[edit] Route description

Route 249 begins at an intersection with New York State Route 5 (also known as the Seaway Trail) in Farnham. Route 249 heads to the southeast, then to the east, and southeast again as Commercial Street. Much of the region in southeastern Erie County is mainly is farmland and residential, and the highway crosses much of this. Route 249 intersects with U.S. Route 20 and crosses over the New York State Thruway. After the Thruway, Route 249 loses its Commercial Street designation and passes eastward through fields and homes. The highway intersects with Erie County Route 9 (former southern terminus of New York State Route 323) in Brant.^[2]

Route 249 crosses through a small forest as Brant-North Collins Road. At the intersection with Versailles Plank Road, Route 249 turns to the north along the route. The highway quickly turns off onto Brant Road and continues eastward. Route 249 crosses over a stream and becomes concurrent for 23 feet (7.0 m) in North Collins with U.S. Route 62. Route 249 turns in a different directions and turns onto Langford Road and heads into Langford, where it terminates at New York State Route 75.^[2]
