[edit] Route description

Route 631 begins at NY 370 near the eastern edge of Baldwinsville. The route heads northward through Lysander, paralleling the Baldwinsville village line to an intersection with NY 31. The two routes briefly overlap for one-half mile before separating at Lysander's Radisson Community. Past NY 31, NY 631 heads northward as the four-lane Willett Parkway, then bears west onto the two-lane West Entry Road, acting as a bypass of northeast Baldwinsville. Proceeding west, it crosses an industrial railroad siding while turning slightly south, then west again.[3]

Just west of the siding, NY 631 intersects Sixty Road (CR 140) as it becomes known as Hencle Boulevard. NY 631 continues on, crossing the CSX Transportation Baldwinsville Subdivision ahead of an intersection with County Route 229 adjacent to Lysander Park. West of CR 229, the route curves to the northwest and meets NY 48 northwest of Baldwinsville. NY 48 and NY 631 briefly overlap an junction with the northern terminus of NY 690, where NY 631 ends.[4]

Maintenance of NY 631 varies along the route. From NY 370 to NY 31, as well as on the portions that overlap other state routes, maintenance on NY 631 is performed by the New York State Department of Transportation.[5] Between CR 140 and NY 48, the roadway is maintained by Onondaga County as County Route 95.[6] From NY 31 to CR 140, maintenance is performed by the town of Lysander.

[edit] History

Route 631 was commissioned in June 1999[2] to a series of pre-existing roadways[6] between Route 31 and Routes 48 and 690. In late 2001, it was extended south to Route 370.[2]
