Binghamton Metropolitan Area - Transportation

Transportation

The cities all sit together, parallel to the Southern Tier Expressway (New York State Highway 17, the main part of future Interstate 86 (east)). This along with a junction to Interstate 81, Interstate 88, and U.S. Highway 11 along with New York State Route 12 (commonly called route 11, and route 12, or simply 11 and 12, respectively), form the main transportation routes for the area. NY 17, and I-81 are the high-speed roadways providing quick expressway access between the cities, while the other two serve as secondary, but important, gateways to the area (and notably US 11 which turns into Court Street in the city of Binghamton, and comes out the other end, linking up with NY 12). Interstate 88 starts between exits 5 and 6 on I-81 and terminates in Albany.

In addition, Greater Binghamton Airport is located in Maine, New York. Several commercial carriers have scheduled flights from the airport.

Main Street begins at downtown Binghamton and runs through Johnson City, Endwell, and Endicott.
