Everything about New York State Route 370 totally explained
New York State Route 370 is a predominantly east-west
state highway in
central New York. Its western terminus is located at
NY 104 and
NY 104A in
Red Creek,
Wayne County. NY 370's eastern end is located at
US 11 in
Syracuse,
Onondaga County.
Route description
NY 370 is 35 miles long and spans three counties, Wayne,
Cayuga and Onondaga. The route is signed north-south throughout Wayne County.
Wayne County
NY 370 begins at an intersection with NY 104A and NY 104 south of the village of Red Creek. The route heads southwest from this spot along old
Ridge Road before breaking from the locally historic highway after 0.7 miles and turning to the southeast. After another 1.7 miles, NY 370 turns directly east as it enters Cayuga County.
Cayuga County
Across the county line, NY 370 continues east until the town of
Victory, where NY 370 intersects
NY 38 and begins to turn to the southeast. Eventually, the route turns to the south-southeast and follows this alignment until it reaches the Victory-
Conquest town line, where it overtakes Conquest-Victory Town Line Road and embarks on a slightly northeast alignment as it becomes West Main Street in
Cato. The route becomes East Main Street after passing
NY 34.
East of Cato, NY 370 turns to the northeast, then to the southeast as it enters
Meridian. The route flattens out, traveling to the east once again and intersecting
NY 176 just east of town. NY 370 then takes a southeasterly alignment as it changes counties for the final time.
Onondaga County
As West Genesee Road, NY 370 begins to parallel the
Erie Canal two miles after entering the county. The path of the canal, which is part of the
Seneca River at this point, takes the route into
Baldwinsville. On the west side of town, NY 370 interchanges with
NY 690 and
NY 31 at NY 690's northernmost grade-separated interchange. NY 31, which overlaps NY 690 north to this point, leaves 690 and joins NY 370 for a two-mile concurrency into the center of the town. In the heart of Baldwinsville, NY 31/370 intersects
NY 48 before splitting to the east of town. NY 31 heads northeast towards
Oneida Lake while NY 370 travels southeast to Syracuse.
Just southeast of the split, NY 370 intersects
NY 631 before proceeding to the southeast, crossing over the Erie Canal/Seneca River and entering
Liverpool. Past John Glenn Blvd., NY 370 passes over the
New York State Thruway near exit 38 and begins to approach the northern shore of
Onondaga Lake. In the center of Liverpool, NY 370, now 2nd Street, turns onto Oswego Street for a short distance before turning onto Onondaga Lake Parkway. The route then follows the Onondaga Lake shoreline, as well as the
CSX Montreal Secondary, to
I-81, where the route interchanges with the freeway at exit 24. Just southeast of the exit and south of
Alliance Bank Stadium (formerly P&C Stadium), NY 370 ends at US 11 northwest of downtown Syracuse.
History
The portion of NY 370 east of Oswego Street in
Liverpool was originally designated as part of
NY 20 in 1924. To the west, the section of modern NY 370 from Upton Road west of the hamlet of
Victory to
NY 34 in
Cato was designated as part of
NY 40 in the mid-1920s. The remainder of modern NY 370 west of Liverpool was unnumbered.
NY 40 was truncated to Cato in the late 1920s and replaced with
New York State Route 37, an east-west route designated along most of modern NY 370 from
Red Creek to
Baldwinsville. West of Victory, NY 37 followed Upton Road before terminating at
U.S. Route 104 in Red Creek.
The portion of NY 370 west of Victory was realigned by 1961 to follow its modern alignment before terminating at then-US 104 (Ridge Road) southwest of Red Creek. When
NY 104 (formerly US 104) was rerouted onto its present alignment north of Ridge Road by 1978, NY 370 was extended northeast along Ridge Road to meet the new routing of NY 104.
In May 1982, NY 57 was redesignated as Onondaga County Route 57. The portion of ex-NY 57 between NY 370 in Liverpool and US 11 in Syracuse became part of an extended NY 370.
