New York State Route 275 (NY 275) is a north–south state highway in Allegany County, New York, United States. It connects the village of Bolivar and NY 417 at its southern end with the hamlet of Friendship to the north, where it intersects the Southern Tier Expressway (NY 17 and Interstate 86). The road continues north past the interchange to NY 19 in Belfast as County Route 17.

Route description

NY 275 begins at an intersection with NY 417 in the village of Bolivar. The route heads northeastward through the adjacent village of Richburg and the town of Wirt to a mountain pass known as the East Notch. Here, the route turns to follow a more northerly alignment for about 2 miles (3.2 km) before curving northwesterly to serve Nile, a hamlet in the town of Friendship. Past Nile, the route heads due north to the hamlet of Friendship, where it ends at an interchange with the Southern Tier Expressway (NY 17 and Interstate 86).

History

NY 275 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to the portion of its modern alignment between the village of Bolivar and the hamlet of Friendship. At the time, NY 275's northern terminus was at its intersection with West Main Street (now County Route 20) in Friendship, then part of NY 63^[1] and later NY 408. In the early 1970s, the portion of the Southern Tier Expressway near Friendship was completed and opened to traffic.^[3][4] However, NY 275 continued to end at NY 408 in Friendship until the mid-1970s when NY 408 was truncated to Nunda. As a result, NY 275 was extended a short distance northward to meet the Southern Tier Expressway at exit 29.^[5][6]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Allegany County.
