New York State Route 162 (NY 162) is a state highway in eastern New York in the United States. It runs from an intersection with U.S. Route 20 (US 20) in the Schoharie County town of Esperance to an interchange with NY 5S in the Montgomery County town of Root, west of the village of Canajoharie. The southernmost of the route are concurrent with NY 30A, which continues south of NY 162's intersection with US 20. NY 162 is a two-lane highway for all of its length, although its final has a climbing lane southbound as it leaves the Mohawk Valley over the Sprakers Gorge. The route was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York and realigned slightly in the late 1960s to bypass an accident-prone stretch near its northern terminus. ==Route description== NY 162 begins at an intersection with US 20 and NY 30A in Sloansville, a hamlet within the town of Esperance. The route proceeds northward, overlapping with NY 30A as the two-lane highway passes through residential areas of the town. After leaving Sloansville, NY 162 and NY 30A turn northwestward into a Y intersection that marks the north end of the overlap. While NY 30A continues north, NY 162 bends northwest to a nearby junction with the western terminus of County Route 35 (CR 35, named Shun Pike Road). For a short distance from CR 35, NY 162 proceeds westward through Esperance, turning northwest at a junction with Sprakers Road. Now a two-lane rural roadway, the route enters the town of Carlisle, running near the base of Corbin Hill. The highway continues northwest through Carlisle before crossing the line into Montgomery County from Schoharie County. After crossing into Montgomery County, NY 162 crosses into the town of Charleston, bending northwest through the town. The scenery in Charlestown does not change from where it was in Carlisle, as NY 162 remains a two-lane rural road. A short distance later, NY 162 enters the hamlet of Charleston Four Corners, where it intersects with Corbin Hill Road (CR 104), East Lykers Road (CR 103) and Charleston Street (CR 134). NY 162 continues northwest out of Charleston Four Corners, remaining a two-lane road as it crosses into the town of Root.〔 In Root, NY 162 intersects with South Green Road (CR 126), before turning north past several farmhouses. Bending northwest once again, NY 162 bypasses the hamlet of Rural Grove, intersecting with the southern and northern termini of Rural Grove Road (CR 125). Just to the northwest of Rural Grove, the route intersects with the northern terminus of Lynk Street (CR 99) before entering the rural hamlet of Currytown. In Currytown, there is a junction with Currytown Road (CR 105) while NY 162 passes several residences on both sides of the highway. At the western end of Currytown, the route intersects with Flat Creek Road (CR 98), where it turns northwest through the town of Root.〔 NY 162 continues northwest through Root, intersecting with Hilltop Road (CR 96) and Sprakers Hill Road (CR 108). Now with the moniker of Sloansville Road, NY 162 enters the hamlet of Sprakers, where it crosses a tributary of the Mohawk River. The route continues to the community's western edge, where NY 162 ends at an interchange with NY 5S just south of the New York State Thruway (I-90). NY 162 northbound merges with westbound NY 5S, and a U-turn lane just west of the merge also provides access to NY 5S east.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New York State Route 162」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
