New York State Route 143 (NY 143) is a state highway in New York. The highway runs from the town of Westerlo to the hamlet of Coeymans. Located entirely in Albany County, NY 143 is a two-lane highway its entire length.

Route description

Eastern terminus of NY 143

NY 143 begins in the Albany County town of Westerlo at NY 85, heading southward to the hamlet of the same name. From there it turns eastward, eventually reaching NY 32. The two highways run concurrent for 2.3 miles (3.7 km), crossing a causeway of the Alcove Reservoir, before splitting. NY 143 continues southeastward, running by the same reservoir. Reaching the Alcove hamlet, NY 143 then heads eastward.

From here, the route is winding and narrow, with little or no shoulders. Eventually, it assumes the name Martins Hill Road and heads downward to NY 9W and the village of Ravena. Crossing US 9W as Main Street, it passes under the Thruway, becoming Church Street in the hamlet of Coeymans and ending at NY 144 just shy of the Hudson River.

History

NY 143 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York and has not been altered since.^[1]
