New York State Route 32 is a north–south state highway that extends for 176.73 miles (284.42 km) through the Hudson Valley and Capital District regions of the U.S. state of New York. It is a two-lane surface road for nearly its entire length, with few divided and no limited-access sections. From Harriman to Albany it is closely parallel to Interstate 87 and US 9W, overlapping with the latter in several places.

NY 32 begins at NY 17 on the outskirts of the New York metropolitan area near Harriman, and ends at NY 196 north of Hudson Falls, just south of the Adirondacks. In between, the road passes through the cities of Newburgh, Kingston, Albany and Glens Falls. Outside of the cities, it offers views of the Hudson Highlands, Shawangunk Ridge, Catskill Mountains, and, during an overlap with US 4 north of Albany, the Hudson River.

The roads now making up the highway were originally part of several privately maintained turnpikes, which fostered settlements along the corridor. Once part of the former NY 58, it has been NY 32 since 1930. Only one of three letter-suffixed spur routes remains.

Route description

Harriman to Newburgh

Route 32 begins where NY 17 leaves the Quickway overpass west of the New York State Thruway toll barrier, just north of the Harriman village line. To the east is Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, across from Central Valley Elementary School of the Monroe-Woodbury Central School District.[4] Beyond the mall, site of many major traffic jams,[5] NY 32 descends into downtown Central Valley. Two miles (3.2 km) north is another of the Town of Woodbury's hamlets, Highland Mills. Beyond Highland Mills the road bends slightly west upon reaching the southwestern foot of Orange County's highest peak, Schunemunk Mountain.

Route 32 in the Woodbury Creek valley

Shortly after Highland Mills, the Port Jervis Line, operated by Metro-North Railroad, crosses over on a high trestle. After crossing over Woodbury Creek and under the Thruway, NY 32 runs along the eastern side of the narrow valley between Schunemunk and the Hudson Highlands.[4] This section of highway runs through mostly wooded terrain as it leaves Woodbury for Cornwall. Just north of Mountainville and the north end of Schunemunk, the road crosses Moodna Creek downstream from the Woodbury Creek confluence. The light at Orrs Mills Road, and the intersection with Angola Road a quarter-mile to the south, were once the beginning and end of a brief concurrency with the former NY 307. Today these are county roads, with Orrs Mills leading up to Storm King Art Center.[4]

The road climbs gently out of the creek valley and enters development. At 1.6 miles (2.6 km) north of Angola Road, it crosses the New Windsor town line and reaches the complicated five-way intersection at the center of Vails Gate, intersecting NY 94 and the beginning of NY 300. The next 2 miles (3.2 km) include a middle turn lane as NY 32 becomes New Windsor's main commercial strip. This section ends at Temple Hill Avenue, with Snake Hill to the west. The road remains heavily commercial as it enters the city of Newburgh as the wide Lake Street.[4]

Vails Gate

At Broadway (NY 17K), Newburgh's main street, NY 32 turns east. The brief, unsigned concurrency ends where 17K terminates at US 9W (Robinson Avenue), at the former Broadway School. NY 32, however, turns north again, beginning the first of several concurrencies with US 9W.

The two highways remain joined for the next 1.2 miles (1.9 km) as they pass the Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux-designed Downing Park and reach the city limit, where Interstate 84 and NY 52 cross the highway heading towards the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge. Immediately beyond that junction, NY 32 separates from US 9W and heads northwest.[4]

Newburgh to New Paltz

Newburgh has a commercial strip north of the city, featuring the Mid-Valley Mall and another large shopping plaza built around a supermarket anchor. This development ends after 1 mile (1.6 km) when 32 passes the Town of Newburgh's Cronomer Hill Park on the south, near a short drive to the summit observation tower.[4] Two miles (3.2 km) more brings Route 32 to the center of the hamlet of Cronomer Valley and an unusual junction with NY 300. At what seems to be a conventional four-way intersection regulated by a traffic light, both highways turn, and it is necessary to turn to the northeast to stay on NY 32 headed north. Traffic that goes straight at this intersection flows onto Route 300.[4]

Views of the Shawangunks and Catskills as the highway nears New Paltz

From this intersection, NY 32 passes Chadwick Lake, the town's reservoir, and continues straight north through much less-developed, mostly wooded countryside for 4 miles (6.4 km) to the Ulster County line, almost the point at which the woods diminish.[4] Barely 1 mile (1.6 km) into Plattekill, the highway crosses the Thruway again. It curves northwards shortly thereafter, retaining a slightly westward trend through mostly open fields near the Shawangunk Ridge. At 4.5 miles (7.2 km) from the Thruway, NY 32 intersects US 44 and NY 55 in the center of another Town of Plattekill hamlet, Modena.[4] A short distance beyond, the highway crosses into Gardiner, taking a wide bend around Locust Lawn, the Federal-style home of early 19th-century politician Josiah Hasbrouck.[6]

North of Modena, the surrounding area becomes slightly more wooded near where NY 32 crosses into the Town of New Paltz. The highway curves before entering the village next to the campus of State University of New York at New Paltz. Two blocks north of campus, at New Paltz Middle School, it turns west at a traffic signal to join NY 299 as the village's Main Street.[4]

New Paltz to Kingston

Downtown New Paltz

While NY 32 officially remains concurrent with NY 299 all the way to the traffic light at the northern terminus of NY 208, a sign at the Elting Memorial Library, just before the center of downtown, directs northbound traffic on the highway down North Front Street. This shortcut allows that traffic to skip an often busy intersection and head out of the village on North Chestnut Street.[4] Once past the village, the Ulster Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) building comes up on the west and the town hall along the east. NY 32 then becomes mostly rural again.[4]

Over the next 5 miles (8.0 km), the road trends easterly until NY 213 joins it from the east right before the bridge over the Wallkill. Now concurrent, 32 and 213 bend away from the Thruway and pass through the hamlet of Tillson and then descend to cross Rondout Creek at the former village of Rosendale. Just after the crossing, at the Stewart's, NY 213 leaves to the west along the creek, ending a 2.5-mile (4.0 km) concurrency.[4]

From Rosendale, NY 32 climbs up out of the Rondout valley and veers east into the hamlet of Maple Hill, where it crosses over the Thruway once again. It resumes a northerly course through Bloomington, and several miles further on crosses the Kingston city line.[4]

Kingston and Saugerties

On its route through Kingston, NY 32 frequently changes streets and directions. It enters town as Boulevard and meanders to just past Washington Avenue, where it splits onto the more easterly Greenkill Avenue and Fair Street for several blocks. NY 213 returns, merging from the south as Wilbur Avenue. The joined routes then turn onto Clinton Avenue for two blocks, then east onto Henry Street for about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) to Broadway, where NY 32 turns north and NY 213 ends.[4][7]

Another 0.5 miles (0.80 km) brings Broadway to the wide junction where Interstate 587 and NY 28 both terminate. NY 32 follows Albany Avenue northeast to Flatbush Avenue, where it turns to assume an eastward course. This finally bends slightly north to East Chester Street near the city limit, where US 9W again comes in to begin a brief wrong-way concurrency in which NY 32 north is US 9W south. It ends, unsigned, after 1,500 feet (460 m) with US 9W's turn onto Frank Koenig Boulevard.[4]

Continuing as Flatbush Road into the Town of Ulster, NY 32 is for the first time along its route east of US 9W and closer to the river. It then has an interchange with NY 199 immediately west of the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge. Soon after, it passes Kingston-Ulster Airport. It remains on a northerly heading until 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Saugerties, where it veers west and merges with US 9W again.[4] The two routes cross Esopus Creek and enter the village, where Partition Street gives way to Main Street. At that T intersection, US 9W turns to continue north, while NY 32 picks up the new NY 212 and heads west out of town.[4]

The Catskills to Albany

After one block of Main Street, NY 32 and NY 212 turn onto Market Street, then east onto Ulster Avenue after another block. As it crosses the railroad tracks and leaves the village, the road widens and becomes a commercial highway just before reaching a Thruway exit. This, the fourth time NY 32 has crossed the Thruway, is the first time it does so at an exit. Beyond the overpass, the concurrency ends when NY 32 turns and heads north once again. A tight nearby on-ramp provides access to the southbound Thruway.[4] NY 32 does not enter the Catskills but provides access to them along this stretch.[4]

Kaaterskill High Peak in the distance as Route 32 nears the Catskills

At this point, the distance between NY 32 and the Thruway begins to widen.[4] At the junction with Malden Turnpike (Ulster County 34), Route 32 turns westward, toward the Catskill Escarpment, and starts climbing through some rock cuts. When Blue Mountain Road (Ulster County 35) comes in from the south, NY 32 resumes heading north, parallel to the ridge. One mile (1.6 km) from that junction, its only suffixed route, NY 32A, splits off to the west to provide direct access via NY 23A and Kaaterskill Clove to Tannersville and Hunter.[4]

After crossing into Greene County, the road intersects NY 23A at an undeveloped junction. NY 32 remains in its straight course through the lowlands below the escarpment, passing through mostly woodlands and the hamlet of Kiskatom, then winding around the north side of Cairo Roundtop before it joins with NY 23 at Cairo. After 1.5 miles (2.4 km), NY 32 leaves the divided highway to once again strike north as a two-lane route. It trends west to its westernmost point until turning to the north-northeast just south of Freehold.[4]

North of Freehold the road begins to climb. Views south to the Catskills appear as it nears the center of Greenville, where it crosses NY 81. One mile (1.6 km) further on, NY 32 enters Albany County via Westerlo near the Basic Creek Reservoir. The climbing stops another mile after the county line, where Route 32 reaches its highest elevation, Template:Ft to m,[8] on the plateaus south of the Helderberg Escarpment. The road starts to curve back east as the surrounding landscape opens up, with larger fields surrounding it and a slow descent to the Hudson beginning.

Rural landscape along Route 32 in Westerlo

After sharing 2 miles (3.2 km) of road with NY 143, crossing the northern end of Alcove Reservoir and descending the southern end of the Helderberg Escarpment, the road veers eastward toward Albany.[4] To get there, it crosses into New Scotland just after the hamlet of Feura Bush and crosses a long bridge over the northern end of the busy Selkirk rail yard, where freight trains bound for New York City wait before crossing the Hudson at the Alfred H. Smith Memorial Bridge.

The landscape becomes more developed, though still rural, as the highway winds past a SABIC plant and other development accompanying the rail yard, entering the town of Bethlehem. At the southern corner of Delmar, NY 32 turns more to the east becomes a divided highway with grade intersections, the only non-concurrent segment of Route 32 to take this form. This segment continues, largely undeveloped, as it intersects NY 335 and crosses under the Thruway for the last time before reaching its final concurrency with US 9W at Kenwood. A half-mile east of the Thruway, Route 32 again breaks from 9W and follows residential Corning Hill Road downhill to River Road, where it turns to the north again and crosses Normans Kill into Albany, becoming Pearl Street, and then paralleling Interstate 787 for a short distance past the Port of Albany before crossing underneath it.[4]

Albany to Hudson Falls

Within Albany, NY 32 is routed on Pearl Street, intersecting US 9 and 20 near the approach to the Dunn Memorial Bridge. Near the city limits, NY 32 passes under Interstate 90. Upon crossing into neighboring Menands, NY 32 bears onto Wolfert Avenue to access Broadway. Broadway, a business thoroughfare originating in downtown Albany, is designated New York State Route 910C, an unsigned reference route, for 0.06 miles (0.10 km) south of Wolfert Avenue to the Albany city line.[9] NY 32 occupies Broadway north of Wolfert Avenue, paralleling I-787 into Watervliet.[4]

Residential neighborhood along Route 32 in Cohoes

At 13th Street, NY 32 leaves Broadway and follows 13th two blocks west to an intersection with 2nd Avenue. Here, NY 155 begins and occupies 13th to the west of 2nd while NY 32 turns north onto 2nd. NY 32 continues in the vicinity of I-787 and its continuation, NY 787, through Watervliet and Green Island to Cohoes, where NY 787 ends at NY 32 near the convergence of the Mohawk and Hudson rivers. Past NY 787, NY 32 crosses both the Mohawk River and the Erie Canal before intersecting U.S. Route 4 in Waterford. The two routes merge, forming an overlap northward along the Hudson River.[4]

In Mechanicville, US 4 and NY 32 briefly overlap NY 67. Farther north, the two routes split north of Stillwater at the southern edge of the Saratoga National Historical Park. While US 4 straddles the park to the east, NY 32 follows the southern and western extents of the park before rejoining US 4 south of Schuylerville. In Schuylerville, the two routes are concurrent with NY 29 for a short distance before exiting the village. To the north of the village in Northumberland, NY 32 separates from US 4 and heads northwest to Gansevoort, where it meets NY 50. NY 32 continues north on the right-of-way of NY 50 to South Glens Falls, where U.S. Route 9 joins NY 32 northward across the Hudson River into Glens Falls.[4]

Shortly after entering the city, NY 32 turns onto Warren Street, splitting from US 9 and following the Hudson River east toward Hudson Falls. At Highland Avenue, NY 32 turns east, following Highland past Quaker Road (NY 254) to Dix Avenue, where it merges east onto Dix. NY 32 remains on Dix into Hudson Falls, intersecting US 4 one last time north of the village before continuing through the intersection onto Burgoyne Avenue. The route remains on Burgoyne around the northeastern portion of Hudson Falls to NY 196, where NY 32 terminates.[4] The highway continues as Washington County Route 37 south to US 4 in Hudson Falls.

History

Old roads

Route 32 was once made up of several privately owned turnpikes that stretched throughout New York. A stretch from Catskill to Cairo was also once part of the Susquehanna Turnpike. Created in April 1800, the Susquehanna Turnpike began in Catskill and ended in Unadilla.[10] The Susquehanna Turnpike aided the growth of Greene County, which until then had depended on steamboats on the Susquehanna River and Catskill Creek. The turnpike attracted business from the New England states, made shipping easier for the county's farmers, and improved shipping from New York City.[11]

The turnpike was no longer maintained by a private company after 1899 and the highway remained intact for over 75 years. In 1974, part of the turnpike was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[12] Route 32 was also part of the Orange Turnpike, which stretched from the New Jersey line to Newburgh. The turnpike, created three days after the Susquehanna Turnpike, follows the current routes of NY 17 and NY 32. North of Newburgh, the road follows another old turnpike to the Route 300 junction and then the old Plattekill Turnpike into Ulster County.[10]

Designation

In 1924, the segment of modern NY 32 between Albany and Mechanicville was designated as part of NY 6. From Mechanicville to Hudson Falls, the current routing of NY 32 became part of NY 30.[13] By 1926, the portion of what is now NY 32 from Harriman to Newburgh was designated New York State Route 58.[14] From Newburgh to Albany, NY 32 remained unnumbered at the time.[15] When U.S. Routes were first assigned in New York in 1927, the portion of NY 6 from Albany to Waterford was designated as the northernmost portion of U.S. Route 9W. In Waterford, US 9W merged with U.S. Route 9E and continued north as U.S. Route 9 to Mechanicville, where US 9 turned west onto modern NY 67.[16]

In the 1930 renumbering, US 9W was truncated to Albany while US 9 was rerouted to follow a new stretch between Albany and Round Lake. The former routing of both routes along the Hudson River between Albany and Mechanicville, as well as the entirety of NY 58 and the portion of NY 30 from Schuylerville to Hudson Falls was integrated into the new NY 32, which followed its current routing between Harriman and the Stillwater community of Bemis Heights and from Schuylerville to Hudson Falls.[17] Between Bemis Heights and Schuylerville, the original routing of NY 32 is unclear. In some contemporary maps, such as the one accompanying a 1930 New York Times article detailing the 1930 renumbering of state routes in New York, the former routing of NY 30 between Bemis Heights and Schuylerville is shown as "New York State Route 32A"[3][18] with NY 32 following the modern routing of US 4 along the Hudson River.[18] Others, however, place NY 32 on its current routing and show NY 32A on the riverside roadway. Regardless of NY 32's rerouting, U.S. Route 4, which previously ended in Glens Falls, was rerouted south of Hudson Falls to end in East Greenbush.[17] From Northumberland to Waterford, the route used what is now NY 32.[18]

By 1947, NY 32A was removed from contemporary maps of the area while the routing of NY 32 between Bemis Heights and Schuylerville was shown as being identical to that of US 4; namely, via Quaker Springs and Victory Mills.[19][20] US 4 was later rerouted onto the riverside roadway between Bemis Heights and Schuylerville between 1956 and 1962.[21][22]

Reroutings

Route 32 has had several minor reroutings since its inception in 1930. New York State Route 910A in Albany is a rerouting of NY 32, which was redesignated from Feura Bush Road—a two-lane highway—to a road farther north as a four-lane arterial boulevard. Feura Bush Road was then replaced by Route 910A.[23]

Within Queensbury and Hudson Falls, NY 32 was originally routed on Boulevard Street and Feeder Avenue.[24] On April 1, 1980, ownership and maintenance of Boulevard Street between Highland Avenue and the Washington County line was transferred from New York State to Warren County in exchange for control over Highland and Dix Avenues between Warren Avenue and the Washington County line. The portion of Boulevard Street in Hudson Falls, as well as the segment of Feeder Street south of Boulevard, was given to Washington County on April 1 of the following year in return for ownership and maintenance over all of Dix and Burgoyne Avenues north of NY 196.[25] NY 32 was rerouted to follow Highland, Dix, and Burgoyne Avenues shortly afterward.[26]

Future

In several locations, traffic congestion along Route 32 has led to suggestions to change or modify the road. The problems are most severe at the southern terminus, but it is not the only section of the road with issues.

Woodbury Commons

The road's southern terminus at Woodbury Commons is the most frequent topic of discussion, especially since Black Friday in 2001, when heavy traffic from holiday shoppers along adjacent sections of not only 32 but routes 6 and 17 and the Thruway came to a complete standstill. "This should have been planned for and it wasn't", complained one local official. "Now you're trying to close the door and the horse is already out".[27] Despite several efforts and the presence of state police on later Black Fridays,[28], a similar traffic jam ocurred on Labor Day weekend 2006, when a break in bad weather led to an increase in shoppers so marked that Route 6 and the Thruway were backed up as far as Newburgh and the Palisades Interstate Parkway, respectively. The Woodbury police chief cited the blockage created by drivers making the left turn from Route 32 to the Thruway as the cause. Plans to build an exit ramp that would allow that traffic to go directly to the tollbooth have been expedited.[29]

In 2007, New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) officials announced their long-term plan to prevent further traffic jams. They will create a series of loops and overpasses allowing traffic to go directly from southbound Route 32 to the Thruway and remove some traffic lights in front of the mall. The changes are expected to be complete by 2011, as part of improvements to convert the Route 17 expressway into Interstate 86.[30]

Vails Gate

The "Five Corners" intersection of routes 32 and 94 was a four-way junction until World War II, when the Army extended Temple Hill Road, later NY 300, southeast to the junction so that troops and materiel could get between West Point and the airbase at what was then Stewart Field more quickly. It did not become a traffic problem until the 1990s, when gas stations, supermarkets, strip malls and fast-food restaurants had been built on every corner.[31]

By the end of the 20th century, the intersection was handling 30,000 drivers a day, from increasingly developed Cornwall, Newburgh and New Windsor. NYSDOT expanded the intersection with middle-turn lanes and overhead signs on all approaches. Many drivers still felt it was a confusing intersection and that the confusion slowed traffic down as much as the many cars' stopping to enter and exit nearby businesses. In 2001 state officials said they had done everything possible to improve traffic flows through the Five Corners. Continuing congestion was attributable to insufficient or nonexistent planning.[31]

Downtown New Paltz

Congestion in downtown New Paltz

Another choke point has been Main Street in New Paltz, a section shared by routes 32 and 299. This is the main route back to the Thruway and downstate from the heavily used hiking and climbing areas at Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park Preserve in the Shawangunks. It is also a well-developed commercial area in a college town, with ample street parking.

Traffic through the village has been so heavy on weekends during summer and peak leaf peeping weekends in early autumn that many residents have proposed making Main a one-way street, carrying traffic only to the west, while diverting eastbound traffic onto either of two parallel streets.[32] Other villages that have made such changes found making streets one-way decreased business at their retailers.

After four years of studying and reviewing the problem, the town and the village agreed to make the change. In 2007, however, the village's new mayor, who had supported the plan while a trustee, changed his mind and said the village's support was "on hold". While campaigning, he said, few village residents had expressed support for the plan. What he learned since taking over as mayor had only further convinced him that it was mostly town residents who wanted the street changes. He also believed that making Main Street one-way would reduce the total amount of routes available to vehicles passing through the village and would adversely route traffic away from the businesses along Main.[32]

The Rondout Creek bridge at Rosendale.

2008 bridge rehabilitation

In June 2008 NYSDOT began a rehabilitation project on the bridge over Rondout Creek in Rosendale. The 0.5 mi (0.80 km) long project involves rehabilitating it one half at a time. The project is slated to have the 74-year-old bridge up to standards by the fall of 2009. The project will also include improvements on the road leading up to the bridge.[33]

Suffixed routes

Originally, NY 32 had two suffixed routes, NY 32A and NY 32B, that were absorbed by other routes. The NY 32A designation has since been revived for a short connector in the Hudson Valley.
