New York State Route 35 is the principal east-west highway in the northern part of Westchester County, New York. Its western terminus is at US 9 in Peekskill, while its eastern terminus is at the Connecticut state line in Lewisboro, where it becomes Connecticut Route 35.

Route description

NY 35 begins in the city of Peekskill at the point where US 6 and US 202 leave US 9 near the upper end of the Croton Expressway. NY 35 travels east on Main Street (which also begins at that interchange), concurrent with both 6 and 202. US 202 and 35 depart from US 6 and turn onto South Division Street, then Crompond Road. The road within Peekskill is maintained by Westchester County.

Communities

East of Peekskill, NY 35 and US 202 travel along the unfinished section of the Bear Mountain State Parkway, and, in a way, connect them. The routes meet the Taconic State Parkway at a newly widened diamond interchange which immediately precedes the southern terminus of New York State Route 132. In downtown Yorktown, 35 and 202 turn north onto Saw Mill River Road, picking up NY 118 .

Shortly after Saw Mill River Road crosses into the town of Somers, Saw Mill River Road becomes Amawalk Road. NY 118 and US 202 depart 35 as they head north onto Tomahawk Street, while 35 heads east. After meeting NY 100 at the Pepsi Cola plant, the road name changes to Woods Bridge Road. In Katonah the road name changes to Cross River Road. Immediately after, there is an interchange with Interstate 684 and the Saw Mill River Parkway. Shortly thereafter is an intersection with NY 22.

In Cross River, 35 forms a short concurrency with NY 121, then meets with NY 124 and NY 123 in South Salem. At the New York/Connecticut state line (Westchester/Fairfield counties), NY 35 continues into Connecticut as Route 35, which connects with U.S. Route 7.

History

Modern NY 35 in Westchester County was established by 1942.[2] The number 35 had previously been used for three other routes elsewhere in the state. Prior to 1930, the east-west road connecting Peekskill to Ridgefield, Connecticut was unnumbered.[3] In the 1930 state highway renumbering, two sections of the modern route were first assigned state route designations. The section between NY 22 in the hamlet of Cross River and modern NY 123 was then signed as part of NY 123.[4] Another section between modern NY 132 and NY 22 in Katonah was then a part of NY 132.[4] In 1934, US 202 was created and routed along the unbuilt Bear Mountain Parkway corridor and a portion of NY 132 before turning north along NY 118.[5] By 1942, NY 132 and NY 123 were truncated to their current termini, while a new designation, NY 35, was assigned for the primary east-west corridor in Upper Westchester County.[2] The western terminus of NY 35 was set at US 9 in Peekskill, creating a long overlap with US 202 that still exists today. The number 35 was chosen to match the existing route number in Connecticut.[6] In the 1950s, several plans to build an expressway along the NY 35 were studied, but none of these plans were built.[7]
