New York State Route 160 (NY 160) is a 6.58-mile-long (10.59 km) north–southstate highway mostly located withinSchenectady County, New York, in the United States. The southern terminus of the route is at an intersection withNY 159 in theDuanesburg hamlet ofMariaville Lake. Its northern terminus is at a junction withNY 5S in theRotterdam hamlet ofPattersonville. While its termini are both in Schenectady County, it briefly passes intoMontgomery County near its midpoint.

Originally, NY 160 was little more than a loop route connecting NY 5S inFlorida and Rotterdam to then-New York State Route 407 in Scotch Church when it was assigned in 1930. In 1981, NY 407, a connector betweenMariaville Lake and Scotch Church, was replaced by a realigned NY 160 while NY 160's former routing through Florida was transferred to Montgomery County and redesignated asCounty Route 165 (CR 165).

Route description

[edit]
NY 160 at the Montgomery–Schenectady County line

NY 160 begins at an intersection withNY 159 near the northern edge of the hamlet ofMariaville Lake in westernSchenectady County. The route heads north through ruralDuanesburg, intersecting with Dennison Road (CR 96) before merging with Sulphur Springs Road on the Schenectady–Montgomery County line. NY 160 straddles the county line for roughly 0.6 miles (1.0 km)[3] (and is officially located in Montgomery County for 0.4 miles or 0.6 kilometres[1]) through the hamlet of Scotch Church prior to turning east off the county line as it exits the community. While in Montgomery County, NY 160 intersects one road of note: Thayer Road (CR 165), a connector leading northwest to the city ofAmsterdam.[3]

Back in Schenectady County, NY 160 clips the northeastern corner of the town of Duanesburg and passes quietly throughPrincetown on its way toRotterdam. Just past the town line, NY 160 descends into the valley surrounding theMohawk River and passes under theNew York State Thruway (Interstate 90) as it enters the hamlet ofPattersonville, the western portion of acensus-designated place that includes nearbyRotterdam Junction. The route continues northeast for an additional 500 feet (150 m) before making a hard left to avoid theMohawk-Hudson Bike-Hike Trail (the formerSelkirk Subdivision railroad). NY 160 parallels the trail for roughly 400 feet (120 m) before ending atNY 5S at a sharp angle.[3]

History

[edit]
Southern terminus of NY 160 at NY 159 in Mariaville, formerly the southern terminus of NY 407

When NY 160 was originally assigned in 1930, it began atNY 5S south ofAmsterdam and proceeded southeast through the town ofFlorida on Thayer Road to thehamlet of Scotch Church near theMontgomery–Schenectady County line. Here, it turned northeast to follow Scotch Church Road through theRotterdam to the hamlet ofPattersonville, where it rejoined NY 5S. South of Scotch Church, what is now NY 160 was designated as NY 407 around the same time.[2][4][5] Both NY 160 and NY 407 went unchanged until April 1, 1981, when ownership and maintenance of NY 160 northwest of Scotch Church was transferred from the state ofNew York to Montgomery County as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government.[6] NY 160 was rerouted south of Scotch Church to follow NY 407 to Mariaville,[7][8] resulting in the elimination of the NY 407 designation.[9] The former routing of NY 160 on Thayer Road became CR 165.[10]
