 1 in the Bronx, intersecting with East 233rd Street about 0.2 mi later.^[4] It soon crosses the Westchester county line into Mount Vernon and becomes South Third Avenue, beginning a 30-mile section in that county.^[5] Shortly after the county line, Route 22 makes a sharp turn to the right at the South Columbus Avenue intersection. It parallels the nearby Hutchinson River Parkway as it heads into the busy New York City suburbs of Bronxville and Tuckahoe. At Wilson Woods Lake, it crosses a pair of railroad tracks and becomes North Columbus Avenue, then has its first interchange with a limited-access road at the Cross County Parkway. NY 22 is mostly locally maintained within the city of Mount Vernon.^[6] Two country clubs on either side herald NY 22's entry into the wealthy suburb of Scarsdale.^[7] It makes a turn to the northeast, passing the Vernon Hills Shopping Center to the right. After leaving Scarsdale, NY 22 continues north into the hamlet of Hartsdale.^[8]

The route now parallels the Bronx River Parkway (BRP) as it enters Westchester's county seat, White Plains.^[9] Within the city of White Plains, NY 22 is maintained by Westchester County, with unsigned designations of County Road 53 (Scarsdale line to NY 125), County Road 108 (NY 125 to Westchester Avenue), and County Road 87 (Broadway to North Castle line).^[6] NY 22 also intersects NY 125 and NY 119 in downtown White Plains, then bends to the northwest along North Broadway, eventually intersecting the Cross-Westchester Expressway (I-287). White Plains Rural Cemetery is visible to the left as NY 22 continues northward out of the city.^[9]

In North White Plains, the area that the road passes through becomes a little less developed as it goes over a gentle rise to the traffic circle where the BRP ends and the Taconic State Parkway begins, just south of Kensico Dam.

[edit] Kensico Reservoir to Brewster

While the Taconic State Parkway continues along the northwest heading Route 22 had been following, Route 22 itself veers to the northeast along the reservoir's south shore towards a short concurrency with NY 120, just north of IBM's Armonk headquarters and the "Duke's Trees angle",^[10] the westernmost point in Connecticut.^[11] For the first time, NY 22 runs parallel to New York's eastern border, intersecting Interstate 684 for the first of several times just north of the short portion of that highway in Connecticut. A short distance later, NY 433, one of the state's shortest highways, heads south from NY 22 into Greenwich.

After that junction, NY 22 bends back to the north, paralleling I-684 as a narrow, shaded meandering two-lane rural route through the Westchester countryside of large wooded lots and houses well-screened from the road. In downtown Bedford, the first settlement since White Plains, the highway overlaps with NY 172 for a few blocks, then intersects NY 121 at its southern terminus. Route 22 itself follows a due-north heading from the hamlet, passing the Caramoor Center, the John Jay Homestead State Historic Site (the first National Historic Landmark along the highway), and Harvey School, before it briefly widens at a major intersection with NY 35 near Katonah.^[12] Two miles north of that junction, NY 22 becomes parallel to I-684 into the Town of Somers and the hamlet of Goldens Bridge. On the other side of the interstate, accessible via NY 138, is the Goldens Bridge train station on Metro-North Railroad's Harlem Line, which begins a long parallel alignment with NY 22 at this point.

The railroad's Purdy's station is a short distance west of the next junction, NY 116, after which NY 22 crosses under I-684, remaining between it and the railroad tracks. Turning left onto Hardscrabble Road, it follows the tracks away from the interstate to the site of the next station, North Salem's hamlet of Croton Falls.^[13] Just north of the hamlet, Route 22 crosses under the tracks, and is joined by US 202. Immediately afterward, the road crosses back under the railroad again and enters Putnam County, following the Croton River north past the spillway of East Branch Reservoir.

After paralleling the reservoir for almost two miles, a third route, US 6, joins the concurrency just east of the village of Brewster.^[14] The three routes cross under a high, long bridge carrying Interstate 84, then veer east to an interchange with the north end of I-684. US 6 and 202 continue east for Danbury while NY 22 uses the northbound on-ramp of the I-684 roadway. The short expressway connector that carries northbound I-684 traffic to northbound NY 22 is NY Reference Route 981B.

[edit] Harlem Valley, Taconics and Berkshires

Route 22 continues heading northeast, along a narrow strip of land between the East Branch and Bog Brook reservoirs. It then resumes its northward heading, following a much straighter course than it had up to this point, on two lanes through wooded areas of the town of Patterson, where two local state highways, NY 312 and 164, come in from the west. The highway gradually expands to three and sometimes four lanes as it passes some built-up areas with strip development. Shortly after intersecting a third state highway, NY 311, and passing another strip plaza, NY 22 crosses into Dutchess County.

After another supermarket strip to the east, a long, gentle divided bend in the road almosat a mile long ends with an overpass where NY 55 comes in from the west. It joins NY 22 as the two routes pass, returning to two lanes, pass through the eastern fringe of the village of Pawling and then by Trinity-Pawling School.^[15] Past the village, the railroad tracks come closer to the highway as NY 22 enters the scenic Harlem Valley, which lends its name to the line. Two miles beyond Pawling, the Appalachian Trail crosses the road, right next to its own flag stop on the line.

Routes 22 and 55 continues their long curve into the town of Dover, past the Harlem Valley-Wingdale station, located next to the road amidst the now-closed buildings of Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center. The NY 55 concurrency ends when that road heads towards Connecticut at Wingdale,^[16] once the last stop on the Harlem Line. As a result of a service extension in 2002, the diesel engines can be seen along the reopened track beyond here, through Dover Plains^[17] and into Amenia,^[18] where an overlap with NY 343 begins. The line finally ends at Wassaic,^[19] the most distant Metro-North station from the city in direct miles. Route 343 remains joined with Route 22 into the hamlet of Amenia, where it separates and heads towards state line. At the same junction, US 44 comes in from Millbrook to begin an overlap with Route 22. The valley opens up as the southern Taconics loom ahead.

After intersecting with NY 199 at its eastern end NY 22 and US 44 veer northeast into the small village of Millerton^[20] in the northern protrusion of Dutchess County's Oblong, an area once the subject of a boundary dispute between New York and Connecticut. US 44 continues eastward towards Connecticut while NY 22 resumes its northward course into the shadow of the ridge ahead, where three states converge near the 2,311-foot (704 m) Brace Mountain, Dutchess County's highest, and Connecticut's highest point on Mount Frissell's southern slope. At another gentle curve, NY 22 slips into Columbia County and the town of Ancram.^[21]

Massachusetts takes Connecticut's place as the state behind Alander Mountain and the other peaks visible to the east. The border would be even closer to the highway had the neighboring Boston Corner area not been ceded to New York when local bandits used it as a refuge in the early 19th century. The southernmost route from New York to the Massachusetts state line, NY 344, leaves for Bashbish Falls State Park at the hamlet of Copake Falls.^[22]

The next major junction is in Hillsdale where NY 23 crosses NY 22 on its way to state line-straddling Catamount Ski Center. At the hamlet of Green River, NY 71, the state's shortest two-digit route, begins at NY 22 heading east into Massachusetts. NY 22 then crosses into Austerlitz, where the surrounding terrain becomes much more wooded and the valleys become narrower.^[23] In the center of town, East Hill Road offers a short detour to Steepletop, the farm where Edna St. Vincent Millay lived. A short distance later, NY 22 intersects with NY 203 at its eastern end.

Route 22 then veers strongly to the northeast, resuming a northward direction only a short distance from the state line, a few hundred feet to the east. It then rounds a mountain and heads west, paralleling the New York State Thruway's Berkshire section (I-90) for a mile. NY 980D (an unsigned reference route) leaves to the east, where it becomes MA 102 at the state line. After Thruway exit B3, NY 22 resumes its northerly heading. From here, it passes Queechy Lake and intersects NY 295. NY 22 then straightens out to reach New Lebanon, where it intersects US 20. New York's longest east-west route (US 20) overlaps with its longest north-south route (NY 22) for a mile before the former continues to Pittsfield and the latter returns to the border-paralleling course, which takes it into Rensselaer County.^[24]

As NY 22 continues north, it remains, at first, within a mile of Massachusetts,^[25] moving to the east to intersect with NY 43 in Stephentown.^[26] North of that junction, it begins to run through a deep, isolated, lightly populated valley in the New York section of the Berkshires. Wide curves take the road through Berlin, where Berlin Mountain, the highest peak in the state outside of the Catskills and Adirondacks, caps the eastern skyline. Route 22 trends further west, then back east to where NY 2 crosses via an overpass at Petersburgh on its way to Petersburg Pass, the northernmost crossing of the New York-Massachusetts state line. The next road to head east from NY 22, NY 346 at North Petersburgh, enters Vermont.^[27]

Shortly afterward, the highway descends gently from the Berkshires to meet another major state road, NY 7, and overlaps with it for a short distance. Two miles after that concurrency ends, NY 22 follows the upper Hoosic River to Hoosick Falls, the first village it has passed through since Millerton.^[28] There are no other state routes here, but after another two miles (3 km), at North Hoosick, NY 67 comes in from the east and the two roads overlap as they leave Rensselaer County.

[edit] Washington County

Almost immediately after the joined roads cross the county line, NY 67 splits off to the west, crossing the Hoosick back into Rensselaer County, while NY 22 straightens out again to go due north. After four miles (6.4 km), it reaches Cambridge, where NY 313 forks off to the east. In the middle of town, NY 372, a local connector to Greenwich, ends.^[29]

North of Cambridge, the highway continues through a rolling landscape of fields and farms, the low transitional country between the Appalachians and the Adirondacks. Beyond NY 29's eastern terminus at Greenwich Junction, Route 22 begins trending eastward again through 18 miles (29 km) of countryside until, just before reaching Granville, it comes within a half-mile (800 m) of the state line, the closest it has come to that boundary since Austerlitz.^[30] At the south end of the village, NY 22 intersects NY 149 and the two routes overlap for several blocks until NY 149 begins its short journey to Vermont. Just north of Granville, the first of NY 22's two suffixed routes, NY 22A, begins its route running closely parallel to the state line and then into Vermont, where it becomes VT 22A, paralleling the parent route for some distance on the other side of the state line.^[30]

Immediately after this junction, NY 22 begins a long curve away from the state line that has it running due west at the end of NY 40 in North Granville. It heads northwest a bit further until, after passing between Great Meadows and Washington state prisons, it reaches US 4 and turns right to join it, resuming its northward course.^[31] The overlap with US 4, one of the few along Route 22 that pairs it with another north-south route, lasts for seven miles (11 km) along the base of the Adirondack foothills between the low country and Lake George, before ending in Whitehall, where US 4 leaves to assume the east-west course it takes across northern New England.^[32]

[edit] Adirondack Park and Lake Champlain

As NY 22 bends westward after leaving Whitehall, it rounds the north end of the ridge to the west, offering views into Vermont.^[32] Once again the Vermont state line is very near NY 22, but now it is separated from New York by water instead of land. The stream at the bottom of this valley, surrounded by the low-lying Drowned Lands flood plain, is the inflow for Lake Champlain. The lake's South Bay, which the road crosses immediately after this turn, is also the Blue Line. Route 22 has now entered Adirondack Park, the 6.1-million acre (24,000 km²) Forest Preserve and National Historic Landmark, and the largest state-level protected area in any state. Within the park, NY 22 mainly follows the lakeshore, closer to some of its more populated areas.

It continues along the hillside of Black Mountain, Washington County's highest peak, as it meanders north on the narrowing isthmus between Lakes Champlain and George. Near the northern end, it crosses the Essex County line. Two miles later, it reaches the first settlement along its length within the Adirondack Park, Ticonderoga.^[33]

The highway skirts the northeastern edge of the village, the site of key battles in both the French and Indian and Revolutionary Wars, as NY 74 comes in from the ferry to the east. This overlap lasts for almost two miles until NY 74 goes straight ahead at the intersection with NY 9N, while NY 22 turns right to join NY 9N, the longest suffixed route in the state, and return to its northbound orientation.^[33]

At first Routes 22 and 9N veer west, away from the lake, but then return to its shoreline to avoid a nearby mountain, just before Crown Point.^[34] Another reference route, NY 910L, runs from 9N and 22 along the peninsula to become VT 17. They remain close to the widening lake for the next 15 miles (25 km) through Port Henry to Westport, where 9N leaves for Elizabethtown.^[35] Beyond that junction, Route 22 again turns inland, going through the easy pass around Split Rock Mountain. At Bouquet, it makes an abrupt right turn to go due east back to the lakeshore and ferry landing at Essex.^[36]

Route 22 heads to the northwest again, away from the lake, until it heads west and intersects US 9 in the town of Chesterfield, the other major north-south surface route up the state's eastern side. Routes 22 and 9 join together, closely parallel to the Adirondack Northway (Interstate 87), the only other route in the state to directly connect New York City with Canada.^[37] The three routes, spread over many miles in the southern part of the state, run through a narrow corridor for two miles until Routes 9 and 22 veer east again toward Keeseville.^[38]

Here Route 9N ends, and Routes 9 and 22 separate.^[38] The two will exchange corridors, with US 9 following the lake shore line while NY 22 remains mostly inland. NY 22 enters Clinton County just north of Keeseville, and then leaves Adirondack Park two miles beyond at the Peru town line.^[39]

[edit] Clinton County

Just south of the hamlet of Peru, the short NY 442 terminates at Route 22.^[39] In the hamlet itself, after the Little Au Sable River crossing, NY 22's other suffixed route, NY 22B, branches off further inland. NY 22 continues north of Peru, and returns to the Northway's side again in a mile. After another five miles, it has its first exit on the Northway near the now-closed Plattsburgh Air Force Base. It continues northeastward, crossing the Saranac River into Plattsburgh, the first city and most populous community NY 22 has passed through since White Plains.^[40]

NY 22 runs along South Catherine Street for a few blocks, then divides into one way couplets for the first time since Westchester County, with northbound traffic moving a block to the east to follow Oak Street, while southbound traffic comes down North Catherine Street.^[40] It parallels US 9 for a couple of blocks, intersecting NY 3 (Cornelia Street) just a block west of its eastern terminus at that highway. After Boynton Avenue, the separate streets reunite and turns northwest just before it has its second and final exit with the Northway. Just after the exit, NY 374 begins along the westbound route as NY 22 turns to the north once again.

The highway follows the railroad tracks into Beekmantown until it bears left at a fork, trending further west to Beekmantown Corners, where another short local road, NY 456, comes to its western end.^[41] After crossing into the next town, Chazy, NY 22 bears left again at another fork to drift further to the west. The terrain around the road becomes increasingly wooded, with long unbroken stretches of pine, in the northern portion of the town. This is briefly broken at another western terminus of a short local road, NY 191, in the hamlet of Sciota.^[42]

Route 22 continues past Sciota in a fairly straight north-northwesterly course through more woods with small home and farm clearings.^[42] Those yield to mostly fields just before the Great Chazy River, after which NY 22 meets US 11, the last highway to intersect 22. The road's last concurrency takes it west a short distance into the hamlet of Mooers, where it then turns right to follow the due-north Hemmingford Road.^[43] It passes straight through more open country, heavily farmed, for two miles (3 km) until the Star Road intersection, where it begins to bend to the northwest and the surrounding borderlands become more wooded. The road straightens out again along a northwesterly alignment until it passes the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement station on the west side of the road and reaches the Canadian border.^[43] After passing through the Canadian customs station, the roadway continues an additional 46 km (29 miles) to Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu as QC 219.^[44]

[edit] History

[edit] Old roads

The road from modern-day Bronx (then part of Westchester County) through White Plains to Bedford and to points north was originally an old Indian path.^[45] This path was later used and widened by the first European settlers. During colonial times, the road was known as "the road to Bedford and Vermont".^[45] Further north, near Lake Champlain, the road now used by Route 22 was used by the St. Francis Indians of Canada as they went south to find warmer fishing areas.^[46] The old road was also used heavily during the American Revolution to transport iron south from the mines in the Adirondacks.^[46]

From the time that the village of White Plains became the county seat of Westchester County in 1759, the road between it and the city of New York (then encompassing only Manhattan) became an important route and was established as the White Plains Post Road. Before 1797, the main road heading to points north and east out of Manhattan went via Kingsbridge along the old Boston Post Road.^[47] A new bridge over the Harlem River (the original Harlem Bridge) was opened in 1797, shortening the route out of Manhattan. This also relocated the Boston and White Plains Post Roads to a new alignment along Third Avenue and Boston Road. The White Plains Post Road separated from the Boston Post Road in Bronxdale, with the road to Boston heading east and the road to White Plains heading north. The old White Plains Post Road roughly followed the alignment of modern-day White Plains Road, which was laid out in 1863.^[47] (The original post road was to the east of the modern-day avenue). The White Plains Post Road continued north through Olinville, Wakefield, and Mount Vernon, where the route shifted east to modern-day White Plains Post Road, going through Bronxville and Scarsdale to White Plains.^[48]

The stretch from Salem to the Vermont border in Granville was part of the old Northern Turnpike, which began in Lansingburgh and went along modern-day Route 40. The Northern Turnpike was chartered on April 1, 1799.^[49]

[edit] Public ownership

In 1868, the Legislature of New York State formed a commission "to regulate, grade, widen, gravel, and improve the old White Plains Post Road", which was amended in 1870 to "macadamize the road"^[50] between Mount Vernon and White Plains. The post road south of Mount Vernon, which was part of New York City, was later widened between 1902 and 1908.^[47]

State highways were first formally defined by the state legislature in 1909 and given numeric designations,^[51] although these initial designations were not publicly signed. Portions of modern Route 22 were defined as part of legislative routes 1 and 22. Legislative route 1 went from the New York City line north along the White Plains Post Road to White Plains, then detoured to Harrison (via Westchester Avenue), and then went north to Armonk (via modern NY 120). Legislative route 1 continued north along modern NY 22 to Austerlitz, where it then turned northwest to Valatie (via modern NY 203), then following US 9 to Albany. Legislative route 22 had two segments. The southern segment began in Troy, following NY 7 to Hoosick, then went north along modern NY 22 up to Putnam Station (south of Ticonderoga).

[edit] Route 22 designation

In 1924, New York signed several major state roads with route numbers. Most of Legislative Route 1 was designated as NY 22, but with a direct route between White Plains and Armonk.^[2] Also, instead of continuing to Valatie, NY 22 initially ended at Hillsdale (at the intersection with NY 23).^[2] By 1929, the road to Valatie had been improved and NY 22 was extended to U.S. Route 9, with a length of 139 miles.^[52] The middle section of modern NY 22 was designated in 1924 as NY 24, running for 75 miles from Stephentown to Comstock.^[2] The portion of modern NY 22 north of Whitehall remained unnumbered in 1924 but gained the designation of NY 30 in 1925, when the original NY 30, which began in Mechanicville, was extended north of Whitehall to the Canadian border.^[53] In the 1930 renumbering, the NY 24 and NY 30 designations were both reassigned elsewhere. The NY 22 designation was extended north along old NY 24 and NY 30,^[3] incorporating newly improved roads between Austerlitz and Stephentown, resulting in a route length of 370 miles.^[54] The segment of old NY 22 between Austerlitz and Valatie was renumbered to NY 203.^[3]

In December 1934, at the insistence of the Automobile Club of New York, several numbered routes were extended and signed within New York City, with NY 22 being one of these routes. NY 22 was extended south from the Mount Vernon line in the Bronx along White Plains Road, then it shifted via East 233rd Street to Webster Avenue until Fordham Road (U.S. Route 1). From Fordham Road, it continued south along the Grand Concourse (overlapped with NY 100), crossing into Manhattan via East 149th Street to the 145th Street Bridge. In Manhattan, the NY 22/100 pair continued south along Lenox Avenue, 110th Street, Fifth Avenue, 96th Street, and Park Avenue, ending at Houston Street (NY 1A).^[55] By 1941, the alignment within Mount Vernon was shifted east to use Columbus Avenue and South 3rd Avenue (current NY 22), continuing its route to New York City via East 233rd Street as before.^[56] On January 1, 1970, the NY 22 designation was removed from Manhattan and most of the Bronx, and the short piece remaining in the city was realigned to meet US 1 at its current southern terminus.^[57]

[edit] U.S. Route 7

In the original plan for the U.S. Highway System, as approved by the Bureau of Public Roads in November 1926,^[58] U.S. Route 7 was defined as beginning in New York City and designated on the alignment of NY 22 to Amenia, where it shifted northeast into Sharon, Connecticut to use old New England Route 4 through Massachusetts and Vermont all the way to the Canadian border. This was apparently not approved by New York State, and by mid-1927, the official route log published by AASHO (now known as AASHTO) had been changed such that the southern end of U.S. Route 7 began in Norwalk, Connecticut instead.^[59]

[edit] Realignments

Over the course of many years, several sections of NY 22 were straightened out and/or realigned to new roads. Some old alignments are still either county-maintained or state-maintained. Several old alignments are still marked in Dutchess County: NY 980G (a reference route) in Dover Plains at the south junction with NY 343; County Route 81 between Wingdale and Amenia in the town of Amenia; and County Route 6 between the hamlets of Wingdale and Dover Plains, along the west bank of the Tenmile River, in the town of Dover. During the 44/22 concurrency, the intersection with County Route 5 south of Millerton is a former alignment of Route 22.

Before the construction of I-684, NY 22 continued northeast along Sodom Road north of Brewster on what is now County Road 50, a dead-end road maintained by Putnam County. Modern NY 22 joins the I-684 roadway at Exit 10 (the northern terminus of I-684) and connects to the surface road on the opposite side of the Croton River via the NY 981B connector. South of Copake Falls, an old alignment is also still state-maintained and designated as NY 980F.

[edit] Suffixed routes

NY 22 has two suffixed routes, both located in the North Country.

• NY 22A (10.61 miles (17.08 km)^[1]) is a spur connecting NY 22 to the Vermont state line south of Fair Haven. Once in Vermont, the route becomes VT 22A.
• NY 22B (10.90 miles (17.54 km)^[1]) is a bypass around the southern and western extents of Plattsburgh. NY 22B begins at NY 22 in Peru and continues north through Schuyler Falls to Morrisonville, where it terminates at NY 3 near Clinton County Airport.
