About New York State Route 174 in brief
New York State Route 174 is a state highway in Onondaga County, located in Central New York, in the United States. The highway is 16. 7 miles long and passes through mostly rural regions. It is located along a large mapped sedimentary bedrock unit, known as the Marcellus Formation. The road was first constructed in the early 19th century following the path of Nine Mile Creek. The northern half of the route was later improved as a plank road in 1855 by a private corporation that collected tolls from travelers on the road. The state took over the maintenance of the road by the beginning of the 20th century. The former plank road and an extension south to Otisco Lake and southwest to Skaneateles Lake was first designated as Route 174 in the 1930 state highway renumbering. It ends at a junction with NY 5 west of Camillus, at the west end of the Route 5 Camillus bypass.
The formation is named for an outcrop found near the town of Mar cellus during a geological survey in 1839. At the beginning century, travel along the Nine Mile creek was very difficult and most travel between Mar Cellus and the Creek was authorized by the New York State Legislature in 1831. In 1794, an old trail running east–west and the north–south and the west–south along the creek was established. The current route of NY 174 was established in the late 19th century. It was designated as a state road in 1930, but has since been realigned to accommodate newly built bypasses in the villages of MarcellUS and Camillus. It begins at an intersection with NY 41 in Borodino, a hamlet of Spafford, on the shores of Skaneates Lake.
