New York State Route 31 - Suffixed Routes

Suffixed Routes

NY 31 has had as many as eight suffixed routes using six different designations; all but three have been eliminated or renumbered.

• The NY 31A designation has been used for three distinct highways, two of which briefly co-existed:
  • The first NY 31A was a connector between NY 31 in Jordan and NY 5 in the village of Elbridge. It was assigned in the mid-1920s and absorbed by NY 41 in the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York.
  • The second NY 31A was an alternate route of NY 31 between Niagara Falls and Cambria via Sanborn. It was assigned in the late 1920s and mostly supplanted by a realigned NY 31 c. 1935.
  • The current NY 31A (22.89 miles or 36.84 kilometres) is an alternate route of NY 31 between the villages of Medina and Brockport. The route bypasses Medina, Albion, and Holley to the south via Clarendon. It was assigned c. 1935.
• The NY 31B designation has been used for two distinct highways:
  • The first NY 31B was a short-lived connector in Cicero that linked Lakeshore Road (at the time NY 31) to US 11 by way of Mud Mill Road. It was assigned c. 1932 and removed c. 1933.
  • The second NY 31B was a connector linking NY 31 in Weedsport to NY 5 in the town of Elbridge. The designation was assigned c. 1933 and removed in 1980. It was replaced with CR 31B in Cayuga County and CR 99 in Onondaga County.
• NY 31C was a connector between NY 31 in Jordan to NY 5 in Elbridge. It was assigned c. 1933 and partially replaced by NY 317 in 2003.
• NY 31D was a spur that extended from the Orleans County line to NY 31 south of Brockport in Monroe County. The route was assigned c. 1935 and became the easternmost portion of NY 31A c. 1963.
• NY 31E (5.29 miles or 8.51 kilometres) is an alternate route of NY 31 between the villages of Middleport and Medina. It was assigned in the late 1940s.
• NY 31F (13.59 miles or 21.87 kilometres) is an alternate route of NY 31 that extends from NY 96 in Pittsford to NY 31 in Macedon. The route bypasses Pittsford and southern Perinton to serve East Rochester and Fairport. It was assigned in the late 1940s.
