New York State Route 382
former highway in New York
New York State Route 382 (NY 382) was a state highway in the town of Red House in Cattaraugus County, New York, in the United States. The highway was 0.8 miles (1.3 km) long and served as a connector between NY 17 and the Red House entrance of Allegany State Park, where it connected to Allegany State Park Route 2 (ASP Route 2). NY 382 was assigned in the early 1930s and removed in the early 1970s after the highway's connection to the park was dismantled, and the hamlet it served evacuated, as part of the Southern Tier Expressway's construction. The NY 382 designation is currently reserved by the New York State Department of Transportation as a replacement for NY 88 in Ontario and Wayne counties.
Route description
The western terminus of NY 382 was at an intersection with Bay State Road and NY 17 in the now abandoned hamlet of Red House, located 5 miles (8.0 km) southwest of the city of Salamanca in the town of Red House. At the time, NY 17 was routed along an at-grade highway that paralleled the future routing of the Southern Tier Expressway to the north and west. NY 382 headed southeast from the junction, passing through the center of what was then the hamlet of Red House before turning eastward ahead of Red House Brook, a small stream that branched off the nearby Allegheny River. NY 382 paralleled Red House Brook east to the Allegany State Park boundary, where the NY 382 designation ended and the highway continued east as Allegany State Park Route 2.
History
NY 382 was assigned c. 1932 to a short roadway linking NY 17 to an entrance to Allegany State Park in Red House.
The route remained intact until the construction of the Southern Tier Expressway (STE) through Red House in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
