New York State Route 176 (NY 176) is a north–south state highway located in the central part of New York, United States, that connects Cayuga County with Oswego County. The southern terminus of the route is at an intersection with NY 370 in the northeast part of the town of Cato, east of Meridian. Its northern terminus is at a junction with NY 48 in the city of Fulton.

The route used to extend north from its current northern terminus to NY 3 three-quarters of a mile to the north and, earlier, to a northern terminus at County Route 4 in the town of Scriba, east of the City of Oswego.

Route description

Route 176 begins at NY 370 in the town of Cato east of the village of Meridian. It proceeds north, passing into the town of Ira and intersecting Ira Hill East Road (County Route 38) before crossing into Oswego County. Roughly 0.5 miles (0.8 km) past the county line in the Hannibal hamlet of South Hannibal, the route turns to the northwest toward Fulton.[3]

At the Granby community of Bowens Corners, it intersects County Route 8 southwest of Lake Neatahwanta. NY 176 continues on to Fulton,[3] where it terminates at NY 48 just south of the downtown district.[2]

History

When NY 176 was originally assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, it encompassed only its modern routing between NY 370 near Meridian and NY 48 in Fulton.[1] Ca. 1932, the route was extended north through Fulton on NY 48, NY 3, 7th Street, and Whittaker Road to the Scriba hamlet of South Scriba, where it ended at a simple four-way intersection with modern County Route 4.[4][5] The northward extension of NY 176 was eliminated on April 1, 1980, as part of a highway maintenance swap between the state of New York and Oswego County. In the swap, ownership and maintenance of NY 176 north of the Fulton city line was transferred from the state to the county in exchange for maintenance of the portions of NY 3 and NY 34 between the Cayuga–Oswego County line and NY 104.[6] NY 176 was truncated to its junction with NY 48 south of Fulton following the swap while the former routing of NY 176 between the Fulton city line and County Route 4 in South Scriba became County Route 176.[7][8] Signage for NY 176 remained on NY 48 in Fulton until 2004.[9]
