Route description

NY 310 begins at U.S. Route 11/NY 68 near Canton just north of the St. Lawrence University. It heads north-northwest for a time on Tupper Road, which then becomes Canton-Madrid Road. It intersects with CR 85, which is just east of the Partridge Run Golf and Country Club. The route turns north-northeast, passing between several small lakes and ponds. It heads almost due-north and enters Bucks Bridge. In a mostly rural area, an intersection with NY 345 as NY 310 enters Madrid. This intersection brings a name change to Madrid-Norfolk Road. NY 310 then intersects with CR 44, and proceeds northeast to its intersection with CR 39, allowing NY 310 to terminate at NY 56 near Norfolk.[3]

History

The portion of modern NY 310 from NY 345 in Madrid to County Road 38 near Norfolk was originally designated as part of NY 56A in the 1930 renumbering. South of Madrid, the route followed what is now NY 345 to meet NY 56 in Potsdam; in the vicinity of Norfolk, the route used current CR 38.[4][5] Although signed as a state highway, the segment of NY 56A from the modern junction of NY 310 and NY 345 in Madrid to River Road west of Norfolk was maintained by St. Lawrence County.[6][7][8] NY 56A remained unchanged until its deletion on April 10, 1980.[9]

The NY 310 designation was created on September 1, 1982, as a result of a highway maintenance swap between New York State, St. Lawrence County, and the towns of Norfolk and Canton. As part of the swap, the state assumed maintenance over all of what is now NY 310,[1] which had been county-maintained from State Street north of Canton to Madrid-Norfolk Road west of Norfolk and town-maintained past those points.[6][7][8][10] In exchange, the county was given control over the portion of West Main Street (former NY 56A) between River Road and NY 56.[1][8]

Major intersections

The entire route is in St. Lawrence County.
