New York State Route 147
New York State Route 147 (NY 147) is a north–south state highway in the Capital District of New York, United States. The southern terminus of the route is at an intersection with NY 5 west of Schenectady in the village of Scotia. Its northern terminus is at a junction with NY 29 in the town of Galway. NY 147 intersects NY 67 in the town of Charlton and serves mainly as a connector between the Schenectady area and the region surrounding Great Sacandaga Lake.
History
In 1912, the New York State Legislature created Route 37-a,[3] an unsigned legislative route extending from Route 25 (now NY 50) in the village of Ballston Spa to Route 37 (modern NY 29) in the town of Galway by way of Scotch Church and the village of Galway.[4] The portion of Route 37-a between Scotch Church and NY 29 north of Galway village became the northern half of NY 147, a new route extending from Scotia to Galway, as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. NY 147 has remained unchanged since that time.[1]
