'''New York State Route 5''' ('''NY 5''') is a [[state highway]] that extends for {{convert|370.80|mi|2}} across the state of [[New York (state)|New York]] in the United States. It begins at the [[New York–Pennsylvania border|Pennsylvania state line]] in the [[Chautauqua County, New York|Chautauqua County]] town of [[Ripley, New York|Ripley]] and passes through [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]], [[Syracuse, New York|Syracuse]], [[Utica, New York|Utica]], [[Schenectady, New York|Schenectady]], and several other smaller cities and communities on its way to downtown [[Albany, New York|Albany]] in [[Albany County, New York|Albany County]], where it terminates at [[U.S. Route 9 in New York|U.S. Route 9]] (US 9), here routed along the service roads for [[Interstate 787]] (I-787). Prior to the construction of the [[New York State Thruway]], it was one of two main east–west highways traversing upstate [[New York (state)|New York]], the other being [[U.S. Route 20 in New York|US 20]]. West of New York, the road continues as [[Pennsylvania Route 5]] (PA 5) to [[Erie, Pennsylvania|Erie]].

NY 5 [[concurrency (road)|overlaps]] with US 20 twice along its routing. The second, a {{convert|68|mi|0|adj=on}} overlap through western and central New York, is the second-longest concurrency in the state, stretching from [[Avon (village), New York|Avon]] in [[Livingston County, New York|Livingston County]] east to the city of [[Auburn, New York|Auburn]] in [[Cayuga County, New York|Cayuga County]]. The concurrency is known locally as "Routes 5 and 20".<ref name="2014tdr" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.routes5and20.com/index.cfm|title=Routes 5 and 20 New York|access-date=March 28, 2007}}</ref> As the route proceeds across the state, it also directly or indirectly meets every major north–south highway in [[upstate New York]], including all three north–south [[Interstate Highway]]s ([[Interstate 390|I-390]] in [[Avon (town), New York|Avon]], [[Interstate 81 in New York|I-81]] in Syracuse via [[U.S. Route 11 in New York|US 11]], and [[Interstate 87 (New York)|I-87]] in Albany).

NY 5 was assigned in 1924 as a true cross-state highway, extending from the Pennsylvania state line in the west to the [[Massachusetts]] state line in the east, mostly by way of modern US 20. At the time, modern NY 5 between Buffalo and Albany was designated as '''New York State Route 5A'''. By 1926, NY 5 was moved onto the routing of NY 5A while the old routing of NY 5 became [[New York State Route 7 (the mid-1920s–1927)|NY 7]]. It was truncated in 1927 to [[Athol Springs, New York|Athol Springs]] in the west and Albany in the east following the assignment of US 20, and again in 1930 to downtown Buffalo. NY 5 was reextended to the Pennsylvania state line {{circa|1932}} by way of its old routing to Athol Springs, an old alignment of US 20, and a lakeside spur route of US 20 that had been assigned in 1930. Only local realignments have occurred since.

==Route description==
Although it is no longer commonly used for long-distance travel, NY 5 is still regionally important. NY 5 is named [[Main Street (Buffalo)|Main Street]] in [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]], Erie Boulevard and West Genesee Street in [[Syracuse, New York|Syracuse]], State Street in [[Schenectady, New York|Schenectady]], and Central Avenue in [[Albany, New York|Albany]], the state capital. It is a major local road in many other locations along its path. NY 5 runs concurrent to US 20 twice between its endpoints: for three miles (5  km) between [[Silver Creek, New York|Silver Creek]] and [[Irving, New York|Irving]] and for {{convert|68|mi|0}} across western and central New York. At 67.6 miles (108 km) in length, the eastern [[overlap (road)|overlap]] between US 20 and NY 5 is the second-longest surface-road concurrency in New York state, behind only the concurrency of [[Interstate 86 (east)|I-86]] and [[New York State Route 17|NY 17]] in the [[Southern Tier]].<ref name="2014tdr" />

Maintenance of the majority of NY 5's {{convert|371|mi|0}} is performed by the [[New York State Department of Transportation]]. However, locally owned and maintained sections exist in six cities. The city-maintained sections of NY 5 are in [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]] from [[New York State Route 16|NY 16]] north to the city line (except of the Goodell Street portion, which is state-maintained);<ref name="erieinv">{{cite web |url=https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/technical-services/hds-repository2/INV_2009-10-01_Erie.csv |title=Erie County Inventory Listing |date=October 1, 2009 |publisher=New York State Department of Transportation |format=CSV |access-date=December 9, 2009}}</ref> in [[Syracuse, New York|Syracuse]] between the western city line and just west of [[New York State Route 635|NY 635]];<ref name="onondagainv">{{cite web |url=https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/technical-services/hds-repository2/INV_2009-10-01_Onondaga.csv |title=Onondaga County Inventory Listing |date=October 1, 2009 |publisher=New York State Department of Transportation |format=CSV |access-date=December 9, 2009}}</ref> in [[Utica, New York|Utica]] from Leland Avenue east to the city line;<ref name="oneidainv">{{cite web |url=https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/technical-services/hds-repository2/INV_2009-10-01_Oneida.csv |title=Oneida County Inventory Listing |date=October 1, 2009 |publisher=New York State Department of Transportation |format=CSV |access-date=December 9, 2009}}</ref> in [[Amsterdam, New York|Amsterdam]] between Division and West Main streets;<ref name="amsterdam quad">{{cite map |url=http://gis.ny.gov/gisdata/quads/drg24/dotpreview/index.cfm?code=q45 |title=Amsterdam Digital Raster Quadrangle |publisher=New York State Department of Transportation |year=1992 |scale=1:24,000 |access-date=December 9, 2009 |archive-date=February 22, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160222183416/http://gis.ny.gov/gisdata/quads/drg24/dotpreview/index.cfm?code=q45 |url-status=dead }}</ref> in [[Schenectady, New York|Schenectady]] from Washington Avenue to the eastern city line;<ref name="schenectadyinv">{{cite web |url=https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/technical-services/hds-repository2/INV_2009-10-01_Schenectady.csv |title=Schenectady County Inventory Listing |date=October 1, 2009 |publisher=New York State Department of Transportation |format=CSV |access-date=December 9, 2009}}</ref> and the entirety of NY 5 within [[Albany, New York|Albany]].<ref name="albanyinv">{{cite web |url=https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/technical-services/hds-repository2/INV_2009-10-01_Albany.csv |title=Albany County Inventory Listing |date=October 1, 2009 |publisher=New York State Department of Transportation |format=CSV |access-date=December 9, 2009}}</ref>

===Pennsylvania to Buffalo===
At the [[New York–Pennsylvania border]] in Ripley, [[Pennsylvania Route 5|PA 5]] becomes NY 5 upon entering New York. It very closely follows the shore of [[Lake Erie]] through all of [[Chautauqua County, New York|Chautauqua County]]. Once reaching the village of [[Silver Creek, New York|Silver Creek]] it briefly overlaps [[U.S. Route 20 in New York|US 20]] until entering [[Erie County, New York|Erie County]] at the [[Cattaraugus Reservation]] and [[New York State Route 438|NY 438]] where the roads once again split. Once in Erie County, it pulls slightly inward from the lake shore from [[Brant, New York|Brant]] to the hamlet of [[Wanakah, New York|Wanakah]]. Once past Wanakah, the road once again closely borders the lake shore and goes through steadily more heavily developed areas, particularly the [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] Stamping Plant and the [[Bethlehem Steel]] plant in the city of [[Lackawanna, New York|Lackawanna]]. There the road becomes the Hamburg Turnpike and eight wind-powered turbines, which provide power to the national grid, are visible. Near the northern edge of the city, NY 5 begins to ascend onto an elevated roadway as it connects to Ridge Road and the [[Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens]] by way of an interchange. Here, the route becomes the a [[limited-access highway]] with exits for Ohio and Tifft streets and Fuhrmann Boulevard. After a quarter-mile, NY 5 passes seamlessly into the city of [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]].<ref name="2008map">{{cite map |title=New York State Map |publisher=[[I Love New York]] |year=2008 |cartography=[[Map Works]]}}</ref>

[[File:BuffaloSkyway.jpg|thumb|The Skyway (NY 5) as it passes over the [[Buffalo River (New York)|Buffalo River]].]]
A short distance past the city line, NY 5 passes over the Union Ship Canal on a span of the elevated road known as the [[Father Nelson Baker|Father Baker]] Bridge. North of the waterway, the elevated section of NY 5 gains a [[frontage road]] named Fuhrmann Boulevard. Both the service road and NY 5 run parallel to [[Lake Erie]] until the northern end of the Buffalo Outer Harbor. Here, the frontage roads end while NY 5 turns to the northeast, crossing the [[Buffalo River (New York)|Buffalo River]] on the bridge called The Skyway, and entering downtown. On the north bank, the Skyway returns to a northerly routing as it passes [[KeyBank Center]], located directly to the east, and [[Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park]], situated to the west, and meets [[Interstate 190 (New York)|I-190]] at exit 7. Past the interchange, the Skyway ends and the route descends in elevation, becoming an [[Intersection (road)|at-grade]] roadway once more at Church Street in the shadow of [[Buffalo City Hall]]. [[New York State Route 384|NY 384]] begins here, following Delaware Avenue north into the heart of downtown, while NY 5 turns east onto Church.<ref name="2008map"/>

[[File:Skyway Skyline, Buffalo, New York - 20210908.jpg|thumb|Approaching downtown Buffalo on the Skyway]]

At Main Street, Church Street splits into a pair of one-way streets and becomes North and South Division Street. The route follows South Division eastward for two blocks to an intersection with Ellicott Street located one block north of [[Sahlen Field]]. At the junction, which includes the northern terminus of [[New York State Route 16|NY 16]], NY 5 turns northward, rejoining NY 5 westbound one block later at North Division. The route continues on Ellicott for nine blocks to the unidirectional East Tupper Street, where NY 5 westbound separates from the route once more. NY 5 eastbound, however, continues north on Ellicott for an additional block to the one-way Goodell Street. NY 5 heads west on Goodell for two blocks before turning north onto Main Street, rejoining NY 5 westbound at the intersection.<ref name="2008map"/>

The route continues along Main Street throughout the remainder of its length in Buffalo, cutting through the city diagonally from southwest to northeast until it enters the town of [[Amherst, New York|Amherst]] at the intersection of Bailey Avenue ([[U.S. Route 62 in New York|US 62]]) at the south campus of the [[University at Buffalo]].<ref name="2008map"/>

===Buffalo to Avon===
Once leaving the city of Buffalo, NY 5 heads east through the densely populated suburban town of [[Amherst, New York|Amherst]], including the hamlets of [[Snyder, New York|Snyder]] and [[Eggertsville, New York|Eggertsville]] and the village of [[Williamsville, New York|Williamsville]] and is heavily developed through the entire length of the town, particularly at the intersection with Transit Road ([[New York State Route 78|NY 78]]). In the town of [[Clarence, New York|Clarence]], the road dips into a significant depression known as [[Clarence (CDP), New York|Clarence Hollow]]. Once leaving Clarence, NY 5 goes through predominantly rural areas until reaching the city of [[Batavia, New York|Batavia]] in [[Genesee County, New York|Genesee County]], closely paralleling the [[New York State Thruway]] through much of the county. The road travels eastward until reaching [[Livingston County, New York|Livingston County]] and the village of [[Caledonia (village), New York|Caledonia]].<ref name="2008map"/>

NY 5 heads southeast from the village of Caledonia, paralleling the former [[Right-of-way (railroad)|right-of-way]] of an [[Erie–Lackawanna Railroad]] branch line that connected the villages of Caledonia and [[Avon (village), New York|Avon]] as it heads through spacious fields containing little more than farmland. At a rural intersection controlled by single-head flashing [[traffic signals]] west of Avon, NY 5 meets [[U.S. Route 20 in New York|US 20]] for the second time. The routes embark on a second [[concurrency (road)|concurrency]], merging onto the right-of-way of NY 5 as they cross the [[Genesee River]] and enter both the [[Avon (town), New York|town]] and [[Avon (village), New York|village]] of Avon.<ref name="2008map"/>

===Avon to Ontario County===
US 20 and NY 5 become West Main Street upon entering the village, underscoring the road's status as the primary east–west highway through the town. The route continues southeast from the Genesee, passing through the forested but sparsely populated western area of the village. As the route approaches the [[Livonia, Avon and Lakeville Railroad]] (LAL) [[grade crossing]], the number of homes increases rapidly, only to be replaced by businesses in the area surrounding the LAL mainline. Located on the western edge of this transition is [[New York State Route 39|NY 39]], which terminates at this junction. Past the tracks, West Main intersects Rochester Street, a locally important north–south two-lane arterial that continues north of the village to the [[Rochester, New York|Rochester]] suburb of [[Brighton, Monroe County, New York|Brighton]] as East River Road. Shortly after this intersection, the homes return, following US 20 and NY 5 as West Main enters the heart of the village.<ref name="2008map"/>

[[File: US 20 and NY 5 at NY 444.jpg|thumb|US 20 and NY 5 eastbound at NY 444 near Bloomfield]]
In the centre of Avon, West Main feeds into Park Place, a large [[traffic circle]] providing access to two local streets from US 20 and NY 5. The routes follow the circle [[counterclockwise]], departing the roundabout on East Main Street. The street proceeds east, passing through four blocks of densely populated neighbourhoods before exiting the village and abruptly entering vast, barren fields to the east. US 20 and NY 5, now named Avon–Lima Road, intersects [[New York State Route 15|NY 15]] two miles (3 km) to the east in East Avon, a community based around the intersection and the streets comprising it, and connects to [[Interstate 390|I-390]] at exit 10 a half-mile from NY 15. Continuing, the road intersects several county routes over the next four miles (6  km) before becoming West Main Street once more, this time for the village of [[Lima (village), New York|Lima]]. At an intersection with [[New York State Route 15A|NY 15A]] in the village centre, US 20 and NY 5 become East Main Street, retaining the name to the [[Ontario County, New York|Ontario County]] line at [[Honeoye Creek]].<ref name="2008map"/>

===Western Ontario County===
In the town of [[West Bloomfield, New York|West Bloomfield]], US 20 and NY 5 go unnamed as they proceed eastward. Roughly one mile from the county line in the hamlet of West Bloomfield, US 20 and NY 5 meet the southern terminus of [[New York State Route 65|NY 65]]. Exiting the hamlet, US 20 and NY 5 head through another area dominated by open land, intersecting Elton Road before passing seamlessly into [[East Bloomfield, New York|East Bloomfield]]. A mile and a half from the town line, US 20 and NY 5 intersect [[New York State Route 64|NY 64]], a road running northwest–southeast from the [[Monroe County, New York|Monroe County]] line south to US 20 and NY 5. NY 64, whose right-of-way ends at US 20 and NY 5 at the foot of a small hill, joins the two routes eastward on a triple overlap, entering the [[Bloomfield, New York|village of Bloomfield]] and intersecting the southern terminus of [[New York State Route 444|NY 444]] south of the portion of Bloomfield once known as Holcomb. Near the junction with NY 444, US 20, NY 5 and NY 64 take-ups on a due east alignment, absorbing the routing used by Gauss Road west of this point.<ref name="2008map"/>

[[File: US 20 and NY 5 at NY 21 w split.jpg|thumb|left|West end of the NY 21 overlaps as seen from US 20 and NY 5 westbound]]
A mile to the east at Whalen Road, NY 64 separates from US 20 and NY 5, following the road, and [[U.S. Route 20A (New York)|US 20A]], which has its eastern terminus at this intersection, south toward [[Bristol, New York|Bristol]]. US 20 and NY 5 continue through rural Ontario County before splitting from its easterly alignment at an intersection four miles (6  km) east of US 20A and NY 64 in the [[Canandaigua (town), New York|town of Canandaigua]]. West Avenue, the former routing of US 20 and NY 5 into [[Canandaigua (city), New York|downtown Canandaigua]], continues east from the junction while US 20 and NY 5 turn south onto a bypass around Canandaigua.<ref name="2008map"/>

====Canandaigua area====
Half a mile from the start of the bypass and a short distance before the arterial makes a turn eastward to traverse [[Canandaigua Lake]] to the southeast, US 20 and NY 5 meets [[New York State Route 21|NY 21]] at a four-way intersection. Like US 20 and NY 5, NY 21 once continued directly into downtown, in this instance via Bristol Street to the east of the junction, but now follows US 20 and NY 5 along the east–west leg of the bypass. Past Bristol Street, the bypass widens from two to four lanes and, after meeting two local streets, enters the city of Canandaigua as the [[limited-access highway|limited-access]] Western Boulevard, albeit with no exits. The route loses this distinction before intersecting South Main Street, where US 20, NY 5 and NY 21 meet the southern terminus of [[New York State Route 332|NY 332]]. NY 21 departs the bypass, following NY 332 into downtown, while US 20 and NY 5 continue onto the four-lane, median separated Eastern Boulevard, the original section of the US 20 and NY 5 bypasses of Canandaigua. The roadway acts a centre of commerce for the city, sporting [[restaurant]]s, [[hotel]]s, and [[supermarket]]s along its length within the city limits.<ref name="2008map"/>

Upon exiting the city, the establishments become a pair of [[shopping plaza]]s centred around the intersection with the northern terminus of [[New York State Route 364|NY 364]]. Across the town line in [[Hopewell, New York|Hopewell]] a quarter-mile to the east, a third plaza, anchored by [[Runnings]], formerly a [[Walmart]], dominates the northeast corner of [[County Route 10 (Ontario County, New York)|CR 10]] and Eastern Boulevard. On the adjacent parcel is another plaza containing the current Walmart. At the entrance to the second plaza, US 20 and NY 5 intersect Lakeshore Drive, the former routing of US 20 and NY 5 to the south of the bypass. Past the junction, the divided highway comes to an end and, after another half-mile, narrows to two lanes.<ref name="2008map"/>

===Canandaigua to Auburn===
Deeper into Hopewell, the area surrounding US 20 and NY 5 become rural once more. Roughly {{convert|1.5|mi|1}} from the end of the bypass, US 20 and NY 5 meet [[New York State Route 247|NY 247]]. After {{convert|10.3|mi|1}} of eastward progression through open land, the routes meet the northern terminus of both [[New York State Route 14A|NY 14A]] and [[New York State Route 245|NY 245]], concurrent at this location, in the [[Geneva (town), New York|town of Geneva]]. A half-mile past NY 14A and NY 245, US 20 and NY 5 enter the [[Geneva (city), New York|city of Geneva]] and widens into a four-lane road. In the city, US 20 and NY 5 intersect [[New York State Route 14|NY 14]] by way of a pseudo-interchange on the bank of [[Seneca Lake (New York)|Seneca Lake]]. US 20 and NY 5 turns into a divided highway again at this point. At the interchange, [[New York State Route 14 Truck|NY 14 Truck]] joins US 20 and NY 5, bypassing a sharp turn on NY 14 downtown. US 20 and NY 5 continues as a divided highway around the northern tip of Seneca Lake, crossing the [[Preemption Line]] and entering [[Seneca County, New York|Seneca County]] at its midpoint. A mile to the east in [[East Geneva, New York|East Geneva]], just east of a railroad underpass, US 20 and NY 5 meet the northern terminus of [[New York State Route 96A|NY 96A]] at a former [[trumpet interchange]] that has been converted to an intersection with a traffic signal.<ref name="2008map"/>

[[File:West of Auburn, NY.jpg|thumb|US 20, NY 5 and NY 414 in [[Seneca Falls (hamlet), New York|Seneca Falls]]]]
From NY 96A east to the [[Waterloo (village), New York|village of Waterloo]], a distance of roughly four miles, US 20 and NY 5 become a two-lane road and run parallel to the [[Cayuga–Seneca Canal]]. In Waterloo, the concurrency meets [[New York State Route 96|NY 96]] in the village centre. East of the village, the distance between the canal and the roadway decreases, making US 20 and NY 5 the closest road to the water for the next one and a half miles to [[New York State Route 414|NY 414]] in the [[Seneca Falls (town), New York|town of Seneca Falls]]. NY 414 joins US 20 and NY 5, overlapping the road for {{convert|4.3|mi|1}} into the [[Seneca Falls (hamlet), New York|hamlet of Seneca Falls]]. At Cayuga Street, NY 414 turns south, crossing the water body that is the canal and the [[Seneca River (New York)|Seneca River]] and becoming Ovid Street while US 20 and NY 5 turn north onto Cayuga, following the street around the small [[Van Cleef Lake]], through the [[Finger Lakes Railway]] grade crossing, and exiting the hamlet. Three miles from NY 414, just west of [[Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge]], US 20 and NY 5 meet [[New York State Route 318|NY 318]] and [[New York State Route 89|NY 89]] at intersections just {{convert|0.1|mi}} apart. The intersection with NY 89 has a traffic signal.<ref name="2008map"/>

About three miles (5 km) later, after entering Cayuga County over the [[Seneca River (New York)|Seneca River]]/[[Cayuga and Seneca Canal]], just north of [[Cayuga Lake]], the two routes meet [[New York State Route 90|NY 90]] in the [[Aurelius, New York|town of Aurelius]], at a traffic signal. A few miles east of that intersection, the highway meets the Finger Lakes Railway again but crosses it via an [[overpass]]. The routes continue eastward through [[Aurelius, New York|Aurelius]] to the [[Auburn, New York|city of Auburn]] where it turns into a divided four-lane highway again. On the western edge of the city, just after passing Finger Lakes Mall, US 20 and NY 5 meet the eastern terminus of [[New York State Route 326|NY 326]], which is also a four-lane divided highway for a short stretch. In downtown Auburn, US 20 and NY 5's east and west lanes split apart from each other for a short distance as an arterial over the alignments of Clark Street, Franklin Street, and Grant Avenue. The arterial runs concurrent with [[New York State Route 38|NY 38]] for {{convert|0.2|mi|1}}. NY 38 then splits from the concurrency and joins [[New York State Route 34|NY 34]]. A quarter-mile to the east, US 20 separates from NY 5 at the northern terminus of [[New York State Route 38A|NY 38A]]. NY 5 continues after the split as the four-lane Grant Avenue passing by a high number of shopping areas.<ref name="2008map"/>

===Auburn to Syracuse===
From [[New York State Route 174|NY 174]] in [[Camillus, New York (village)|Camillus]] to [[Fairmount, New York|Fairmount]], NY 5 is a {{convert|5|mi|0|adj=on}} [[limited-access highway]] traversing the western suburbs of [[Syracuse, New York|Syracuse]].

In Syracuse, NY 5 is parallel to [[Interstate 690|I-690]] for much of its routing but never encounters the highway, thus making the north–south streets that intersect NY 5 entry points to and from I-690. In downtown Syracuse, West Genesee Street becomes James Street. At the southern tip of the interchange between I-690 and [[Interstate 81 in New York|I-81]], NY 5 transfers onto Erie Boulevard and intersects State Street ([[U.S. Route 11 in New York|US 11]]), but passes under I-81 without access.<ref name="NY 5 in Syracuse"/> From the downtown area to [[DeWitt, New York|DeWitt]], NY 5 is divided.<ref>{{cite map|publisher=Rand McNally|title=Motor Carrier's Atlas|year=2007|edition=Deluxe|page=70|section=NF9}}</ref> At the Syracuse–DeWitt boundary, NY 5 intersects [[New York State Route 635|NY 635]] and eastward, it curves to a southeast course.

===Syracuse to Utica===
NY 5 and NY 92 remain concurrent up to Highbridge Road, where NY 92 splits from NY 5 and heads southeast to [[Manlius (village), New York|Manlius]]. The segment of the overlap with NY 92 between I-481 and the eastern split is the busiest area of NY 5 in the Syracuse area and in all of Onondaga County.<ref name="traffic">{{cite web |url=https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/technical-services/hds-respository/onondagatvbk.pdf |title=Onondaga County traffic counts |year=2003 |publisher=[[New York State Department of Transportation]] |access-date=January 12, 2012}}</ref> Past the split, NY 5 continues east through Onondaga and [[Madison County, New York|Madison]] counties, passing [[Fayetteville, New York|Fayetteville]], [[Chittenango, New York|Chittenango]], and [[Canastota, New York|Canastota]] before entering the vicinity of [[Oneida, New York|Oneida]]. West of the city, NY 5 intersects [[New York State Route 365A|NY 365A]], a spur route of [[New York State Route 365|NY 365]] leading directly into downtown. To the east, NY 5 (which forms the southern boundary of the city) meets [[New York State Route 46|NY 46]] before crossing over [[Oneida Creek]] and into [[Oneida County, New York|Oneida County]].<ref name="2008map"/>

Just past the county line in [[Oneida Castle, New York|Oneida Castle]], NY 5 intersects NY 365, a route leading northward to the [[New York State Thruway]] in [[Verona, New York|Verona]]. NY 5 presses on, passing through the city of [[Sherrill, New York|Sherrill]] and the village of [[Vernon (village), New York|Vernon]] (briefly overlapping [[New York State Route 31|NY 31]]) and the town of [[Westmoreland, New York|Westmoreland]] to the town of [[Kirkland, New York|Kirkland]], where NY 5 intersects [[New York State Route 233|NY 233]], crosses over [[Oriskany Creek]], and meets the western terminus of NY 5B. The spur of NY 5 later rejoins its parent yards from where [[New York State Route 5A|NY 5A]] departs NY 5 to serve western [[Utica, New York|Utica]]. NY 5 itself continues eastward through [[New Hartford (town), New York|New Hartford]], meeting [[New York State Route 12B|NY 12B]] before merging with [[New York State Route 12|NY 12]] at Genesee Street. Both routes continue eastward across the [[Sauquoit Creek]] into [[Utica, New York|Utica]].<ref name="2008map"/>

===Utica to Albany===
[[File:State Street, Schenctady, NY.jpg|thumb|right|State Street in downtown Schenectady]]
NY 5 enters the city of Utica on a concurrency with NY 12 heading in a northeast direction. It shortly picks up [[New York State Route 8|NY 8]], and all three cross the city together. NY 5 also intersects with the terminus of [[New York State Route 840|NY 840]] at this point. Just south of the [[New York State Thruway]], [[Interstate 790|I-790]] begins as a short expressway, also including NY 5, NY 8, and NY 12. After crossing out of the city, they meet the Thruway, with NY 8 and 12 continuing northeast, while I-790 and NY 5 turns to the east-south-east, picking up the tail-end of [[New York State Route 49|NY 49]]. These three, still as an expressway, straddle each side of the Thruway for a short way, with I-790 technically ending at the ramps for I-90. NY 5 continues to the end of the expressway, only a few hundred feet later, dropping to Leland Avenue. A few hundred feet to the north of the Thruway, NY 5 turns eastward again to continue down Herkimer Road. It closely parallels the Thruway to [[Herkimer (village), New York|Herkimer]], where NY 5 moves slightly northward through the centre of the village, becoming State Street, while I-90 crosses the [[Erie Canal]] and goes south for a short distance. There is a short concurrency with [[New York State Route 28|NY 28]] in the village.<ref name="2008map"/>

After exiting Herkimer, NY 5 continues east, closely paralleling this time the canal, through the city of [[Little Falls (city), New York|Little Falls]] as Main Street, where two more concurrencies occur, with [[New York State Route 167|NY 167]] and [[New York State Route 169|NY 169]]. NY 5 continues to parallel the canal, and in some instances again, the Thruway, through [[Amsterdam (city), New York|Amsterdam]], becoming Amsterdam Road all the way to [[Scotia, New York|Scotia]], where it crosses the canal into [[Schenectady, New York|Schenectady]] as Mohawk Avenue, turning into State Street upon entering the city limits. It continues fairly straight on a southeast course into [[Albany, New York|Albany]] as Central Avenue until it reaches [[Townsend Park]]. At this point, NY 5 turns into Washington Avenue and all signage referring to NY 5 ceases. The [[New York State Department of Transportation]] recognizes the route, however, as it continues down Washington Ave past the [[New York State Capitol]] building, turning south for a short distance as Eagle Street. NY 5 then continues east on State Street to Broadway, where it again turns south-east shortly before returning east on a small spur of Broadway, travelling underneath [[U.S. Route 9 in New York|US 9]] and [[Interstate 787|I-787]]. NY 5 ends at the [[Hudson River]].<ref name="2008map"/>

==History==

===Early roads===
Soon after the end of the [[American Revolution]] in 1783, a surge of westward migration into [[Central New York|Central]] and [[Western New York]] began. At the time, most travel west of the Albany area was by water. While rudimentary roads were laid out following the [[Mohawk River]], there were no major land routes west of [[Old Fort Schuyler|Fort Schuyler]] (present-day [[Utica, New York|Utica]]), except for an old east–west [[Iroquois]] trail that was a simple footpath. By the late 1780s, many companies began to set up their operations in the new settlements in the Central and Western New York. As a result, there was a clamour for the building of the main road running west from Utica.<ref name="pioneer" />

[[File:NY 5 east at NY 46.jpg|thumb|left|Junction of NY 5 and NY 46 in Oneida]]
On March 22, 1794, the [[New York State Legislature]] passed a law calling for the laying out and improvement of a public road from old Fort Schuyler on the Mohawk River to the settlement of [[Canawaugus, New York|Canawaugus]] on the [[Genesee River]], in as straight a line as the topography of the land would allow. This road was officially known as the "Great Genesee Road" and is one of the earliest state roads in New York,<ref name="pioneer" /> intended to provide access to the [[New Military Tract]]. As planned, it generally followed the old Iroquois trail through [[Oneida, New York|Oneida]], [[Manlius (village), New York|Manlius]], [[Onondaga Valley]] (south of modern [[Syracuse, New York|Syracuse]]), [[Skaneateles (village), New York|Skaneateles]], [[Auburn, New York|Auburn]], [[Seneca Falls (hamlet), New York|Seneca Falls]], [[Geneva (city), New York|Geneva]], and [[Canandaigua (city), New York|Canandaigua]]<ref name="genesee">{{Cite encyclopedia |publisher=Syracuse University Press |isbn=978-0-8156-0808-0 |page=631 |editor1-first=Peter R. |editor1-last=Eisenstadt |editor2-first=Laura-Eve |editor2-last=Moss |last=Rivette |first=Barbara S. |encyclopedia=The Encyclopedia of New York State |title=Genesee Road |year=2005}}</ref> before ending at the Genesee River. Four years later, another legislative act authorized the extension of the Genesee Road to [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]].<ref name="pioneer">{{cite book |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=a71pj9gURHYC&pg=PA95 |title=Pioneer Roads and Experiences of Travelers |volume=2 |last=Hulbert |first=Archer Butler |page=95 |chapter=The Genesee Road |publisher=Arthur H. Clark Company |year=1904 |access-date=February 3, 2010}}</ref>

By the end of the 18th century, while the Genesee Road had been greatly improved and saw heavy traffic, many portions were still substandard and some sections had still not been completed.<ref name="genesee" /><ref name="hulbert" /> Partly because of this, and also because of the success of the [[Lancaster Turnpike]] in [[Pennsylvania]], the state outsourced the task of improving and maintaining the Genesee Road to a private company. On April 1, 1800, the [[Seneca Road Company]] was chartered for this purpose and the portion of the Genesee Road from Utica to Canandaigua was improved and operated as a toll road known as the Seneca Turnpike,<ref name="hulbert" /> which was {{convert|157|mi|0}} long and, at the time, the longest [[toll road|turnpike]] in the state.<ref name="genesee" /><ref name="seneca">{{Cite encyclopedia |publisher=Syracuse University Press |isbn=978-0-8156-0808-0 |pages=1588–1589 |editor1-first=Peter R. |editor1-last=Eisenstadt |editor2-first=Laura-Eve |editor2-last=Moss |last=Baer |first=Christopher T. |encyclopedia=The Encyclopedia of New York State |title=Turnpikes |year=2005}}</ref> Three days later, the old road following the Mohawk River between Utica and [[Schenectady, New York|Schenectady]] also became a turnpike, known as the Mohawk Turnpike.<ref name="hulbert">{{cite book |first=Archer Butler |last=Hulbert |title=Historic Highways of America |publisher=Ams Pr Inc |year=1971}}</ref>

With the road leading from [[Albany, New York|Albany]] northwest to Schenectady having been already established as a turnpike (the Albany and Schenectady Turnpike) in 1797, an all-turnpike route over good quality roads was now available from Albany to Canandaigua. The western extension of the Genesee Road to Buffalo soon followed suit and also became an improved [[Macadam]] toll road,<ref>{{cite book|title=Images of America: Amherst|isbn=0-7385-3680-6|publisher=Arcadia Publishing|last=Grande |first=Joseph A.|year=2004|page=50}}</ref> the Ontario and Genesee Turnpike, in 1805.

The construction and opening of the [[Erie Canal]] in 1825 along the same alignment as the Albany to Buffalo route began to eat away at the revenues of these turnpike companies. In time, the turnpike business had become unprofitable and the companies were dissolved by 1852, causing the roads to revert to public control.<ref name="tpke" /> The Seneca Road Company dissolved in 1852. The old, southern path of the Seneca Turnpike is now Franklin Street and Old Seneca Turnpike from Auburn to [[Marcellus (village), New York|Marcellus]], [[New York State Route 175|NY 175]] between Marcellus and [[Onondaga Hill, New York|Onondaga Hill]], and [[New York State Route 173|NY 173]] from there east to Chittenango.<ref name="genesee" /><ref name="seneca" />

===Designation===
The improvement of the road from Buffalo southwest to Pennsylvania in the mid-19th century soon allowed for continuous travel across the entire state of New York. With the advent of the [[automobile]], the state began to take over and pave major thoroughfares at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1908, the state legislature created a statewide system of unsigned [[legislative route]]s. One of the routes assigned at this time was Route 6, an Albany–Buffalo highway that followed the path of the Genesee Road and the Seneca Turnpike from Buffalo to Utica, the Mohawk Turnpike between Utica and Schenectady, and the Albany and Schenectady Turnpike from Schenectady to Albany. From Auburn to Chittenango, Route 6 utilized most of the newer, northern branch of the Seneca Turnpike.<ref name="1909book">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jZ0AAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA56 |author=State of New York Department of Highways |title=The Highway Law |year=1909 |publisher=J.

[[File:NY 5 reassurance shield in Williamsville edited.jpg|thumb|[[Reassurance marker]] on NY 5 in Williamsville]]
The automobile allowed people to quickly travel long distances and a way to mark routes became needed. One early means of marking routes was the establishment of various [[auto trail]] associations in the 1910s. These associations selected good quality roads and marked them with symbols or colors on telephone poles. Most of legislative Route 6 eventually became part of the [[Yellowstone Trail]],<ref name="1926map">{{cite map |title=Official Map Showing State Highways and other important roads |year=1926 |publisher=[[State of New York Department of Public Works]] |cartography=[[Rand McNally and Company]]}}</ref> a cross-country auto trail established in 1912 that ran from [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to [[Massachusetts]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.newrichmond-news.com/event/article/id/29613/ |title=Life in the past lane |last=Kruse |first=Laura |date=June 17, 2010 |newspaper=[[New Richmond News]] |access-date=December 10, 2010 |location=[[New Richmond, Wisconsin]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120905011929/http://www.newrichmond-news.com/event/article/id/29613/ |archive-date=September 5, 2012 }}</ref> In New York, the trail used modern [[U.S. Route 20 in New York|US 20]] from Pennsylvania to [[Silver Creek, New York|Silver Creek]], most of modern NY 5 from Silver Creek to Albany, and modern US 20 again from Albany to Massachusetts.<ref name="1926map" />

In 1924, following what other states did, New York began to assign route numbers to its main thoroughfares. The Albany to Buffalo portion of the Yellowstone Trail, which ran through the cities of Syracuse and Utica, was assigned the number NY 5A. The portion of the Yellowstone Trail southwest of Buffalo and east of Albany became part of NY 5, which bypassed Syracuse and Utica to the south. The Buffalo to Albany portion of NY 5's original alignment used a new road, Broadway Road, from Buffalo to [[Avon (village), New York|Avon]] and the old [[Cherry Valley Turnpike]] alignment from Skaneateles to Albany. In between Avon and Skaneateles, NY 5 and NY 5A overlapped.<ref name="1924nyt">{{cite news |title=New York's Main Highways Designated by Numbers |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=December 21, 1924 |page=XX9}}</ref><ref name="1926map" />

By 1926, however, the Buffalo to Albany section of NY 5 was relocated onto the Genesee Road alignment, replacing NY 5A. NY 5's former, more southerly alignment was redesignated as [[New York State Route 7 (mid-1920s–1927)|NY 7]].<ref name="1926map" /> In 1927, the establishment of the [[U.S. Highway System]] created more numbering changes. US 20, which mainly followed the Yellowstone Trail elsewhere in the country, was designated in New York along NY 5 southwest of Hamburg and east of Albany and along old NY 7 from Skaneateles to Albany. Between the towns of Hamburg and Avon, the new US 20 used an even more southerly alignment, running via East Aurora and Warsaw. This truncated both ends of NY 5 to [[Athol Springs, New York|Athol Springs]] (south of Buffalo in the town of Hamburg) in the west, and to Albany in the east.<ref>{{cite book |title=Automobile Blue Book |publisher=Automobile Blue Book, Inc |location=Chicago |edition=1927 |year=1927 |volume=1}} This edition shows U.S. Routes as they were first officially signed in 1927.</ref>

In the [[1930 state highway renumbering (New York)|1930 state highway renumbering]], NY 5 was truncated even further to begin in downtown Buffalo. The portion between Buffalo and Athol Springs was assigned as part of [[New York State Route 62 (1930–1932)|NY 62]].<ref name="gb">''Automobile Legal Association (ALA) Automobile Green Book'', 1930–31 and 1931–32 editions, (Scarborough Motor Guide Co., Boston, 1930 and 1931).

[[U.S. Route 62 in New York|US 62]] was extended into New York {{circa|lk=no|1932}}, causing NY 62 to be renumbered. Around the same time, US 20 was realigned to follow NY 20B from Irving to Big Tree. NY 5 was extended along part of old NY 62 to Athol Springs, from where it continued to the Pennsylvania state line by way of US 20's old routing to Irving and all of NY 20A.<ref name="1931map">{{cite map |title=New York |publisher=[[Kendall Refining Company]] |year=1931 |cartography=[[H.M.

===Expressway relocations===
Originally, NY 5 entered Buffalo from the south on Fuhrmann Boulevard and Michigan Avenue and followed South Park Avenue and Main Street through the city before rejoining its modern alignment at Goodell Street. In the mid-1950s, a new [[limited-access highway]] was constructed along Fuhrmann Boulevard from [[Lackawanna, New York|Lackawanna]] to the [[Buffalo River (New York)|Buffalo River]]. At the river, the new roadway broke from Fuhrmann and continued directly into downtown, returning to grade level two blocks south of Niagara Square. The expressway, known as the Buffalo Skyway, became part of a rerouted NY 5 by 1956.<ref name="1954map">{{cite map |title=New York with Special Maps of Putnam–Rockland–Westchester Counties and Finger Lakes Region |publisher=[[Esso]] |cartography=General Drafting |edition=1955–56 |year=1954}}</ref><ref name="1956map">{{cite map |title=New York with Special Maps of Putnam–Rockland–Westchester Counties and Finger Lakes Region |publisher=Esso |cartography=General Drafting |edition=1957 |year=1956}}</ref> Visually, the Skyway cuts off the city from the Buffalo inner harbor.

Smaller realignments also took place in other cities along the route. In [[Canandaigua (city), New York|Canandaigua]], NY 5 originally entered the city on West Avenue and followed South Main Street and Lakeshore Drive through the city limits before rejoining its current routing in [[Hopewell, New York|Hopewell]].

In April 2014 work began on a $68.3 million project to replace the viaduct over Columbia Street, Lafayette Streets, and Oriskany Boulevard (NY 5A and NY 5S) in Utica. The nearly one mile stretch had signalized at-grade intersections that had been causing safety concerns and some fatalities. In addition to the replacement of the viaduct, the alignment of the arterial was straightened, a new [[single point urban interchange]] was built at Court Street, and a pedestrian bridge was built across the roadway. The pedestrian bridge was opened by December 2014, and the remainder of the project was completed by October 2017.<ref name="NY5 8 12 arterial">{{cite web |url=https://www.dot.ny.gov/regional-offices/region2/projects/arterial-viaduct-replacement |title=Route 5-8-12 North-South Arterial Viaduct Replacement |date=2014 |publisher=NYSDOT |access-date=April 2, 2020}}</ref><ref name="NSAHR">{{cite web |url=https://www.roadtraffic-technology.com/projects/utica-north-south-arterial-highway-reconstruction-new-york/ |title=Utica North-South Arterial Highway Reconstruction, New York |date=2014 |publisher=roadtraffic-technology.com |access-date=April 2, 2020}}</ref>

==Suffixed routes==
NY 5 has three suffixed routes, all located in Oneida County, with NY 5S extending eastward into three other counties. The NY 5A designation was also used in the past for two other routes.

===NY 5A===
*The NY 5A designation has been used for three distinct highways:
**The first NY 5A was a short-lived designation for the portion of modern NY 5 east of [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]]. When it existed from 1924 to the mid-1920s, NY 5 was routed on what is now [[U.S. Route 20 in New York|US 20]].<ref name="1924nyt" /><ref name="1926map" />
**The second NY 5A was a northerly alternate route of NY 5 between [[Aurelius, New York|Aurelius]] and [[Sennett, New York|Sennett]] in [[Cayuga County, New York|Cayuga County]]. It was assigned {{circa|lk=no|1933}}<ref name="1932map" /><ref>{{cite map |title=Texaco Road Map: New York |publisher=Texas Oil Company |year=1933 |cartography=Rand McNally and Company}}</ref> and renumbered to NY 135 {{circa|lk=no|1937}}.<ref name="1936map">{{cite map |title=Road Map: New York |publisher=Shell Oil Company |year=1936 |cartography=H.M.

The [[New York State Route 5A|current NY 5A]] is a short {{convert|5.59|mi|km|-long|adj=mid}} alternate route of NY 5 between [[New Hartford (town), New York|New Hartford]] and downtown [[Utica, New York|Utica]] in [[Oneida County, New York|Oneida County]].<ref name="2014tdr" /> It was assigned in the mid-1930s.<ref name="1936map" /><ref>{{cite map |title=New York Road Map for 1938 |publisher=Esso |year=1938 |cartography=General Drafting}}</ref> At its eastern end, NY 5A becomes NY 5S at an interchange with Interstate 790 (I-790), NY 5, NY 8, and NY 12. The route is four lanes wide and passes through mostly commercial areas and connects NY 5 to NY 840 and NY 69.
