EspañolNEW YORK STATE ROUTE 17C
(Redirected from New York State Highway 17C)
'New York State Route 17C' is a state highway in the Southern Tier of New York state. It is in Tioga and Broome counties. The western terminus is at the intersection with NY-34 in Waverly, New York, and the eastern terminus is at the intersection with US-11 in Binghamton. It runs concurrently with NY-96 for a block in Owego and for a few blocks with NY-26 in Endicott.
The stretch between Waverly and Owego is the former NY-17, as it was routed prior to the opening of the Southern Tier Expressway. The stretch from Route 96 to Binghamton is the original Route 17C and serves as an alternate route between Owego and the Triple Cities.
NY 17C officially runs east from the intersection with Route 34 in the eastern part of Waverly, but there are street signs along Chemung Street that say "Route 17C" as far west as the Shepherd Hills Golf Course, near the Chemung County line. There is little, if any, evidence that New York state ever signed the highway that far west.
From Waverly, the route passes through the Ellistown area and runs parallel to and north of the Southern Tier Expressway. In fact, this part of the highway was Route 17 prior to the opening of the expressway in the 1970s.
Where the expressway crosses the Susquehanna River just south of the Cannon Hole area, NY 17C stays on the north side of the river, bypassing the Cannon Hole neighborhood and the hamlet of Barton. NY-282 runs south from NY 17C about midway between the hamlets of Smithboro and Tioga Center.
In Tioga Center, NY 17C is the southern terminus of Halsey Valley Road, which was New York state's first NY-225. That highway was decommissioned some time in the 1930s or 1940s, by which time the number had been reassigned to the highway between Sagetown, Chemung County and Corning, Steuben County.
The highway becomes Main Street in Owego, entering the village near the fairgrounds. At the village's main square, NY 17C meets New York State Route 96. The two routes form a concurrency for a short distance along the one-way sections of Court Street (westbound) and Park Street (eastbound) around the Tioga County Courthouse before splitting at Front Street. NY 96 continues across the Susquehanna River to access NY 17 and New York State Route 434 while NY 17C continues east on Front Street through an old residential area. This was where the original Route 17C started, as pre-expressway Route 17 followed Route 96 to a routing (now NY 434) across the river.
In the eastern part of the village, NY 17C breaks from Front Street and continues straight onto Fifth Avenue, following the north bank of the river as it progresses. The highway between the Front Street/Fifth Avenue intersection and the NY-17 access road near Hickories Park is well-developed with retail establishments.
For the next several miles, the highway runs alongside the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks, which separate it from the north bank of the river. Near Campville, the highway serves as the northern terminus of NY-962J, one of four typically unsigned state reference routes that are erroneously signed as touring routes. The route is a connector between Campville and Apalachin over the Susquehanna River that was opened in 2001. Locals call it the "Millennium Bridge"
After passing through Campville, the highway crosses into Broome County, then enters Endicott as West Main Street, near the En-Joie Golf Course, former site of the PGA's annual B.C. Open until 2005. This section has been rebuilt within the last few years. The highway runs concurrently with NY-26 for a couple of blocks in the village before Route 26 continues to the south.
Between Endicott and Johnson City, NY 17C is split into one-way sections, with each serving as a frontage road for the expressway.
The divided highway comes back together just west of Johnson City and south of the Oakdale Mall. There are arches over the highway at either end of Johnson City commemorating the village's role as home to the former Endicott-Johnson Shoe Corporation.
NY 17C ends at Route 11 in Binghamton, just west of the Chenango River.
