New York State Route 399 (NY 399) was a state highway located within the town of Johnstown in Fulton County, New York, United States. It served as a connector between NY 29 in the hamlet of Cork and NY 29A in the hamlet of Meco. The route was assigned in the early 1930s and removed by the early 1960s.

Route description

History

NY 399 was assigned ca. 1933 and initially extended from NY 29 in Cork to NY 29A (modern Peck Road) west of Meco.^[1][2] It was extended slightly ca. 1940 after NY 29A was realigned to bypass Meco to the north.^[4][5] The NY 399 designation remained unchanged up through the late 1950s^[6] to the early 1960s, when it was removed.^[3] Part of NY 399's former routing on Sweet Road was physically removed by 1970, severing the Cork–Meco through route.^[7]

On April 1, 1980, ownership and maintenance of old NY 399 between North Bush Road (County Route 131) and Peck Road was transferred from the state of New York to Fulton County as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government. Following the swap, the highway became part of CR 101,^[8] which had already been designated along NY 399's former alignment between Peck Road and NY 29A.^{[citation needed]} The remainder of NY 399's intact routing is now maintained by the town of Johnstown.^[8]

Major intersections

The entire route was in Johnstown, Fulton County.
