List of highways in Warren County, New York
Encyclopedia
The road system of Warren County, New York
, consists of roads maintained by the state of New York
(through the New York State Department of Transportation
or NYSDOT), the county, and its towns and villages. The county and state-maintained roads account for about 470 miles (756.4 km) of the highway system in New York
. Most roads within the county are short connectors, while others are sections of 30 miles (48.3 km) long highways. There is one Interstate Highway in Warren County, Interstate 87 (I-87), also known as the Adirondack Northway. There is one U.S. Highway, U.S. Route 9 (US 9), and eight state-numbered signed touring routes in the county, the longest being New York State Route 9N (NY 9N). There are three other state-maintained reference routes in the county, the longest being NY 917A, commonly known as the Prospect Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway
. Additionally, there are 81 county-maintained routes, most of which are short connectors between more major roads.
The longest state route within the county is NY 9N, which spans 48.58 miles (78.18 km) in the county alone. The shortest state-maintained route is NY 911E, a 0.2 mile (0.321868 km) reference route. These roads supply some of the major municipalities in Warren County, including the city of Glens Falls
, the towns of Warrensburg
and Queensbury
, along with the village of Lake George
.
is the only Interstate Highway that enters Warren County. It travels for 38.53 miles (62 km) within the county and has nine interchange
s along the way. Exits off the highway serve Glens Falls
, Queensbury
, Warrensburg
, Lake George
, Bolton Landing
, and Chestertown
. The highway once terminated in downtown Lake George, with its former two-lane
end becoming NY 912Q after the highway was extended northward.
There have been two U.S. Highways in Warren County. The longest—and the only current one—is US 9, which spans for over 40.43 miles (65.1 km) within the county. Since its designation in 1926, US 9 services the city of Glens Falls, Queensbury, the village of Lake George, Warrensburg and Chestertown before leaving for Essex County
. US 9 once had four suffixed routes in the county; however, only two still exist. Also assigned in 1926 was US 4
, which initially terminated in Glens Falls at US 9. It was realigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to follow the Hudson River
south from Hudson Falls
to the Capital District
, bypassing Warren County to the east.
s are posted along the state-maintained sections of the routes. There have been 18 state signed touring routes in Warren County since the modern state touring system was established in 1924; however, only 10 of them remain. Three routes created in 1924—NY 6, NY 10
, and NY 30—entered the Warren County limits, crossing the county in a north–south manner. Another route, NY 47, was assigned by 1926 to an alignment extending from Chestertown
to Ticonderoga via Hague
. NY 6 was replaced by US 9 in 1927, and the three other routes were realigned out of the county or eliminated entirely as part of the 1930 renumbering.
The post-renumbering state route system in Warren County was identical to the current route layout, save for a handful of routes. In the 1930 renumbering, NY 9K was assigned to NY 10's former routing between Saratoga Springs
and Lake George
while NY 47 was reassigned to a highway between Lake George village and Hague that ran along the western shore of Lake George
. NY 9N
, meanwhile, initially began in Elizabethtown
, Essex County
. That route was extended south twice: first to Lake George ca. 1936, replacing NY 47; and again to Saratoga Springs in the early 1950s, supplanting NY 9K. Also assigned in the renumbering was NY 32B
, an alternate route of NY 32
that began in Glens Falls and followed the Hudson River
east into Washington County
. NY 9M, a north–south spur connecting US 9 to NY 8, was assigned by the following year, but eliminated ca. 1939.
By 1940, NY 32 was extended into Warren County, passing through Glens Falls and Queensbury on its way to a terminus in Washington County. NY 32B initially overlapped with NY 32 along Warren Street; however, it was truncated eastward to begin in Queensbury ca. 1962 and eliminated ca. 1965. It was partially replaced by NY 254
, a northeasterly bypass of Glens Falls from I-87 to Washington County.
Of the 10 current routes, NY 418
in Warrensburg is the shortest while NY 9N is the longest. Other active routes in Warren County include NY 8
, which spans the northern part of the county; NY 9L
, a short suffixed route of US 9; NY 149
, a connector from I-87 to the Vermont border in Warren and nearby Washington Counties; NY 28
, which serves western Warren County and terminates in Johnsburg
; and its suffixed route, NY 28N
, which ends in the western part of the county.
There are 13 New York State Scenic Byways in the Adirondacks alone, three of them in Warren County. The first is the Roosevelt–Marcy Trail, which runs on NY 28N
. The second is the Dude Ranch Trail, a loop
in Warren and nearby Saratoga
counties, and the third is the Central Adirondack Trail, which utilizes parts of NY 9L
, US 9 and NY 28
.
has reserved NY 656, a replacement touring route designation, for the highway. A date for the renumbering has not been determined. The longest of Warren County's three reference routes is NY 917A, better known as the Prospect Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway
. The final reference route is NY 912Q, a two lane freeway spur leading east from I-87 exit 22.
until 1981. In some cases, a single county route designation has been assigned to several different highways. An example is CR 11, which begins at an intersection with CR 10 just east of the Northway (I-87) in Chestertown, but splits into two east of Riverbank. Until 2009, Warren County Routes were not signed like normal touring routes; instead, they were marked with tab–like signs mounted on the back of poles. There was one exception, as CR 23 was signed as a normal county route would.
In November 2007, locals of Warren County produced concern that the salt used on several county highways including CR 7, CR 11, and CR 35 was starting to harm the fragile environment of Lake George
and the surrounding area. The Warren County Highway Department uses an average of 9000 short tons (8,036 LT) of salt on the roads around the Lake George area annually. The salt is beginning to flow into the lake, causing a harmful environmental impact. Since the amount of salt in Lake George has doubled since the 1980s, the highway department switched from using sand entirely to using salt for safety of drivers, rather than the environment. Local officials recognize the problem at hand and are trying to find ways to minimize salt usage.
In late 2009, Warren County DPW began adding the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
-standard pentagon shield to their county roads. Signage is generally limited to the terminus of a single road, and roads are not signed at intersections with other county or state roads or when numbers change. One example of the latter is CR 32 (Call Street) and CR 28 (Corinth Road), where the only visible shield heading east is for CR 32 at CR 16 (East River Drive).
