New York State Route 962J (NY 962J) is a 0.41-mile-long (0.66 km) southwest-northeastreference route that, unlike most reference routes, has been signed as a touring route inSouthern Tier town ofOwego inTioga County, New York. Its southwestern terminus is atNY 17 andNY 434 in thecensus-designated place ofApalachin and its northeastern terminus is atNY 17C south of the hamlet of Campville.
Shortly after NY 962J begins at NY 434, it passes overNY 17 (FutureI-86) (the Southern Tier Expressway) and intersects the new ramps that lead to and from NY 17 westbound. This portion was previously part of the trumpet-style interchange that NY 17 westbound had with NY 434 at exit 66. NY 962J continues to the northeast crossing over theSusquehanna River.
On the other bank of the river, the highway passes over theNorfolk Southern-ownedSouthern Tier Line before reaching its northeastern terminus at NY 17C.
The bridge over the Susquehanna and the reconfiguration of the westbound ramps at exit 66 were completed in 2001, offering a convenient connector route across the Susquehanna.[3] It was designated as a reference route at that time[2] and marked as a touring route in early 2005.[4] NY 962J is one of four reference routes in New York State signed as a touring route.
The entire route is inTioga County.
