ROUTE DESCRIPTION



Route 30 and the Amsterdam Arterial

In the Montgomery County city of Amsterdam , NY 30 enters at its interchanges with the Thruway and NY 5S , heading downhill as a four-lane divided highway approaching the Mohawk River / Erie Canal . Historically, the bridge over the river was a straight line to Market Street, which is visible as one approaches northbound. Segments of downtown Market Street remain in use today. With the 1977 creation of the Amsterdam Mall , NY 30 together with NY 5 and NY 67 were re-routed onto splits comprising the Amsterdam Arterial. After the splits rejoin, NY 30 continues on Market Street and leaves the city.


Fulton County, the gateway to the Adirondacks

In the Fulton County hamlet of Vail Mills , NY 30 crosses NY 29 , then curves gently to the east after an intersection with County Route 155, which is a historical routing of NY 29. A quarter mile later, NY 30 turns left toward Mayfield ; County Route 155 continues eastward. This concurrency is not signed as such. County Route 155 is part of a historical alignment of NY 29.

NY 30 historically followed School Street through the village of Mayfield. The new routing has it heading toward Riceville, where it meets NY 30A at its northern terminus. NY 30 stops at this intersection, then turns right, entering the Adirondack Park shortly before entering the Mayfield village.

NY 30 historically crossed a bridge over the Great Sacandaga Lake into Northville . Within the village, NY 30 turned left and left the village, using old roads that meet with the current alignment of NY 30 to the north.


Hamilton, Saint Lawrence, and Franklin Counties

NY 30 runs through the Adirondacks, accessing communities such as Tupper Lake . Near that community, it skirts the boundary between Franklin and Saint Lawrence for a while. It finally ends at the Canadian border in Constable , where it becomes Route 138 .


HISTORY

Prior to 1930, the modern routing of NY 30 carried a large number of designations. Between Margaretville and Grand Gorge in the town of Roxbury , what is now NY 30 was designated as part of NY 19 . From Mayfield north to Malone , most of the current routing of NY 30 carried a designation. The portion from the modern junction of NY 30 and NY 30A in Mayfield to Speculator was part of NY 54 . From Speculator to Indian Lake , NY 30 was the northernmost segment of NY 80 .1 Between Indian Lake and Long Lake , NY 30 comprised the western half of NY 10A .''Automobile Legal Association (ALA) Automobile Green Book'', 1930/31 edition, (Scarborough Motor Guide Co., Boston, 1930). Past Long Lake, NY 30 was part of NY 10 north to the modern junction of NY 30 and NY 186 west of Harrietstown . From NY 186 to modern NY 86 in Paul Smiths , the present alignment of NY 30 was unnumbered. Between Paul Smiths and Malone, NY 30 was part of NY 3 . The remainder of NY 30 was unnumbered.

In the 1930 Renumbering , NY 30 was largely assigned to its current alignment between the Hancock hamlet of East Branch and Wells , where it terminated at NY 8 . However, between Schoharie and Mayfield, NY 30 followed the modern alignment of NY 30A. Past Wells, the modern alignment of NY 30 was designated as NY 8 to Spectator and as NY 10 north to the Canadian border. Between 1946 and 1967, NY 30 was rerouted onto its current alignment between Schoharie and Mayfield and extended north to Quebec while NY 30A was assigned to the former routing of NY 30 through Schoharie , Montgomery , and Fulton counties.23
