New York State Route 182 (NY 182) is a state highway in Niagara County, New York, United States. It serves as a signed connection between the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge over the Niagara River and the Niagara Falls International Airport east of the city of Niagara Falls. The western terminus of the route is at the roadway leading to the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge in Niagara Falls and its eastern terminus is at U.S. Route 62 in Wheatfield. In between, NY 182 runs across the city of Niagara Falls, following several local streets as it makes its way from the Niagara River gorge to the suburbs of Niagara Falls.

Route description

From the eastbound customs station on the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge, NY 182 turns south onto Whirlpool Street, an at-grade road that parallels the Robert Moses State Parkway for most of its routing through Niagara Falls. Two intersections to the south, NY 182 turns east onto Cleveland Avenue. The route follows the street east to Lockport Avenue, where NY 182 follows the northeast alignment of the road to Ontario Avenue. At this intersection, NY 182 resumes an eastward progression as it travels through the northern portion of Niagara Falls.

At Hyde Park Blvd., NY 61, NY 182 forms a short concurrency with the route south to Porter Road, making an eastward turn at the intersection and passing through the center of Hyde Park before connecting to Interstate 190 at exit 23. Just east of the exit, Porter Road comes to an end, forcing NY 182 onto Packard Road as it intersects NY 265, Military Road. A short distance from this point, Porter Road resumes, allowing NY 182 to return to the road.

Porter Road, and likewise NY 182, continues to the southeast, forming the southern edge of the Niagara Falls International Airport, before turning due east and terminating at an angled intersection with US 62 south of the center of the airport.

History

The length of NY 182 was originally designated as NY 18D ca. 1932.[4][5] The designation of the route was changed to NY 182 when NY 18 was truncated to NY 104 in Lewiston ca. 1962.[1][2]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Niagara County.
