'''New York State Route 59''' ('''NY 59''') is an east–west [[state highway]] in southern [[Rockland County, New York]], in the United States. The route extends for {{convert|14.08|mi|2}} from [[New York State Route 17|NY 17]] in [[Hillburn, New York|Hillburn]] to [[U.S. Route 9W]] (US 9W) in [[Nyack, New York|Nyack]]. In [[Suffern, New York|Suffern]], it has a [[concurrency (road)|concurrency]] with [[U.S. Route 202 in New York|US 202]] for {{convert|0.05|mi|2}}. NY 59 runs parallel to the [[New York State Thruway]] its entire route. The routing of NY 59 became a state highway in 1911 and was signed as NY 59 in the late 1920s.
When NY 59 was first assigned, it began at NY 17 in Suffern. A western bypass of Suffern was designated as '''New York State Route 339''' {{circa|1932}}; however, it became part of a realigned NY 17 in the mid-1930s. NY 339 was reassigned to NY 17's former routing between Hillburn and Suffern, but it was replaced again {{circa|lk=no|1937}} by an extended NY 59. In the 1960s, proposals surfaced for the '''Spring Valley Bypass''', a highway that would utilize the NY 59 corridor between [[New York State Route 306|NY 306]] in [[Monsey, New York|Monsey]] and [[New York State Route 45|NY 45]] in [[Spring Valley, New York|Spring Valley]]. The proposed highway was never built.
==Route description==
[[File:NY_59_in_Nanuet.jpg|left|thumb|NY 59 westbound through Nanuet, after the interchange with [[New York State Route 304|NY 304]]]]
NY 59 begins at an intersection with [[New York State Route 17|NY 17]] in [[Hillburn, New York|Hillburn]], just south of the village of [[Sloatsburg, New York|Sloatsburg]] in southern [[Rockland County, New York|Rockland County]]. It heads to the southeast as the [[Korean War]] Veterans Memorial Highway, crossing over the [[Ramapo River]] and the [[Metro-North Railroad]]'s [[Port Jervis Line]] before following both into [[Suffern, New York|Suffern]]. The river leaves NY 59 just inside the village line; however, the railroad continues to run alongside NY 59 into the center of Suffern, where both pass under the [[New York State Thruway]] near where [[Interstate 87 (New York)|Interstate 87]] (I-87) connects to [[Interstate 287|I-287]].<ref name="google">{{Google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=2036210090501404969,41.137405,-74.166737%3B16739010844802378770,41.122331,-74.159943%3B4927242213475042011,41.108960,-74.053910%3B8102902720396899452,41.091761,-73.974326%3B14122985737362439143,41.094018,-73.927833&time=&date=&ttype=&saddr=Korean+War+Veterans+Memorial+Hwy%2FRT-17%2FRT-59+%4041.137405,+-74.166737&daddr=Korean+War+Veterans+Memorial+Hwy%2FRT-59+%4041.122331,+-74.159943+to:Korean+War+Veterans+Memorial+Hwy%2FRT-59+%4041.108960,+-74.053910+to:Korean+War+Veterans+Memorial+Hwy%2FRT-59+E+%4041.091761,+-73.974326+to:41.092548,-73.92889&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=4&sz=14&via=1,2,3&sll=41.10044,-73.940048&sspn=0.028329,0.057764&ie=UTF8&ll=41.100569,-74.070511&spn=0.226633,0.462112&z=11&om=0 |title=overview map of NY 59 |access-date=September 7, 2007}}</ref>
Just south of the I-87 overpass, NY 59 meets [[U.S. Route 202 in New York|US 202]] at Wayne Avenue. US 202 joins NY 59 for a one block [[wrong way concurrency]] along Orange Avenue—as NY 59 eastbound is paired with US 202 westbound and vice versa—during which time both routes cross a [[Norfolk Southern Railway]] line [[grade crossing|at-grade]]. At the end of the [[overlap (road)|overlap]], US 202 continues south along Orange Avenue to the [[New Jersey]] state line while NY 59 forks eastward toward central Rockland County. As NY 59 leaves Suffern and enters [[Airmont, New York|Airmont]], it passes Good Samaritan Hospital, a major hospital in Rockland County. While in Airmont, NY 59 intersects [[County Route 89 (Rockland County, New York)|County Route 89]] (CR 89) and [[County Route 85 (Rockland County, New York)|CR 85]]. After leaving Airmont, NY 59 proceeds east through [[Monsey, New York|Monsey]], where it intersects the southern terminus of [[New York State Route 306|NY 306]].<ref name="google"/>
[[File:US202NY59Suffern.jpg|thumb|right|NY 59's brief wrong-way concurrency with US 202 in Suffern.]]
As NY 59 passes [[Spring Valley High School (New York)|Spring Valley High School]], it enters the village limits of [[Spring Valley, New York|Spring Valley]]. While in Spring Valley, NY 59 has an overlap with [[County Route 35A (Rockland County, New York)|CR 35A]] for about a tenth of a mile and meets the Thruway at exit 14, with a pair of [[park and ride]] lots located at the interchange. The route continues eastward into [[Nanuet, New York|Nanuet]], where NY 59 passes through a heavy commercialized area, crossing under [[NJ Transit]]/Metro-North Railroad's [[Pascack Valley Line]]. Before its busy intersection with [[County Route 33 (Rockland County, New York)|CR 33]], NY 59 passes [[The Shops at Nanuet]] to its south and the Rockland Plaza to its north.<ref name="google"/>
Upon entering [[West Nyack, New York|West Nyack]], NY 59 becomes a four-lane [[limited-access road|expressway]] and intersects [[New York State Route 304|NY 304]] and the [[Palisades Interstate Parkway]] (exit 8). The route proceeds onward, passing [[Palisades Center]], one of the largest shopping malls in the country. Immediately after passing Palisades Center, NY 59 becomes a four-lane surface road and briefly enters [[Central Nyack, New York|Central Nyack]]. Here it connects to [[New York State Route 303|NY 303]] by way of an interchange. Before hitting the [[Nyack, New York|Nyack]] village line, NY 59 has its final interchange with the Thruway. The southbound entrance to the [[Tappan Zee Bridge (2017–present)|Tappan Zee Bridge]] is via Mountainview Avenue, and the northbound entrance is via Polhemus Street.<ref name="google"/>
At the Nyack line, NY 59 becomes known as Main Street. As Main Street, NY 59 runs under the Thruway one final time before the Thruway heads over the bridge. The route continues toward downtown Nyack; however, it ends at an intersection with [[U.S. Route 9W|US 9W]] before it reaches the central district. Main Street continues for several blocks into downtown Nyack.<ref name="google"/>
==History==
===Origins===
NY 59 originated as the Nyack Turnpike, which was the first major thoroughfare in [[Rockland County, New York|Rockland County]].<ref name="nyack">{{cite news |first=Andrea |last=Rubin |title=Take the main road from the Hudson to Hillburn (and back) |newspaper=[[The Journal News]] |___location=[[White Plains, New York|White Plains, NY]] |date=October 22, 2002}}</ref> A petition was filed in 1813 to construct the turnpike. Legislation stemming from the petition was passed on April 17, 1816, allowing construction to begin. The Nyack Turnpike was completed from Suffern to Nyack in the 1830s, despite many years of local opposition to the highway. Its charter was renewed multiple times throughout the 19th century, and it was designated as a [[toll road]] to help pay for its upkeep. In 1894, the turnpike was absorbed into the [[Rockland County, New York|Rockland County]] road system.<ref name="Nannariello">{{cite web|first=Lynn |last=Nannariello |publisher=Rockland County Government |url=http://www.co.rockland.ny.us/Arts/Turnpike.html |title=Its About Time |access-date=February 28, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071221043555/http://www.co.rockland.ny.us/Arts/Turnpike.html |archive-date=December 21, 2007 }}</ref>
[[File:NY59bridge.jpg|thumb|left|The bridge carrying NY 59 over the [[Norfolk Southern Railway]] near its western terminus in [[Hillburn, New York|Hillburn]] on a snowy day.]]
The turnpike was turned over from the county to the state of [[New York (state)|New York]] on July 14, 1911,<ref name="Nannariello" /> and added to the state highway system as part of Route 39-b, an unsigned [[legislative route]] extending from [[Nyack, New York|Nyack]] (at Broadway) to [[Harriman, New York|Harriman]] via modern NY 59 and [[New York State Route 17|NY 17]].<ref name="1919book">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hZ4AAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA68 |author=State of New York Commission of Highways |title=The Highway Law |year=1919 |publisher=J.

The Suffern–Nyack highway remained unnumbered until the late 1920s when was designated as NY 59. At the time, NY 59 was routed on West Nyack Road between [[Nanuet, New York|Nanuet]] and [[Central Nyack, New York|Central Nyack]].<ref name="1927map">{{cite map |title=Road Map of New York in Soconyland |year=1927 |publisher=[[Standard Oil Company of New York]] |cartography=[[General Drafting]]}}</ref><ref name="1929map">{{cite map |title=New York in Soconyland |year=1929 |publisher=Standard Oil Company of New York |cartography=General Drafting}}</ref> The route was rendered unchanged in the [[1930 state highway renumbering (New York)|1930 renumbering of state highways in New York]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Dickinson |first=Leon A. |title=New Signs for State Highways |newspaper=The New York Times |date=January 12, 1930 |page=136}}</ref> A western bypass of Suffern was designated as NY 339 {{circa|lk=no|1932}}.

In the early 1950s, construction began on a bypass of West Nyack Road between [[Nanuet, New York|Nanuet]] and [[West Nyack, New York|West Nyack]].<ref>{{cite map |title=New York |publisher=[[Sunoco]] |cartography=Rand McNally and Company |year=1952}}</ref><ref name="1954map">{{cite map |title=New York with Special Maps of Putnam–Rockland–Westchester Counties and Finger Lakes Region |publisher=[[Esso]] |cartography=General Drafting |edition=1955–56 |year=1954}}</ref> The highway was completed {{circa|lk=no|1955}} and became part of a realigned NY 59.

In 1958, [[Ramapo, New York|Ramapo]] town engineer Edwin Wallace noticed an increase in the amount of traffic passing through the village of [[Spring Valley, New York|Spring Valley]], which had become the largest village in Rockland County by this time. This led Wallace to propose a {{convert|5|mi|km|adj=on}} bypass of NY 59 in [[Monsey, New York|Monsey]] and [[New York State Route 45|NY 45]] in [[Hillcrest, Rockland County, New York|Hillcrest]]. Rockland County approved the proposed bypass two years later.<ref>{{cite news |title=Bypass Hearing Held: Most of 200 Favor Route to Avoid Spring Valley |newspaper=The New York Times |date=April 22, 1960 |page=6}}</ref> In 1966, the Tri-State Transportation Commission released its long-term highway report for the area. The new study replaced the Spring Valley Bypass with the NY 45 expressway, a north–south bypass of Spring Valley connecting the [[Garden State Parkway]] to the [[Palisades Interstate Parkway]]. The road would serve a steadily growing area of commercial businesses along the NY 45 corridor. No action was taken on this proposal.<ref>{{cite book |title=Transportation 1985: A Regional Plan |year=1966 |publisher=Tri-State Transportation Commission}}</ref>
With the Spring Valley Bypass plan shelved, traffic continued to pour through the Spring Valley–Nanuet area. In 1987, a task force was introduced to come up with a plan to solve this issue. Traffic became even worse when the [[Nanuet Mall]] expanded in 1994. NYSDOT tried to fix the worsening situation in 1995 when they reconstructed almost {{convert|3|mi|0}} of NY 59 from the eastern border of Spring Valley to exit 8 of the Palisades Interstate Parkway. The project widened the road to six lanes, helping to move traffic through the area from Grandview to Middletown Roads in Nanuet. In 1997, the [[New York State Thruway Authority]] dropped the Spring Valley toll on the Thruway for all motorists except truckers. This helped reduce traffic on NY 59 between exits 14A and 14B.<ref name="nyack"/>
Shortly after the traffic problems in Nanuet were reduced, the focus was shifted to West Nyack where [[Palisades Center]] was being constructed. First proposed in the late 1980s, construction finally started in 1995. This caused major delays for motorists when a bridge was constructed from NY 59 to Palisades Center south parking lot.<ref name="NYTimes">{{cite news |newspaper=The New York Times |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=940DEFDD1630F932A05751C1A96E948260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=2 |title=Plan to Build Huge Mall Under Attack in Rockland |date=December 31, 1988 |access-date=December 16, 2009 |first=James |last=Feron}}</ref> To keep this portion of NY 59 from being overloaded with mall goers, exit 12 of the Thruway with NY 303 was re-routed through Palisades Center via Palisades Center Drive.<ref name=route303int>{{cite news |last=Marshall |first=Julienne |title=Snake Hill Road once had big copperhead population |newspaper=[[The Journal News]] |date=March 17, 2003 |___location=White Plains, NY |page=B5}}</ref>
In coordination with the [[Lower Hudson Transit Link]], new traffic signals, with transit priority, were built on NY 59, along with new bus shelters, ADA-compliant sidewalks and crosswalks. Integrated Corridor Management systems and Intelligent Traffic Signal technology were also installed on NY 59 to decrease travel times for Hudson Link buses going to and from [[New York City]].
== Future ==
The [[New York Metropolitan Transportation Council]] (NYMTC) has started the Route 59 Area Transportation & Land Use Study to study NY 59 between Airmont Road and the bridge over South Pascack Road. The study, taking place between Winter 2019 and Spring 2020, will investigate possible improvements to the road, such as new bicycle lanes and sidewalks.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Route 59 {{!}} Area Transportation & Land Use Study |url=http://route59study.org/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231005001006/https://route59study.org/ |archive-date=2023-10-05 |access-date=2019-08-27 |language=en-US}}</ref>
