[edit] Route description

Route 334 begins at an intersection with NY 5 (West Main Street) in Fonda. From its beginning, the highway parallels NY 30A. Route 334 passes through residential homes, with the road surrounded by forests. Route 334 passes by the Cayadutta Creek as it enters the hamlet of Berryville and out of Fonda. As NY 334 leaves Fonda on Cayadutta Street, it zigzags around an underpass for the former Fonda, Johnstown, and Gloversville Railroad. The route continues in a winding manner, running along the creek until it breaks away near Old Trail Road.[3]

After entering Fulton County, Route 334 passes and crosses the creek several times along with passing nearby fields. Route 334 intersects with County Route 116 in the hamlet of Sammonsville, where it turns to the northeast, continuing to parallel Cayadutta Creek. Route 334 then terminates at an intersection with NY 67 in Johnstown.[3]

[edit] History

Route 334 was assigned to its current routing by 1935.[2]
