New York State Route 196 (NY 196) is a state route in New York, running from the village of Hudson Falls east to the hamlet of South Hartford in Hartford, Washington County.

Along NY 196 is the northern terminus of NY 32 (Burgoyne Avenue), which oddly intersects NY 196 on its north side. NY 32 crosses US 4 north of the western terminus of NY 196, and then curves southward for its final segment. The route then continues south of NY 196 as County Route 37.

Route description

Route 196 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 4 in the suburbs of Hudson Falls.[3] The highway progresses eastward, intersecting with local roads before leaving the city limits. Just after the city limits, NY 32 and Washington County Route 37 both terminate at the same intersection along 196. Route 196 then intersects with local roads before crossing a river. On the other side of the river is an intersection with Washington County Route 42.[3]

Route 196 progresses through farmlands in rural Washington County and intersects with short local roads before intersecting with Washington County Route 43.[3] There, Route 196 turns to the northeast and passes to the south of the Pole Valley Players Club. Route 196 terminates at an intersection with NY 40.[3]

History

NY 196 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to its current alignment.[1]
