New York State Highway 17, also known as the Southern Tier Expressway, runs from Suffern, New York (where it connects to NJ 17) to the Pennsylvania border in Western New York where it connects to Interstate 86. NY 17 is gradually being resigned as Interstate 86 as part of an upgrade to the route, replacing at-grade intersections and bringing the road up to Interstate standards. North and west of Harriman, New York, at its intersection with Interstate 87 and U.S. Highway 6, NY 17 is informally known as the 'Quickway,' connecting the New York City metropolitan area with the southern-tier and Pennsylvania.

History

The original NY 17 was a two-lane local route built in the late 1920s. Unlike the modern road, it veered northwest to the village of Westfield along Lake Erie. Part of that route now exists as NY 394 and NY 430. Lake Erie, looking southward from a high rural bluff near Leamington, Ontario Lake Erie (pronounced ) is one of the five large freshwater Great Lakes in North America, which are among the largest in the world. ...

The explosive growth of the tourism industry in the Catskill Mountains region, which began in the 1930s and intensified after World War II, stretched the rural road to its limits. Scores of hotels, resorts and bungalow colonies attracted hundreds of thousands of vacationing New Yorkers, whose cars left NY 17 hopelessly jammed in summer. As well, the tight turns and steep inclines along the route led to numerous fatal crashes.

In response, New York State officials planned a four-lane replacement, the first free long-distance expressway in the state and one of the earliest in the United States. It would replace intersections with well-spaced access ramps, separate grades with flyovers, and allow safe travel at up to 65 miles per hour.

Construction of the NY 17 freeway began in 1949 near the Hudson Valley town of Goshen, and the road was extended in stages over the next two decades. A section of the highway through Sullivan and Delaware counties, was built over the defunct Ontario & Western Railway access. By 1969, a 130-mile route provided nonstop access between Harriman and Binghamton, from the New York State Thruway (Interstate 87) to Interstate 81. Despite flaws in the highway's design — it included a grade-level railroad crossing near Fair Oaks (since removed) and two stretches with intersections and driveway access — the so-called "Quickway" succeeded in easing travel through southern New York, cutting the driving time in half and the accident rate by 70 percent.

During the 1970s, New York State extended the NY 17 freeway westward along a new alignment, which took the route into western Pennsylvania to intersect with Interstate 90 outside the city of Erie. The extension, formally known as the Southern Tier Expressway, was completed in 1988. Like its eastern counterpart, it was not originally a fully limited-access route; it included at-grade segments in Horseheads and Corning, while the westernmost leg was a divided two-lane road (called a "super-2"). This narrow segment was widened to four lanes in 1998. Interstate 90 (abbreviated I-90) is the longest interstate highway in the United States at over 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers). ...

When completed, the revamped NY 17 provided a valuable "inside route" for truckers and vacationers alike. It now serves as a time-saving, non-toll shortcut past the Thruway for motorists going from the New York City area to Ohio and points west. (In fact, the Thruway's governing authority initially opposed the highway's construction, fearing the loss of toll revenue on its own route from motorists shunpiking via the free alternate route.)

The road's Interstate future

In 1998, the U.S. federal government designated the NY 17 expressway a "high-priority corridor," enabling it to receive Interstate designation and structural upgrades. New York politicians and businessmen backed the move in the hope that an efficient, high-speed roadway would inspire companies to do business in the state's economically depressed southern counties.

In December 1999, the westernmost 185 miles of NY 17 (including the short stretch in Pennsylvania, signed PA 17) were re-signed Interstate 86. This section, which extends east to Corning, was the first to receive Interstate status because it had been designed to higher standards than the older sections in the east. {{{type3}}} JUNCTIONS JUNCTION EXIT # I-90 PA 1 I-390 NY 146 (36) I-99 NY 169 (44) I-81 NY 245 NY (75) I-84 NY 362 (121) I-87 NY Legend BROWSE STATE HWYS Prev Next {{{browse}}} Interstate 86 runs from an intersection with Interstate 90 in Erie...

As of 2005, the interstate designation has been extended east to Route 14 in Horseheads and a project to raise the highway, removing at-grade intersections in that village is well under way. Horseheads Bypass project Route 14 is a state highway that enters New York in the Town of Ashland, Chemung County, and runs north to Sodus Point, Wayne County on the shore of Lake Ontario. ...

The remainder of NY 17 west of I-87 is slated to be signed I-86 in about 2012, after the remaining at-grade sections are converted to limited access. (Temporary signs mark the route as "Future Interstate 86.") In addition to the Horseheads project, recent improvements have included the removal of intersections near Elmira and east of Binghamton, as well as the widening and straightening of sections in the Hudson Valley towns of Goshen and Chester. Interstate 87 (abbreviated I-87) is a 346 mile (558 km) intrastate interstate highway located entirely within the state of New York. ...

Cost estimates for the I-86 renovation range from $550 million to $900 million.
