New York State Route 428 was a north-south state highway located within Chautauqua County, New York. Its northern terminus was located at the junction with US 20 in the village of Silver Creek. Its southern terminus was located at the junction with New York State Route 39 in Forestville. The road was given to Chautauqua County in 1980 as part of a roadway maintenance trade between the county and the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and is now the northernmost section of County Route 85.

Route 428 began at an intersection with New York State Route 39 and County Route 87 in Forestville. Route 428 headed north, intersecting with several local roads and CR 89 as it exited the village. Outside of Forestville in Hanover, NY 428 continued northward through farmland, paralleling CR 89 to the hamlet of Keaches Corners, where it met CR 84.[5]

Route 428 crossed paths with CR 86 at 3.3 miles (5.3 km) prior to passing under the New York State Thruway (Interstate 90). Past the Thruway, NY 428 continued north into Silver Creek, where it turned west for two blocks before terminating at US 20 south of the village center.[5]

[edit] History

NY 428 was assigned in the early 1930s to a previously unnumbered roadway between Forestville and Silver Creek.[3][4] The route remained intact until 1980 when the roadway was given to Chautauqua County as part of a large-scale maintenance swap of routes within the county. Under the terms of the deal, NY 428 was transferred to the county along with NY 424, NY 380 north of Stockton, and two reference routes in the vicinity of Dunkirk and Fredonia. In exchange, NYSDOT assumed control over NY 394 between US 20 and NY 5 in Westfield, U.S. Route 62 from NY 60 to NY 394 east of Jamestown, and Forest Avenue (Reference Route 952P) from the Pennsylvania state line in Busti to NY 60 in Jamestown. Although the swap was officially conducted on April 1,[6] NY 428 was not removed until September 9.[2] CR 85, which ran from CR 66 in Thornton to NY 39 in Forestville at the time, was then extended northward over the former routing of NY 428 to Silver Creek.
