New York State Route 350 is a north-south state highway located entirely within Wayne County, New York. The route, which acts as the eastern terminus for a handful of state routes, is one of the major north-south arterials in Wayne County, linking NY 104 to NY 31. The southern terminus of NY 350 is at NY 31 in the village of Macedon. Its northern endpoint is at NY 104 in Ontario Center.

[edit] Route description

Just east of the village of Macedon, NY 350 begins at an intersection with NY 31 near the former Mobil Chemical and Tyco plant, the largest business in the town. This intersection is also the eastern terminus of NY 31F, which overlaps NY 350 north from this intersection, forming a technically unnecessary concurrency that lasts until Macedon Center, where NY 31F turns west toward Rochester while NY 350 turns to the east, then to the north.

North of Macedon Center, NY 350 receives its first and only name, Ontario Center Road. Farther north, in Walworth, NY 350 is the eastern terminus for two routes. First, at a four-way intersection with Walworth-Penfield Road, NY 441 comes to an end. Next, 1.75 miles (2.82 km) to the north, NY 286 ends at a three-way intersection.

Between NY 286 and NY 104, NY 350 does not intersect any state routes. Instead, it crosses many local roads, swerving to the northeast, then to the northwest before meeting NY 104 in Ontario Center.

[edit] History

NY 350 was assigned by 1938 to its current alignment between NY 31 in Macedon and NY 33B (now NY 31F) near Macedon Center. At the time, NY 33B continued north on what is now NY 350 to NY 33 (now NY 441) in Walworth. Farther north, the current routing of NY 350 between modern NY 286 and U.S. Route 104 (Ridge Road) was part of NY 35. The section between NY 33B and NY 35 was unnumbered.[2] By 1947, NY 350 had been extended northward along its current alignment to Ridge Road in Ontario Center.[3] The route was extended for the final time by 1961 to meet the new alignment of US 104 north of Ridge Road.[4]
