[edit] Route description

Route 825 begins at an interchange with the Utica-Rome Expressway in Rome.^[3] The route heads northward, intersecting with local roads in the Griffiss Business and Technology Park. Route 825 turns to the northeast, passing to the south of Oneida County Airport and terminating at an intersection with Route 46 in Rome.^[3]

[edit] History

Construction on the four-lane roadway that became the southernmost segment of NY 825 began on November 20, 2001 with a groundbreaking ceremony. The $8.5 million project was completed by the following October, at which time the roadway was signed as NY 825.^[2] NY 825 was later extended northward along surface streets to intersect NY 46.

On July 3, 2007, all of NY 825 was officially designated the Griffiss Veterans' Memorial Parkway after legislation proposing the name was signed into law by Governor Eliot Spitzer.^[4]
