[edit] Route description
[edit] NY 320
Route 320 begins at an intersection with New York State Route 12 in Norwich. The highway heads eastward, passing small businesses, and crosses over a river. Just after the river, Route 320 passes a suburbanized area, with businesses and homes surrounding the highway for a short distance. As the road leaves Norwich, it intersects with County Route 32, where then the highway becomes a rural road, with houses leading the way. As Route 320 heads to the northeast, a small forest begins to parallel to its south. The forest soon makes way for fields and farms, with the highway heading through rural parts of Chenango County. At the intersection with Tiffany Road, Route 320 ends and the highway becomes County Route 29.[3]
[edit] Chenango County Road 29
Route 320, which had terminated at an intersection with Tiffany Road, continues to the northeast as Chenango County Road 29. CR 29 heads through more rural regions of Chenango County, intersecting with local roads that are surrounded by trees and farms. After passing through Kings Settlement, the highway turns northward towards New Berlin. For a while, there is nothing around the highway until the intersection with County Road 28. County Road 29 heads past a small lake and homes begin to return around the highway. The highway then turns to the southeast, intersecting with local roads and enters the area of New Berlin. There it becomes known as West Street.[4]
In New Berlin, County Road 29 enters the downtown area and terminates at an intersection with New York State Route 8 and New York State Route 80. West Street continues as NY 80 East.[4]
[edit] History
Route 320 was assigned in the 1930 New York State Route renumbering.[2] Route 320 has remained intact ever since. In 2005, Chenango County Road 29 was repaved along its complete 8.56 miles (13.78 km) length.[5]
