New York State Route 136 (NY 136) is a state highway within the town of North Greenbush in Rensselaer County, New York, in the United States. It begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 4 (US 4) just south of Troy and ends at a junction with NY 150 in the hamlet of Wynantskill. NY 136 provides access to the La Salle Institute and Joe Bruno Stadium at Hudson Valley Community College. Across from NY 136 is Glenmore Road (County Route 76 or CR 76), which provides access to the Headquarters for the 42nd Infantry (Rainbow) Division of the New York Army National Guard.

History

NY 136 was assigned ca. 1938; however, it consisted only of the portion of the route on Whiteview Road between Winter Street Extension (at the time part of NY 40) and NY 150 upon assignment.^[1][2] On April 1, 1980, ownership and maintenance of Williams Road^[4] (CR 70),^[5] a local east–west highway linking US 4 to Winter Street Extension, was transferred from Rensselaer County to the state of New York as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government.^[4] The new state highway became a westward extension of NY 136.^[6] In between Williams Road and Whiteview Road, NY 136 initially used a small portion of Winter Street Extension,^[7] which had been NY 405 prior to the swap.^[8] The junction between NY 136 and Winter Street Extension has since been reconfigured to directly connect Williams and Whiteview Roads.^[9]

Major intersections

The entire route is in North Greenbush, Rensselaer County.
