NY 5 West shield and TO I-90/NY Thruway trailblazer, each located on NY 5 West in advance of the I-290 overpass, and the divergence of the entrance ramp onto I-290 East. NY 5 meets I-290 less than 1 mile from I-290's Eastern Terminus at I-90. Thus, the signage for the ramp only denotes I-90/NY Thruway.

City of Batavia
View looking easterly along NY 5/NY 33 through the Bank St./Center St. intersection. Notice once again that historic buildings only line the southern portion of NY 5, suggesting once again that the northern block was demolished in favor of a five-lane roadway. To Batavia's credit, though, it seems to have quite a nice and lively downtown area.

View of NY 5 East from the eastern edges of Batavia. Scott noted it was a bit of a surprise to see that the stretch of NY 5 between Batavia and Le Roy was not entirely four lanes.

Vilage of Le Roy
Scene of NY 5 East through downtown Le Roy. It looks to like the southern half of Le Roy's main street was leveled in favor of a widened highway and parkland. This type of "urban renewal" was popular in the 1950s and 1960s in Robert Moses' New York.

Junction assembly for the NY 19 intersection on NY 5 East in downtown Le Roy. As is noted frequently in the photo commentaries found throughout this site, the scale of junction assemblies (such as this one) found throughout New York State are rather astounding.

City of Geneva
View looking westerly along US 20/NY 5 from the NY 14 overpass in Geneva. Access between US 20/NY 5 and NY 14 is provided via a pair of connector roads just west of the overpass, one between US 20/NY 5 West and NY 14, and one between US 20/NY 5 East and NY 14. West of here, US 20/NY 5 maintains a five-lane cross-section through the NY 14A/NY 245 intersection.

Easterly view of US 20/NY 5 from NY 14. Seneca Lake provides a spectacular backdrop for this photo. After passing beneath NY 14, US 20/NY 5 crosses over a railroad line, and curves to the northeast to round the north side of the lake as a four-lane highway.

This
menagerie of trailblazers for I-90/New York Thruway, NY 414, US 20 and
NY 5 appears on WB River Rd. in advance of the three-way stop
intersection with a road that crosses the Seneca-Cayuga Canal via the
Water Falls Bridge, then promptly meets US 20/NY 5 and NY 414 at the
western junction of the three routes between Waterloo and Seneca Falls.
As US 20/NY 5 follows the Seneca-Cayuga Canal on the north side, River
Rd. straddles the southern banks of the canal on the south side.

Sign
truss on NY 5 East, in place after the left merge of the two-lane ramp
from NY 695 South to NY 5 East, and featuring a warning sign announcing
the end of the freeway stretch of NY 5 through the western suburbs of
Syracuse in 0.5 mile. Note that, instead of "Freeway Ends," the
sign says "Highway Ends." The freeway actually terminates at a
signalized intersection with Genesee St., where NY 5 East turns left,
and follows EB Genesee St. through Solvay and into Syracuse.
