Little Falls (city), New York
–
Little Falls is a city in Herkimer County, New York, United States. The population was 4,946 at the 2010 census, the name is derived from a small cataract near the city. The city is built on both sides of the Mohawk River, at a point at which rapids had impeded travel upriver, transportation through the valley was improved by construction of the Erie Canal, completed in 1825 and connecting the Great Lakes with the Hudson River. The city of Little Falls is located at the corner of the Town of Little Falls and is east of Utica. Little Falls has a location on the slope of a narrow and rocky defile, flowing through which the river falls 45 feet in less than a mile. Little Falls was first settled by Europeans around 1723, when German Palatines were granted land under the Burnetsfield Patent and it was then the westernmost European settlement in the colony of New York. The need to portage around the falls promoted a trading location on the site of the future city and it was the first settlement in the town. The settlers were attacked during the French and Indian War, the small settlement here was destroyed by Iroquois Indians, mostly Mohawk, and Tories in June 1782. The village was not resettled until 1790, and it was known at times as Rockton, Little Falls was incorporated as a village in 1811, and reincorporated in 1827.

Interstate 90 in New York
–
Interstate 90 is a part of the Interstate Highway System that runs from Seattle, Washington, to Boston, Massachusetts. Although most of the route is part of the tolled New York State Thruway, within New York, I-90 has a complete set of auxiliary Interstates, which means that there are interstates numbered I-190 through I-990 in the state, with no gaps in between. For most of its length in New York, I-90 runs parallel to the former Erie Canal route, New York State Route 5, U. S. Route 20, I-90 was assigned in 1957 as part of the establishment of the Interstate Highway System. Ultimately, the freeway was built from the Thruway mainline in Albany to the Berkshire Connector in Schodack, the Albany–Schodack freeway was completed in stages during the 1960s and 1970s and fully open by 1977. West of Albany, I-90 in New York is designated along the mainline of the New York State Thruway, two auxiliary routes, I-190 and I-290 connect with I-90 here. Both auxiliary routes provide access between I-90 and Canadas largest city, Toronto, East of Erie County, the Thruway turns east and passes through the suburbs of several major cities in Upstate New York, generally following the path of the Erie Canal. It passes south of Rochester and north of Syracuse, which are served by three auxiliary Interstate Highways, I-490 and I-390 connect to Rochester, while I-690 leads to Syracuse. The speed limit, enforced by the New York State Police, is 65 miles per hour along most of this stretch. It rejoins I-90 in Albany County, where I-90 leaves the mainline of the Thruway at exit 24 in Albany, here, the route designation of the Thruway changes from I-90 east to I-87 south. Traffic intending to continue on I-90 or reach I-87 north must exit the Thruway here, Exit numbers and mile markers for I-90 reset after exiting. Now a toll-free highway, I-90 and I-87 continue to exits 1N and 1S, located off exit 1S and Fuller Road Alternate, a spur of the Northway leading to Western Avenue, is the Crossgates Mall in Guilderland. I-90 proceeds eastward, meeting Washington Avenue at an interchange connecting to UAlbany, I-90 subsequently crosses over NY5 and passes north of Westgate Plaza as it connects to Everett Road. The freeway continues along the edge of Albany to exit 5A. After that project was cancelled, it was repurposed as an exit for Corporate Woods Boulevard, East of exit 5A, I-90 passes by slightly more residential areas ahead of a stack interchange with US91 mile north of downtown Albany. Albany Memorial Hospital is located just north of the exit on US9, not far to the east of US9 is a second stack interchange, connecting I-90 to I-787 in the industrial northeasternmost section of the city of Albany. At this point, I-90 turns to the southeast and follows the Patroon Island Bridge over the Hudson River, across the river, I-90 becomes the Rensselaer County Veterans Memorial Highway and passes through much less developed areas. South of NY43, I-90 and US4 follow parallel routings into East Greenbush, the freeway and the overlapping U. S. Routes follow similar routings to Schodack Center, at which point I-90 finally connects to US9 and US20 at exits 11E, I-90 heads due south from this point, passing over NY150 and paralleling US9, which splits from US20 at Schodack Center

New York State Thruway
–
The New York State Thruway is a system of limited-access highways located within the state of New York in the United States. The tolled mainline of the Thruway extends for 496.00 miles from the New York City line at Yonkers to the Pennsylvania state line at Ripley by way of Albany, Syracuse, and Buffalo. According to the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association, the Thruway is the fifth busiest toll road in the United States, a tolled highway connecting the major cities of New York was first proposed as early as the 1940s. The first section of the Thruway, between Utica and Rochester, opened on June 24,1954, the remainder of the mainline and many of its spurs connecting to highways in other states and provinces were built in the 1950s. When the Interstate Highway System was created in 1957, much of the Thruway system was included as portions of Interstate 87, I-90, other segments became part of I-190 and I-287 shortly afterward. The portion of I-84 in New York was part of the Thruway system from 1991 to 2010, the Thruway utilizes both open tolling and closed tolling. Tickets are used on the Thruway mainline between Harriman and the suburbs of Buffalo and from the southern suburbs of Buffalo to the Pennsylvania state line. The Berkshire Connector also utilizes a ticket-based tolling system, the portion of the mainline south of Harriman, the New England Thruway, and the Niagara Thruway have open tolling systems, with all three highways containing at least one toll barrier. The last two components—the Garden State Parkway Connector and the Cross-Westchester Expressway—and the section of the mainline in, together, the highways extend for 569.83 miles, making the Thruway system one of the largest toll highway systems in the United States. The longest of the six components is the 496-mile mainline, of the 570 miles in the Thruway system,560.85 miles carries at least one Interstate Highway designation. They are designated as New York State Route 982L, NY 912M, the speed limit, enforced by the New York State Police, is 65 miles per hour along most of the Thruway. I-90, which comprises the bulk of the mainline and the Berkshire Connector, I-87 comprises the remaining 148.15 miles of the mainline, including an 18. 86-mile concurrency with I-287 north of New York City. I-287 covers another 29.76 miles, while I-190 spans 21.24 miles, all highways maintained by the New York State Thruway Authority lack the reference markers that exist on all New York State Department of Transportation-maintained roads, as would be expected. In their place, NYSTA-controlled roadways use small, square tenth-mile markers with a white background and blue numbering. The mainline of the Thruway begins, both in terms of numbers and mileposts, at the boundary between the New York City borough of the Bronx and the Westchester County city of Yonkers. Here, I-87 changes from the Major Deegan Expressway to the Thruway as the mainline proceeds northward through Yonkers and it connects with Central Park Avenue at exit 1, the first of 12 exits within the county. The first few exits serve various local streets, with exit 2 providing access to Yonkers Raceway, the Hutchinson River and Bronx River parkways leave to the northeast midway through Yonkers, while the Saw Mill and Sprain Brook parkways follow the Thruway out of the city. All three highways take generally parallel tracks to Elmsford, where I-87 directly intersects the Saw Mill River Parkway at exit 7A, not far to the north is exit 8, a semi-directional T interchange with I-287

New York State Route 5
–
New York State Route 5 is a state highway that extends for 370.80 miles across the state of New York in the United States. S. Route 9, here routed along the roads for Interstate 787. Prior to the construction of the New York State Thruway, it was one of two main east–west highways traversing upstate New York, the other being US20, West of New York, NY5 continues as Pennsylvania Route 5 to Erie. NY5 overlaps with US20 twice along its routing, the second, a 68-mile overlap through western and central New York, is the second-longest concurrency in the state, stretching from Avon east to the city of Auburn in Cayuga County. The concurrency is known locally as Routes 5 and 20, as the route proceeds across the state, it also directly or indirectly meets every major north–south highway in upstate New York, including all three north–south Interstate Highways. NY5 was assigned in 1924 as a true cross-state highway, extending from the Pennsylvania state line in the west to the Massachusetts state line in the east, at the time, modern NY5 between Buffalo and Albany was designated as New York State Route 5A. By 1926, NY5 was moved onto the routing of NY 5A while the old routing of NY5 became NY7. It was truncated in 1927 to Athol Springs in the west and Albany in the east following the assignment of US20, and again in 1930 to downtown Buffalo. NY5 was reextended to the Pennsylvania state line c. 1932 by way of its old routing to Athol Springs, an old alignment of US20, only local realignments have occurred since. Although it is no commonly used for long distance travel. NY5 is named Main Street in Buffalo, Erie Boulevard and West Genesee Street in Syracuse, State Street in Schenectady, and Central Avenue in Albany and it is a major local road in many other locations along its path. NY5 runs concurrent to US20 twice between its endpoints, for three miles between Silver Creek and Irving and for 68 miles across western and central New York. At 67.6 miles in length, the overlap between US20 and NY5 is the longest surface-road concurrency in New York state, behind only the concurrency of I-86. Maintenance of the majority of NY 5s 371 miles is performed by the New York State Department of Transportation, however, locally owned and maintained sections exist in six cities. At the New York–Pennsylvania border in Ripley, PA5 becomes NY5 upon entering New York and it very closely follows the shore of Lake Erie through all of Chautauqua County. Once reaching the village of Silver Creek it briefly overlaps US20 until entering Erie County at the Cattaraugus Reservation, once in Erie County it pulls slightly inward from the lake shore from Brant to the hamlet of Wanakah. Near the northern edge of the city, NY5 begins to ascend onto an elevated roadway as it connects to Ridge Road, here, the route becomes the Buffalo Skyway, a limited-access highway with exits for Ohio and Tifft streets and Fuhrmann Boulevard. After a quarter-mile, NY5 passes seamlessly into the city of Buffalo, a short distance past the city line, NY5 passes over the Union Ship Canal on a span of the elevated road known as the Father Baker Bridge

New York State Route 167
–
New York State Route 167 is a north–south state highway in the Mohawk Valley region of New York in the United States. It extends for 26.17 miles from an intersection with U. S. Route 20 in the Otsego County village of Richfield Springs to a junction with NY29 in the Herkimer County village of Dolgeville. Midway between the two endpoints, NY167 passes through the city of Little Falls, where it meets NY5 and indirectly connects to the New York State Thruway by way of NY169. Most of NY167 is a rural highway, however, in Little Falls. The piece of NY167 between Richfield Springs and Paines Hollow, a hamlet southwest of Little Falls, was originally part of an unsigned legislative route in the early 20th century. Farther north, the segment between Little Falls and Dolgeville was added to the route system in 1910. NY 28s former routing between Richfield Springs and Paines Hollow became part of the new NY167, which continued north through Little Falls to Dolgeville as it does today. NY167 begins at an intersection with US20 near the tip of Canadarago Lake in the village of Richfield Springs. Past Cullen, NY167 makes a bend to the northeast. Here, the highway intersects with Jordanville Road, an east–west two-lane road that NY167 briefly follows as it runs through the community, a short distance east of Jordanville, NY167 splits from Jordanville Road to head northeast as a two-lane rural road. After leaving Paines Hollow, NY167 continues northeast into the town of Little Falls, the route remains rural through the town, intersecting with Johnny Cake and Oregon roads as it winds to the northeast. Just under 2 miles from Paines Hollow, the highway curves to the southeast ahead of a hairpin turn that leads northward to a junction with Newville Road. NY167 heads generally northward through Little Falls, veering to the east and west at various points as it traverses the town, about 3 miles south of the city of Little Falls, the highway passes under the New York State Thruway with no connection to the road. After the Thruway overpass, NY167 heads into an area surrounding its junction with NY 5S. The two routes briefly overlap before NY167 turns north into a populated, mostly wooded area along the southern bank of the Mohawk River. NY167 follows the river into a section of the city of Little Falls. North of the river, the passes over NY5 before intersecting Albany Street just west of downtown Little Falls. Albany Street is the half of a one-way couplet with nearby Main Street, as a result

New York State Route 28
–
New York State Route 28 is a state highway extending for 281.69 miles in the shape of a C between the Hudson Valley city of Kingston and southern Warren County in the U. S. state of New York. Along the way, it intersects several major routes, including Interstate 88, U. S. Route 20, the southern terminus of NY28 is at NY32 in Kingston and the northern terminus is at US9 in Warrensburg. In Kingston, NY28 is co-designated as Interstate 587 from its terminus at NY32 to the roundabout linking it to the Thruway. NY28 was originally assigned in 1924 to an alignment extending from Colliersville in the south to Utica in the north via Ilion. From Colliersville to Cooperstown, the highway followed its current routing, north of Cooperstown, the route was extended south to Kingston and north to Warrensburg as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. At the same time, NY28 was realigned between Cooperstown and Mohawk to follow its modern routing, other than minor realignments in Kingston, Oneonta, and Oneida County, NY28 has remained the same to this day. NY 28s southern terminus is with NY32 in the city of Kingston, the route heads north, then northwest on Colonel Chandler Drive, a four-lane limited-access highway. The roadway is designated and signed as I-587, which begins at NY32 as well. Although Colonel Chandler Drive is built to Interstate Highway standards, it has no intermediary interchanges, after crossing over the Esopus Creek into Ulster, I-587 terminates at a roundabout that links I-587 and NY28 to the New York State Thruway at exit 19. West of I-87, the crosses the Blue Line of Catskill Park. Not long afterward, the highway meets US209 by way of a cloverleaf interchange, past US209, the highway enters a rural area as it heads northwest into the center of the state park. Near the eastern tip of the Ashokan Reservoir, in the town of Kingston, West of NY 28A, NY28 continues towards the north and west along the northern edge of the reservoir. In West Hurley, the route intersects the terminus of NY375. It proceeds along the reservoir to its end in the town of Olive community of Boiceville. At Phoenicia, the largest settlement since Kingston, NY214 reaches its terminus at the highway. Past Phoenicia, the slopes become steeper as the road and creek curve around Panther Mountain, one of the Catskill High Peaks. At Allaben, the Shandaken Tunnel crosses under the road, bringing water from Schoharie Reservoir into the creek. The road and creek start bending to the south to the hamlet of Shandaken, as NY28 continues trending southwest, the valley becomes less developed
