New York State Route 920P (NY 920P) is an unsignedreference route designation for Riverside Drive in theMontgomery County town ofGlen, New York, in the United States. The roadway connectsNY 30A andNY 5S to exit 28 of theNew York State Thruway (Interstate 90 or I-90) in the village ofFultonville. Most of Riverside Drive runs alongside theMohawk River. Although the route is inventoried by theNew York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) as NY 920P, thereference markers bear the number 862.
The section of the route east of the Thruway interchange was originally maintained by Montgomery County and designatedCounty Route 119 (CR 119). In 1981, the state of New York assumed ownership and maintenance of CR 119 as part a highway maintenance swap with the county. The new state highway subsequently became part of NY 920P.
NY 920P begins at an intersection withNY 30A in the village ofFultonville. The route, named Riverside Drive, heads eastward along theMohawk River, paralleling theNew York State Thruway (I-90) andNY 5S to the south. It initially serves a residential area of the village; however, the houses quickly give way to an area oftruck stops and other businesses—predominately dining, fuel, and lodging—surrounding Riverside Drive's interchange with the Thruway on the eastern edge of the village. Past exit 28, the development along the highway slowly decreases in density as Riverside Drive heads through the town ofGlen.[2]
About 1.4 miles (2.3 km) from NY 30A, the businesses cease completely while the road curves southward and heads uphill to an overpass carrying the road over the Thruway. Past the Thruway, NY 920P turns back to the east, loosely following the Thruway through an undeveloped, wooded area of the town. Riverside Drive ends 0.5 miles (0.80 km) from the Thruway overpass at a junction with NY 5S 1 mile (1.6 km) west of thehamlet ofAuriesville. The Montgomery County Correctional Facility is located across from Riverside Drive on the south side of NY 5S.[2]
By 1978, the portion of Riverside Drive west of the interchange with theNew York State Thruway was a shortstate highway maintained byNYSDOT; however, the remainder of the roadway east toNY 5S was maintained byMontgomery County as CR 119.[3] On April 1, 1981, maintenance and ownership of both CR 119 andCR 52 in northwestern Montgomery County (nowNY 67) were transferred to New York State in exchange for areference route inGlen and then-NY 160 north of Scotch Church (nowCR 122 andCR 165, respectively).[4] The entirety of Riverside Drive remains state-maintained to this day as NY 920P.[5]
NY 920P's reference markers bear the number "862",[1] a number reserved for later use by theNew York State Department of Transportation. What the number is reserved for is not clear.[5]
The entire route is inMontgomery County.
