Route Description
US 15 enters New York adjacent to the state line borough of Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania. A four-lane freeway through the Steuben County town of Lindley, US 15 crosses through a rock cut, making a large bend to the north. A short distance later, US 15 leaves the incomplete freeway alignment for local roads, becoming a two-lane arterial through Lindley. Now running north, US 15 intersects with the southern terminus of County Route 120 (CR 120; Morgan Creek Road). The two-lane road winds northeast along the Tioga River, passing through large fields that separate the road and the river. They soon come back together, while US 15 continues north through Lindley. Just after Glick Road, US 15 turns northwest and returns to the limited-access highway alignment, bypassing the hamlet of Presho.
Soon after becoming a limited access highway once again, US 15 enters a partial cloverleaf interchange with CR 5 (Smith Road). After CR 5, US 15 bends northeast through the town of Erwin, running to the west of the Indian Hills Golf Club. Making a gradual bend further to the northeast, the freeway crosses the Canisteo River and enters the hamlet of Erwins, where it enters a diamond interchange with NY 417 (Addison Road). After NY 417, US 15 makes a bend alongside Norfolk Southern Railroad's Southern Tier Line (former Erie Railroad main line). Now paralleling the tracks and NY 417, US 15 crosses through Erwin, entering exit 3, which connects to NY 417 once again, next to Gang Mills Yard, the site of the former Painted Post station.
After Gang Mills Yard, US 15 crosses through the Gang Mills section of Erwins, entering a large interchange at the northern end of the neighborhood. Signed exit 4, this interchange serves CR 107 (Robert Dann Drive) via NY 417. After CR 107, US 15 enters a large interchange that utilizes several flyover ramps between US 15, I-86, and NY 17 (the Southern Tier Expressway). Ramps are also present, connecting to NY 352. This interchange serves as the northern terminus of US 15.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“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)
