[edit] Route description
NY 170 begins as East Monroe Street in the city of Little Falls, at its intersection with North Ann and West Monroe Streets, which carry NY 169. The route initially heads in an easterly direction along the northern edge of Little Falls. After about 0.5 miles (0.80 km), NY 170 turns northward and climbs a steep hill before passing the municipal golf course and leaving the city. Now in the town of Fairfield, NY 170 intersects its spur route, NY 170A, before terminating at a junction with NY 29. An erroneous "north NY 170" assembly is present on NY 169 northbound as it leaves its concurrency with NY 5 and NY 167 in downtown Little Falls.
[edit] History
The entirety of NY 170 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York.[2] An alternate route of NY 170 through the town of Fairfield was designated as NY 170A by 1935.[3]
[edit] NY 170A
NY 170A (2.95 miles (4.75 km)[1]) is a short spur connecting NY 170 to the hamlet of Salisbury in Fairfield, where it ends at NY 29.
