Route description
NY 411 begins at an intersection with NY 180 in the hamlet of La Fargeville within the town of Orleans. NY 411 heads to the northeast for a short distance, passing residential homes and local businesses. The highway heads out of La Fargeville as Plank Road and passing through fields and farmland. NY 411 gradually turns to the southeast and enters the hamlet of Orleans. Outside of Orleans, the route heads east to an interchange with Interstate 81 at exit 49. Past I-81, NY 411 heads northeast into the town of Theresa, where it terminates at a junction with NY 26 and NY 37.[3]
History
NY 411 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to a highway connecting NY 26 in the village of Theresa to U.S. Route 11 in the village of Philadelphia. Farther west, a highway linking the villages of Clayton (at NY 12) at and Theresa (NY 37) via the hamlet of La Fargeville was designated as NY 181.[1] The NY 181 designation was short-lived as it was removed ca. 1939.[4][5]
In the mid-1960s, the portion of Interstate 81 north of Watertown opened to traffic. One of the interchanges along the new highway was located east of La Fargeville, where I-81 met NY 181's former routing. As a result, NY 411 was extended westward to La Fargeville over NY 181's former alignment. NY 411 became concurrent with NY 26 through Theresa and with NY 37 west of the village as part of the extension.[6][7] NY 26 was truncated to West Carthage in the mid-1970s. Its former routing from Antwerp to Alexandria Bay was then redesignated as NY 283.[8][9]
NY 411 remained unchanged until August 1, 1979, when ownership and maintenance of several highways in Jefferson County was transferred from Jefferson County to the state of New York and vice versa. As part of the swap, maintenance of NY 283's alignment west of Theresa and from Theresa to Antwerp was given to Jefferson County from the state in exchange for Lafargeville Road southwest of Theresa, among other highways.[9][10] Following the swap, NY 26 was reextended north to Alexandria Bay; however, since its former alignment east of Theresa was now a county road, it was routed on the portion of NY 411 from Philadelphia to Theresa instead. As a result, NY 411 was truncated to the southern terminus of its overlap with NY 37 southwest of Theresa.[11]
