Route description

NY 172 then continues east as Pound Ridge Road into the town of Pound Ridge. It ends at NY 137 in the hamlet of Pound Ridge.

History

NY 172 was established as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. Originally, it only extended between Mount Kisco and Bedford Village.[1] The section east of NY 22 was originally maintained by Westchester County as part of County Route 3 (CR 3) from NY 22 to Long Ridge Road and as CR 103 from Long Ridge Road to NY 137.[3] On September 1, 1980, ownership and maintenance of Pound Ridge Road between Bedford and Pound Ridge was transferred from the county to the state of New York as part of a larger highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government.[4] Pound Ridge Road became an extension of NY 172 following the swap.[5]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Westchester County.
