County Route 119 (Steuben County, New York)
Encyclopedia
New York State Route 17F (NY 17F) was a state highway
located in the Southern Tier
of New York
in the United States. The western terminus of the route was at then-NY 17
(now NY 417
) in Andover
, Allegany County
. The eastern terminus was at NY 17 (current NY 417) in Addison
, Steuben County
. NY 17F was an alternate to NY 17 between the two locations, branching north to serve Almond
, Hornell
, and Canisteo
.
NY 17F was removed in the early 1940s and replaced with various routes, including NY 36
, Steuben County Route 119, and New York State Route 432 (the latter of which eventually became part of CR 119 itself).
(modern Route 417
) in the village of Andover
. The route headed through the village, intersecting with the local roads. At .8 of a mile, Route 17F left Andover and headed north for several miles, intersecting with NY 244
and Allegany County Route 42 at 8.5 miles (13.7 kilometres) in Alfred Station. Route 17F headed north out of Alfred Station and intersected with Allegany County Route 12 at 11.9 miles (19.15 kilometres).
Route 17F entered the village of Almond
, paralleling the right-of-way of the modern Southern Tier Expressway and intersecting with Allegany County Route 2. Route 17F entered Steuben County
and entered the city of Hornell
at 16.2 miles (26.1 kilometres). Route 17F then turned to the south in Hornell, overlapping NY 21
(now NY 36
) south to the village of Canisteo
. Within the village, it intersected with NY 248
at 22.7 miles (36.5 kilometres) before separating from NY 21 and continuing eastward out of Canisteo. Route 17F then passed through the towns of Cameron
and Rathbone
before coming to an end at Route 17 (current Route 417) in Addison
.
originally followed a different, more northerly alignment between Andover
and Jasper
. Instead of continuing east to Jasper on a direct line from Andover, NY 17 curved north to serve Hornell
by way of what is now NY 21
and NY 36
. NY 17 was rerouted in the 1930 renumbering to follow a previously unnumbered direct route between Andover and Jasper while the old routing between Andover and Hornell became NY 17F. NY 17F also continued south along NY 21 (which replaced NY 17 from Hornell to Jasper) to Canisteo
, then east over an unnumbered roadway to NY 17 in Addison
(via Cameron
and Rathbone
).
NY 17F remained unchanged until the early 1940s when the route was removed from the state highway system. The portion between Andover and Hornell became an extension of NY 36 while the short segment between Myers Creek southeast of Rathbone and Addison became NY 432. The remainder of Canisteo River Road from Canisteo to Rathbone became CR 119.
NY 432 stayed intact up to April 1, 1997, when a large-scale highway swap between the New York State Department of Transportation
(NYSDOT) and Steuben County
eventually resulted in the transfer of NY 432 to the county. In exchange for assuming maintenance over NY 415
from Meads Creek Road in Coopers Plains (northwest of Painted Post
) to Babcock Hollow Road in Bath
as well as Hamilton Street from U.S. Route 15 in Erwin
to Robert Dann Drive in Gang Mills
, NYSDOT transferred both NY 432 and nearby NY 333
to Steuben County. NY 333 was redesignated as CR 333 immediately following the swap; NY 432, however, remained in place for an additional 14 months before becoming part of an extended CR 119 on June 25, 1998.
