New York State Route 132 - Route Description

Route Description

NY 132 begins at an intersection with the concurrent routes of US 202 and NY 35 adjacent to both the locally maintained Downing Park and the state-maintained Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park northwest of Yorktown Heights. The route proceeds north along the two-lane Old Yorktown Road, paralleling the Taconic State Parkway as it runs through a series of residential neighborhoods and serves Lakeland Copper Beech Middle School. Just past the school, the route connects to the parkway at a partial diamond interchange south of the hamlet of Shrub Oak. No access is provided to the northbound Taconic Parkway from NY 132; likewise, traffic commuting southbound on the parkway cannot connect to NY 132. The missing exit and ramp are available just to the north at the parkway's interchange with US 6.

Past the parkway, NY 132 splits from Old Yorktown Road at a junction with Barger Street. While the former street continues west for a very short distance as a town road to a junction with East Main Street (unsigned County Route 1309), the latter carries NY 132 north to an intersection with East Main Street in a commercial part of Shrub Oak. East Main Street is the former alignment of US 6 through Shrub Oak, and NY 132 heads north on the street for one block to reach the current alignment of US 6. East Main Street turns east onto US 6 at the junction, which serves as the north end of NY 132. The highway's right-of-way continues north from US 6 as Barger Street.
