New York State Route 378
New York State Route 378 (NY 378) is a state highway in the Capital District of New York in the United States. It runs from Loudonville to Troy and traverses the Hudson River via the Menands Bridge. NY 378 once connected to Menands Road in the village of Menands; however, Menands Road has since been split in two. NY 378 connects the western part of Menands Road with Troy. NY 378 continues west of U.S. Route 9 as Osborne Road (County Route 154). At its eastern terminus, NY 378 continues north as U.S. Route 4. US 4 southbound is accessed by an eastward turn at the terminus.
History
NY 378 was assigned in the mid-1930s to Menands Road, a short connector road between U.S. Route 9 in Loudonville and NY 32 in Menands. The Troy–Menands Bridge linking Menands to Troy was initially unnumbered.[1][2] In the early 1940s, NY 2 was extended south from Troy to downtown Albany by way of the bridge.[4][5] NY 378 was realigned east of NY 377 in the early 1950s to follow a new highway connecting directly to the Troy–Menands Bridge.[6][7] On January 1, 1970, NY 2 was truncated to Troy on its western end. Its former routing across the Hudson River to U.S. Route 4 in southern Troy became an extension of NY 378.[8]
