There are four county highways with designations above 900 in the Niagara County, New York, county road system. None of these designations are signed as Niagara County does not sign their highways, and thus are better known by their accompanying road name. The locations of the four routes are scattered across the county.

Three of the four routes—CR 902 (Lower Mountain Road in the town of Cambria), CR 903 (Hinman Road in the town of Lockport), and CR 905 (Griswold Road in the town of Royalton)—do not overlap other routes. The fourth, CR 907, is a designation for a 5-mile (8.0 km) long county-maintained portion of NY 18F alongside the Niagara River. All four highways were assigned by 1996 and are marked on New York State Department of Transportation digital raster quadrangles.

CR 907 is the highest three-digit county route in terms of designation in the state of New York. Overall, it is the second-highest numbered county route in the state; only CR 1345 in the Saratoga County town of Mechanicville has a higher designation.

County Route 902

County Route 902
Location: Cambria–Lockport
Length: 4.05 mi[1] (6.52 km)
Existed: by 1996[2][3]–present

County Route 902 is an east–west county highway located in the town of Cambria and the town of Lockport. The route heads eastward along Lower Mountain Road, continued by CR 116 and NY 425 along its right-of-way to the west. The western terminus is at an intersection with NY 425, and the eastern terminus is located at Gothic Hill Road, where the CR 902 designation ends and Lower Mountain Road becomes CR 125.[4]

Route 902 begins at an intersection with NY 425 in the community of Cambria Center. The highway progresses eastward through the rural segments of Niagara County, passing fields and residential homes along the stretch of Lower Mountain Road. The route intersects with Green Road, where it forks, with CR 902 heading to the northeast, and CR 64 (Thrall Road) heading to the southeast.[4]

CR 902 continues through the same regions, intersecting with Plank Road and Budd Road, which head northward out of Cambria. The highway heads eastward, entering the community of Hickory Corners, where it intersects with NY 93, which is co-designated by the Niagara County Highway Department as CR 114. The route heads straight eastward for a short distance, until turns to the southeast, intersecting with Leete Road. After a short distance, Route 902 intersects with Gothic Hill Road and becomes CR 125 (Niagara Street Extension).[4]

All of CR 902 was originally designated as part of NY 93 in the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York.[5] NY 93 was realigned in the early 1940s to follow North Ridge Road, U.S. Route 104 (now NY 104), and Junction Road between the hamlet of North Ridge and Lower Mountain Road,[6][7] and altered again in the late 1970s to bypass Lower Mountain and Gothic Hill roads on Junction and Upper Mountain roads.[8][9] NY 93's former routing along Lower Mountain Road was designated as CR 902 by 1996.[2][3]
