Counties as part of a pair of highway maintenance swaps between the state and the two counties. In return, the state assumed maintenance of Star Road, an east–west road linking NY 374 in Brainardsville to NY 190, and Military Turnpike, a highway connecting Ellenburg to NY 3

. Both highways became part of a reconfigured NY 190, which now began in Brainardsville and ended west of the city of Plattsburgh
. As a result of the realignment, NY 190 no longer directly connected to US 11 in Ellenburg; instead, the connection was now made by way of NY 971L, an unsigned reference route.
