Route description

Schenectady County

Route 50 begins in Scotia at the intersection of NY 5 and winds its way through the village and into Glenville. NY 50 travels past the Stratton Air National Guard Base, home to the 109th Airlift Wing.

Saratoga County

NY 50 enters Saratoga County in Burnt Hills and winds its way through the countryside, running into NY 67 into Ballston Spa, with which it runs concurrent for just under a mile.
On its way to Saratoga Springs, NY 50 passes the Saratoga Performing Arts Center and the Saratoga Spa State Park. It then meets up with US 9 and forms a brief three-way concurrency with NY 29 at the corner of Broadway and Washington Avenue. About a quarter-mile later, NY 29 becomes Lake Avenue and heads towards Schuylerville. The southern terminus of NY 9N is also at this point, known as Church Street within city limits. The 9/50 concurrency goes another 1¼ miles before the former splits off and goes towards Glens Falls. From Broadway and Van Dam Street to Interstate 87, NY 50 is known as either the C.V. Whitney Memorial Highway or, more informally, "The Arterial".
After passing Interstate 87 and making its way through the Town of Wilton, NY 50 cuts through the countryside, ultimately reaching its end in Gansevoort at the intersection of NY 32.
