Route description

In the south, NY 95 begins at US 11 in Moira. Initially parallel to County Route 17, it heads almost due north, intersecting with several local streets. In flat terrain, NY 95 intersects County Route 32 and runs parallel to the Little Salmon River. After a series of turns, it once again heads directly northward. As it enters Bombay, the highway intersects County Route 4 and makes a sharp turn to the west. The Route turns north-northwestward and comes to an end at NY 37, east of Hogansburg.[3]

History

NY 95 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to an alignment extending from Saint Regis Falls in the south to the vicinity of Hogansburg in the north via Moira.[1][4] It was truncated to its current southern terminus in Moira ca. 1937.[5][6] The former alignment of NY 95 between Saint Regis Falls and Moira is now maintained by Franklin County as County Route 5.[7][8]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Franklin County.
