Route Description
NY 151 begins as a city-maintained highway at a junction with US 9 and US 20 in Rensselaer, near the Hudson River. Known as 3rd Avenue, the two-lane route heads towards the southeast in a largely developed area. Upon assuming an eastward route, the highway crosses over a series of Amtrak tracks, passing south of the Albany–Rensselaer rail station and entering a more residential area. NY 151 turns slightly towards the northeast as it leaves the city of Rensselaer and becomes maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) as it passes into the town of East Greenbush.
Just east of the city line, NY 151 veers to the south at an intersection with Barrack Road. While 3rd Avenue continues eastward as the unsigned NY 915E, NY 151 follows Barrack Road through a less-developed—and at times forested—landscape as it passes through the town. After 0.5 miles (0.8 km), the highway curves to the southeast, intersecting County Route 63 (CR 63) and changing street names to Red Mill Road in the process. It continues on a southeasterly alignment across Mill Creek to a junction with US 4. At this point, it becomes known as Luther Road as it turns northeastward towards Interstate 90 (I-90). NY 151 subsequently passes under the freeway and crosses Mill Creek a second time. After resuming a southeastern path, the route loses its street name and terminates at NY 150 in Shivers Corners, a hamlet in the town of Schodack.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“The great object in life is Sensation—to feel that we exist, even though in pain; it is this “craving void” which drives us to gaming, to battle, to travel, to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
