New York State Route 17 (NY 17) is a majorstate highway that extends for 397 miles (638.91 km) through theSouthern Tier andDownstate regions ofNew York in the United States. It begins at thePennsylvania state line inMina and runs east as alimited-access highway, following theSouthern Tier Expressway toBinghamton and theQuickway from Binghamton east toWoodbury. At Woodbury, the route turns south to become alocal arterial, eventually following theOrange Turnpike to theNew Jersey state line nearSuffern. The portion of NY 17 west of Woodbury is in the process of being upgraded toInterstate 86, and as of February 2025, the routes areconcurrent from the Pennsylvania border toVestal and fromKirkwood toWindsor.
At 397 miles (639 km), NY 17 is the longest state route in New York, and is the second-longest highway of any kind in the state, behind only theNew York State Thruway. It serves 11 counties, passes through the cities ofSalamanca,Olean,Corning,Elmira, and Binghamton, and enters the vicinity of several others, includingJamestown andMiddletown. As it proceeds across the state, it intersects many of New York's majorInterstate andU.S. Highways, includingU.S. Route 219 (US 219) in Salamanca,I-390 inAvoca,I-99 andUS 15 near Corning,I-81 andUS 11 in Binghamton,I-84 andUS 6 near Middletown, andI-87 in Woodbury. Aside from a brief concurrency with the Thruway nearHillburn, the route is maintained by theNew York State Department of Transportation, including a portion in the vicinity ofWaverly that is physically located in Pennsylvania.
Initially part of anauto trail called theLiberty Highway, the route was added to the state highway system in 1924, extending fromWestfield to Suffern via at-grade highways. As traffic demand surged, it was moved onto the Quickway and the Southern Tier Expressway as limited-access sections of both were completed from the 1950s to the 1990s. In 1998, all of NY 17 between the Pennsylvania state line and Woodbury was designated as "Future I-86". The westernmost 177 miles (285 km) of the route was designated as I-86 one year later, and the designation has been gradually extended eastward as sections of NY 17 were improved to Interstate Highway standards. Prior to the I-86 designation, NY 17 was part of a multi-state Route 17 along withNew Jersey Route 17 and the former Pennsylvania Route 17.

NY 17 begins as afreeway at the point where I-86 crosses theNew York–Pennsylvania border inMina,Chautauqua County. I-86 heads westward from there to its western terminus atI-90. I-86 and NY 17 continue eastward through theSouthern Tier, encounteringNY 426 (exit 4) a short distance from the state line prior to meetingNY 76 (exit 6) south ofSherman. East of exit 8 (NY 394), I-86 and NY 17 crossChautauqua Lake and follow the lake shore eastward toJamestown, where it connects toNY 60 at exit 12 due north of the city. East of the city, the freeway meetsUS 62 at exit 14 and is joined by the oldErie Railroad line, which parallels the freeway as it heads across southern New York.
Between exits 17 and 18 (NY 280), I-86 and NY 17 cross theAllegheny Reservoir near its northernmost extent. Past NY 280, the freeway runs adjacent to the northern extent of theAllegany State Park and follows the reservoir and the connectingAllegheny River eastward toSalamanca. Near downtown Salamanca, I-86 and NY 17 meetUS 219 (exit 21). US 219 joins the freeway east to exit 23 nearCarrollton, where it splits from I-86 and NY 17 and heads towardBradford, Pennsylvania, forming the eastern edge of the state park as it heads south. Meanwhile, the freeway continues east toOlean, where it meetsNY 417 (a previous alignment of NY 17) at exit 24 west of town andNY 16 (exit 27) north of the area.
Past Olean, the route drifts northward away from Pennsylvania towardHornell, where I-86 and NY 17 intersectNY 36 (exit 34). To the east inAvoca, the Southern Tier Expressway meetsI-390 at exit 36. I-86 and NY 17 southeast from the junction, passing throughBath on its way an interchange withI-99 andUS 15 inPainted Post (exit 44). Here, I-99 and US 15 begin and head south toward Pennsylvania, while I-86 and NY 17 continue east throughCorning to the city ofElmira.
From Elmira to Binghamton, NY 17, the Erie Railroad (now operated byNorfolk Southern as theSouthern Tier Line), and its old alignments generally stay close together. They follow the Chemung River to exit 60 (US 220 inSouth Waverly, Pennsylvania) and theSusquehanna River from east of exit 61 (Waverly, New York) to Binghamton; on the latter section, bothNY 17C andNY 434 are old NY 17. Between the two rivers, which intersect in Pennsylvania, the general corridor runs just north of the state line in New York. NY 17 itself crosses into Pennsylvania for approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) between a point west of exit 60 and a point west of exit 61; additionally, all the ramps at exit 60 and portions of the eastbound ramps at exits 59A and 61 are in Pennsylvania. Despite being in Pennsylvania, it is still signed as NY 17, and these roadways are still maintained by theNew York State Department of Transportation.[3][4] At the Tioga County line near Waverly, I-86 temporarily terminates as NY 17 continues eastward towardBinghamton.
Near downtown Binghamton, NY 17 goes around the side of Prospect Mountain at what is locally known as "kamikaze curve".[5] Heading eastbound, the freeway curves sharply left around the hillside, splits into ramps toI-81 north and south, and curves right to merge into I-81 south as it passes over theChenango River. From that point east and southeast about 5 miles (8.0 km), I-81 and NY 17 runconcurrently. NY 17 splits from I-81, the Erie Railroad and the Susquehanna River to the east intoStilson Hollow; from this split (exit 75) to its end, most of NY 17 does not follow the Erie Railroad, which crosses into Pennsylvania several times.
At the end of Stilson Hollow, NY 17 heads over a summit and into the valley formed by theOccanum Creek. The creek empties into theSusquehanna River atWindsor (exit 79), which NY 17 follows southeast toDamascus (exit 80) before turning northeast alongTuscarora Creek. It soon turns east and southeast over a summit, rejoining theErie Railroad just north ofGulf Summit. The highway and railroad head east alongOquaga Creek toDeposit (exit 84), where they turn southeast along theWest Branch Delaware River, where NY 17 briefly becomes an arterial road. A gap in the freeway stretches from here to just short ofHancock (exit 87), the place the West Branch joins with theEast Branch Delaware River. The Erie Railroad continues southeast along the combinedDelaware River, while NY 17 turns east along the valley formed by the East Branch, either closely following or built directly over the abandonedNew York, Ontario and Western Railway[6] toLiberty.
AtEast Branch (exit 90), the East Branch Delaware River turns north, and NY 17 continues east with theBeaver Kill toRoscoe (exit 94),Willowemoc Creek toLivingston Manor (exit 96), andLittle Beaver Kill toParksville (exit 98). The highway and parallel NYO&W pass south over a summit toLiberty (exits 99–100), and continue along theMiddle Mongaup River toFerndale (exit 101). The NYO&W turned east there, but NY 17 continues south over a summit and into theSpring Brook andEast Mongaup River valleys pastHarris (exit 102). NY 17 then cuts southeast cross-country toMonticello (exit 104; passingMonticello Raceway) and beyond, following the oldNewburgh and Cochecton Turnpike (old NY 17) toBloomingburg (exit 116). The oldMiddletown and Wurtsboro Turnpike, also old NY 17, and partiallyNY 17M, runs south toMiddletown, which NY 17 cuts cross-country to bypass to the east, rejoining NY 17M – and the main line of theErie Railroad – atGoshen (exit 123). NY 17, its old former alignment (NY 17M) and the Erie run generally east-southeast, partly cross-country and partly through small stream valleys, to the end of the freeway, the directional change in NY 17 from east–west to north–south, and the junction of the Erie with its branch toNewburgh.
NY 17 heads southwest from the Quickway as a surface road, passing through the village ofWoodbury before entering the village ofHarriman, where it intersects with the eastern terminus of NY 17M.[7] As the route heads southward from this junction, its signage changes from being east or west to north or south. The route parallels the Thruway as it proceeds through a disjointed piece ofHarriman State Park and enters the town ofTuxedo. While inside the park, NY 17 intersectsArden Valley Road, a parkway that connects toSeven Lakes Drive deep inside the park.[8] South of Arden Valley Road, NY 17 briefly exits Harriman State Park and enters the hamlet ofSouthfields, where it intersects withCounty Route 19 (CR 19) and passes by theRed Apple Rest, a former restaurant and roadside attraction.[9]
_just_south_of_Interstate_87_(New_York_State_Thruway)_within_Hillburn_Village_in_the_Town_of_Ramapo%2c_Rockland_County%2c_New_York.jpg)
Past the hamlet, the route heads back into the park and intersects withNY 17A andCR 106 near the park's western boundary. South of the junction, NY 17 leaves the park and proceeds through a lightly populated area to the village ofTuxedo Park. At the Tuxedo Park train station is access to some hiking trails in Harriman State Park.[9] The route continues on, paralleling the Thruway intoRockland County. On the other side of the county line, NY 17 enters the village ofSloatsburg, where it meetsSeven Lakes Drive and connects toCR 72 by way of a modified trumpet interchange.[7]
Outside of Sloatsburg, NY 17 becomes a four-laneexpressway and winds its way southeasterly along theRamapo River and the Thruway through the town ofRamapo to the hamlet of the same name, based just north of NY 17's junction withNY 59. Here, NY 17 turns to the southwest, merging onto the Thruway southbound at exit 15A, traversing a sparsely developed area of the village ofHillburn. About 0.75 miles (1.21 km) south of merging onto the Thruway, NY 17 passes to the south of the village center as it approachesI-287. At exit 15A forNew Jersey, NY 17 leaves the Thruway and merges with I-287 southbound and proceeds to the New Jersey state line, where it connects to New Jersey'sRoute 17.[7] An old alignment of NY 17 in Hillburn, now called Old Route 17 used to go around the Thruway instead of merging onto it.
From Binghamton to Corning, NY 17 follows the course of the Great Bend and Bath Turnpike, which was legislated in 1808 to continue theCochecton and Great Bend Turnpike (US 11) through the Susquehanna Valley. The road ran from the Pennsylvania state line at Great Bend through Binghamton, Owego, and Elmira to Bath. In its day, it was a major route of travel through the Susquehanna Valley.[10] Today, the road is designated US 11 from Pennsylvania to Binghamton, then NY 17C to Waverly, NY 352 into Corning, and NY 415 to Bath. The at-grade sections of NY 17 in Orange County follow the Orange Turnpike south of Southfields and the New Windsor and Cornwall Turnpike to its north.
The original routing of NY 17, fromWestfield toHarriman, was largely designated in 1908 by theNew York State Legislature as Route 4, an unsignedlegislative route. This routing was incorporated in 1918 as the main portion of anauto trail called theLiberty Highway, which connectedNew York City toCleveland viaHackensack,Liberty, theSouthern Tier, andErie.[11]
Legislative Route 4 began at legislative Route 18 (currentUS 20) in Westfield and proceeded southeast throughMayville toJamestown on what is nowNY 394 andNY 430. From there, the route headed generally eastward toSalamanca over modern NY 394,NY 242, andNY 353, and southeast toOlean viaNY 417. At Olean, the route shifted northward, passing throughHinsdale,Friendship, andBelvidere on currentNY 16,NY 446 and Allegany County'sCR 20 before returning southward on what is nowNY 19 to access the village ofWellsville.[12][13]
From Wellsville toAndover and fromJasper toCorning, Route 4 followed modern NY 417. In between Andover and Jasper, however, Route 4 veered north on currentNY 21 andNY 36 to serveHornell. East of Corning, the alignment of legislative Route 4 ran along the Great Bend and Bath Turnpike, and more closely resembled the modern alignments of the Southern Tier Expressway and the Quickway. Route 4 exited Corning on what is nowNY 352 and followed it toBig Flats, where it broke from NY 352 and proceeded toHorseheads on Chemung CR 64 and toElmira on what is now Lake Road, Madison Avenue and the east end ofNY 352. Between Elmira andBinghamton, Route 4 followed either local roads that were bypassed or upgraded into the Southern Tier Expressway, namely modern NY 17 and Chemung and Tioga CR 60 from Elmira toWaverly,NY 17C between Waverly andOwego,NY 434 from Owego toVestal, and NY 17C and Riverside Drive (viaNY 26) from Vestal to Binghamton.[12][13]
Route 4 exited the city onUS 11 and followed it to Kirkwood Center, a hamlet adjacent to the eastern junction of NY 17 andI-81. From this point to Harriman, except for one section nearMiddletown, the path Route 4 followed became the basis for the Quickway several decades later. Between Kirkwood Center and Hancock, Route 4 utilized what was later upgraded into the Quickway (via Broome CR 28 fromWindsor toDeposit). East of here, it used parallel roads instead: modern "Old Route 17" (Delaware CR 17 and Sullivan CRs 179A to 174) from Deposit toMonticello, Sullivan CRs 173 to 171 between Monticello andBloomingburg, and Orange CR 76 andNY 17M from Bloomingburg to Harriman. At Harriman, Route 4 broke from the Liberty Highway and proceeded northeast over currentUS 6 andNY 293 toHighland Falls, where it ended at legislative Route 3 (modernUS 9W).[12][13] The portion of the Liberty Highway betweenSuffern and Harriman became part of legislative Route 39-b in 1911;[13][14] however, this designation was removed on March 1, 1921.[15] Another auto trail, the West Shore Route, also followed this section of the Liberty Highway, but proceeded north from Harimman along modern-day NY 32.[16]
When New York first signed its state highways with route numbers in 1924, much of legislative Route 4 was designated as NY 17.[2] FromRandolph to Salamanca, NY 17 followed the more southerly routing of the Liberty Highway instead of the Route 4 routing, bypassingLittle Valley to the south in favor of a direct connection between Randolph and Salamanca (current NY 394 andNY 951T).[17] In Vestal, NY 17 was routed along the south bank of theSusquehanna River, bypassingEndicott andJohnson City on what is now NY 434 and Broome CR 44.[18] Lastly, NY 17 broke from the path of legislative Route 4 in Harriman and followed the former Route 39-b south to theNew Jersey state line at Suffern.[17] As originally laid out, NY 17 was 434 miles (698 km) long.[19]
In the1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, NY 17 basically remained intact. The only changes made at this time were the straightening out of the Olean–Wellsville segment (now viaCeres) and the Andover–Jasper segment (now viaGreenwood).[20]
NY 17 initially reached New Jersey by way of Suffern's Orange Avenue (nowUS 202) and connected to New Jersey'sRoute 2 at the state line. In 1932, an alternate route of NY 17 between the New Jersey state line atHillburn and the hamlet ofRamapo on the western bank of theRamapo River was designated asNY 339. The route largely followed the path of modernI-287 and theNew York State Thruway between the two locations. It initially became a local road upon crossing into New Jersey;[21] however, Route 2 was realignedc. 1933 to connect to NY 339 instead of NY 17.[22]
In the mid-1930s, the alignments of NY 17 and NY 339 south of Ramapo were flipped, placing NY 17 on the western route.[23][24]
In 1938, NY 17 was relocated onto a new highway through the Hillburn village limits. While the southern half of the new road utilized the old highway, the northern half veered to the west of both Hillburn and old NY 17, bypassing the village before rejoining the old road south of Ramapo.[25]
The explosive growth of thetourism industry in theCatskill Mountains region, which began in the 1930s and intensified afterWorld War II, stretched the rural road to its limits. Scores of hotels, resorts and bungalow colonies attracted hundreds of thousands of vacationing New Yorkers, whose cars left the two-lane NY 17 hopelessly jammed in summer. Many towns, especially the fairly large city ofMiddletown, were paralyzed on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons in the summertime, as traffic passed through local downtowns and their traffic lights.[26] In addition, the tight turns and steep inclines along the route led to numerous fatal crashes, including two milk tanker truck crashes in the mid-1950s. In response,New York State officials planned a four-lane replacement, the first free long-distance expressway in the state and one of the earliest in the United States. It would replace intersections with well-spaced access ramps, separate grades withflyovers, and allow safe travel at up to 65 miles per hour (105 km/h).[27]
The first segment of the new highway extended fromFair Oaks toGoshen, bypassing the city of Middletown to the northeast. It opened to traffic in July 1951 as a realignment of NY 17.[27][28] As more sections of the freeway—known as the Quickway—opened up during the 1950s and 1960s, NY 17 was moved onto them. The Quickway was completed by 1968, connecting Binghamton to Harriman by way of a continuous expressway.[27][29] Farther west, plans were also in the works to build an expressway across the Southern Tier. The highway was first proposed by New York GovernorThomas Dewey in 1953,[30] and the first sections of the Southern Tier Expressway were completed in the mid-1960s. At the time, NY 17 followed the entirety of two of the four open sections (Steamburg to Salamanca and Owego to theBroome County line) and part of a third (Corning to Lowman via Elmira).[29][31]
As more continuous pieces of the expressway opened during the 1970s, NY 17 was realigned onto them, with much of NY 17's old alignment becoming NY 394, NY 417, or NY 17C. By 1980, the expressway was complete fromBemus Point to Binghamton except for two areas near Salamanca and Corning. Although NY 17 continued to extend northwestward along its original alignment from Bemus Point to Westfield, both highways were also designated as parts of NY 430 and NY 394 in anticipation of the completion of the Southern Tier Expressway west ofChautauqua Lake, which NY 17 would be rerouted to follow.[32][33] This segment was built in stages during the 1980s as asuper two highway.[34][35] The portions of the freeway in and around Salamanca and Corning were completed in the late 1980s[34][35] and mid-1990s, completing the conversion of NY 17 into a continuous expressway from the Pennsylvania state line to Harriman.[36][37]
In 1996, both exit 117 and exit 118A were closed.
The large portion of the road west of Chautauqua Lake was widened to four lanes as part of a project completed in 1997.[38]
On December 3, 1999, the westernmost 177 miles (284.85 km) of NY 17 were replaced byI-86,[39] a new route that had been written into law a year earlier. As legislated, I-86 will eventually extend eastward along the length of both the Southern Tier Expressway and the Quickway to the New York State Thruway in Harriman once both highways are brought up toInterstate Highway standards.[40]
I-86 was extended east to Horseheads in 2004,[39] and Elmira in 2008.[41]
A 10-mile (16 km) stretch of NY 17 in centralBroome County was designated as I-86 in 2006.[39]
In September 2013, theFederal Highway Administration (FHWA) approved a 15.8-mile (25.4 km) extension of the I-86 designation from exit 56 in Elmira to the Tioga county line.[42] The remainder of NY 17 west ofI-87 was designated after the remaining at-grade sections are eliminated and the highway is brought up to Interstate Highway standards.[43]
TheNew York State Thruway Authority converted the Harriman Toll Barrier at the interchange of NY 17 and I-87 (exit 16 on I-87) to cashless tolling. This included the creation of a solar photovoltaic energy generating facility (solar park) to help power the toll and maintenance facilities in Harriman, Woodbury, Spring Valley, and Nyack. Cashless tolling began on the night of September 27, 2018. This was a part ofGovernor Andrew Cuomo's goal to convert the entirety of the New York Thruway to cashless tolling.[44][45]
On August 9, 2019, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law that a portion of NY 17 was to be designated the "Dennis 'Matt' Howe Memorial Highway" from exit 63 in the hamlet of Lounsberry to exit 62 in the village of Nichols. On March 18, 2019, Howe died from injuries sustained when a tractor-trailer collided with his DOT truck as he and others were performing highway safety work on NY 17. The signs were unveiled and the dedication ceremony was held on October 29, 2019.[46]
In November 2019, NYSDOT completed the reconstruction of exit 131 along NY 17. As part of the project, adiverging diamond interchange was built at the exit to improve access between NY 17 and NY 32. Also as part of the project, NY 32 was widened to three lanes to each way;CR 64 / Nininger Road was extended toWoodbury Common Premium Outlets; and exit ramps were built from NY 32 north and NY 32 south to meet Nininger Road at two respective traffic circles. In addition, a new park-and-ride was built, and the ramp from NY 17 west to Woodbury Common was demolished.[47][48][49]
In December 2020, NYSDOT completed construction of a new exit 125, which was built to accommodate the newLegoland New York. As part of the project, afour-ramp parclo was built, which replaced the prior exit 125, located 4,000 feet (1.2 km) west. NY 17 was expanded to three lanes in each direction between exits 124 and 125. Harriman Drive was expanded to two lanes in each direction between the exit and Legoland's entrance.[50][51]
On November 14, 2024, NYSDOT announced the extension of the I-86 designation from exit 60 to exit 67 (NY 26) inVestal.[52]
NYSDOT has requested proposals for plans to widen NY 17 between the Thruway in Orange County and the town of Liberty in Sullivan County. The widening is supported by the 17-Forward-86 coalition, several state senators, and various businesses and organizations in the area.[53][54][55]
New York State Department of Transportation wants to begin a $1.3 billion project in theCatskill Mountains section of the route.[56]

NY 17 has had 13 suffixed routes bearing 11 different designations. Five are still assigned to their routes, while eight have been removed or renumbered. A fourteenth,NY 17L, was proposed in 1939 as part of currentNY 97, but canceled.[57]
On a Friday night at the sweltering height of summer, cars would lumber up in an unbroken stream, their radiators already gurgling steam from two hours of stop-and-go driving along the two-lane morass of Route 17 – mocked by exasperated World War II veterans asthe Burma Road. Out would spill dozens of Irvs, Sams and Murrays, drained from a week of muscular work and lonely for their wives and children up in the bungalows in places like Swan Lake and Monticello.
The portion of the route referred to in subsection (c)(36) is designated as Interstate Route I–86.
