History
NY 61 was assigned c. 1962 to its current alignment. In that same year, the bridge carrying Hyde Park Boulevard over Gill Creek at Walnut Avenue, 41 feet (12 m) in length and originally built in 1950, was reconstructed. Farther north, the bridge over the western end of the CSX Transportation Niagara Yard, at 355 feet (108 m) long, was completed in 1964. It was reconstructed in 1997.
