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.

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 next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
