Warren County's location within New York State

The list of highways in Warren County, New York is a list of all county and state highways located in Warren County, New York. These roads account for about 470 miles (760 km) of the highway system in New York.[1] Most roads within the county are short connectors, while others are sections of 30-mile (48 km) long highways. There is one interstate highway in Warren County, Interstate 87, also known as the Adirondack Northway. There is one U.S. Highway, U.S. Route 9 and eight state-numbered signed touring routes in the county, the longest being NY 9N. There are three other state-maintained reference routes in the county, the longest being NY 917A, which is known as the Prospect Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway. Additionally, there are 79 county-maintained routes, most of which are short connectors between more major roads.

The longest state route is the span of Touring Route 9N, spaning 48.58 miles (78.18 km) in the county alone.[2] The shortest state route is Reference Route 911E, which is only 0.2 miles (0.32 km) long.[2] These roads supply some of the major municipalities in Warren County, including the city of Glens Falls, the towns of Warrensburg and Queensbury, and the village with surrounding the large Lake George.

Highways

Interstate highways

An Interstate 87 shield

Interstate 87 is the only interstate highway to enter Warren, traveling for 38.53 miles (62.01 km) within the county, with nine interchanges along the way.[2] Exits off the highway serve Glens Falls, Queensbury, Warrensburg, Lake George, Bolton Landing, and Chestertown. The highway once terminated in downtown Lake George, with its former two-lane end becoming NY 912Q after the highway was extended northward.[3]

U.S. highways

There have been three U.S. highways in Warren County. The longest—and the only current one—is U.S. Route 9, which spans for over 40.43 miles (65.07 km) within the couty. The route was numbered in 1926 as Route 9E, however this designation was changed by 1930. Since its designation in 1926, US 9 services the city of Glens Falls, Queensbury, the village of Lake George, Warrensburg and Chestertown before leaving for Essex County. Route 9 has had four suffixed routes once in the county, although only two still exist.[4][5]

U.S. Route 4 and U.S. Route 9W once terminated in Glens Falls at Route 9. Route 4 changed alignments to begin in the Capital District, and Route 9W now ends in Albany.[6][7][8]

Scenic byways

There are 13 scenic byways in the Adirondacks alone, three of them in Warren County. The first is the Roosevelt-Marcy Trail, which runs on Route 28N. The second is the Dude Ranch Trail, a loop in Warren and nearby Saratoga counties, and the third is the Central Adirondack Trail, which makes up NY 9L, US 9 and NY 28.[9][10][11]

State touring routes

There have been at least 13 state signed touring routes in Warren County. Touring routes are signed as normal routes, not like reference routes which are only signed on reference markers. However, only 10 of them remain, as Routes 9M, 9K, and 32B have been redesignated as other routes.[12][13][14][15] The other routes, however, are still in existence, with the shortest being Route 418 in Warrensburg and the longest being New York State Route 9N, which serves much of Lake George. The other routes include NY 8, which spans the northern part of the county, NY 9L, a small suffixed route of US 9, NY 149, a connector from Interstate 87 to the Vermont border in Warren and nearby Washington Counties.[8]

The others include NY 254, which is a short connector to Washington County from I-87, NY 32, which goes through Glens Falls and terminates just outside the county, NY 28, which terminates in Warren County and its suffixed route, NY 28N, which begins in the western part of the county.[8]

State reference routes

There are three state-maintained reference routes in Warren County. A reference route is a road owned by the state but are not signed like normal touring routes. The three include Route 911E (a connector from NY 32 to NY 254), NY 912Q, which is Exit 22 off Interstate 87 and is a two lane freeway spur.[16][3] Route 917A is the final reference route, and the longest, going up Prospect Mountain as the Prospect Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway. Route 911E however, is reserved to become a signed touring route as New York State Route 656, but a date for this has not yet been released.[8]

County-maintained roads

CR marker

There are 79 county-maintained roads in Warren County. Most are short connectors between major roadways, although a few are former state roads. A few examples are Routes 64, 32, and 30, all were part of NY 9M at one time and County Route 79 was NY 32 until 1980. There are a few that have their designation used twice. An example is CR 11, which begins at the Northway (I-87) in Chestertown, but splits into two after Riverbank. Warren County Routes are not signed like normal touring routes, but as tab–like signs on the back of poles. There is one exception, as CR 23 is signed as a normal county route would.[17]
