Route description

NY 201 begins in Vestal just north of Binghamton University at a trumpet interchange with NY 434. After passing over Old Vestal Road (southbound offramp, northbound onramp), it crosses the Susquehanna River on the C. Fred Johnson Bridge. After "flying over" the Johnson City roundabout, it passes over the Norfolk Southern Railroad as well as a number of side streets (including New York State Route 17C, with which it connects via a partial cloverleaf interchange). It ends shortly thereafter at a full cloverleaf with NY 17.

History

Prior to 2004, traffic along NY 201 emptied into a traffic circle located in Johnson City near the Susquehanna's north bank. This hazardous situation was rectified in 2004 when the size of the traffic circle was reduced to allow for a flyover to be built northwest of the circle. With the flyover in place, traffic on NY 201 can continue on the road without entering the traffic circle. The circle, which was once home to the western terminus of New York State Route 17H, is still accessible via exits from the NY 201 bypass.
