Route description
NY 363 begins at an interchange with NY 434 in Downtown Binghamton near the confluence of the Susquehanna and Chenango rivers, as a northern continuation of the right-of-way of NY 992E, an unsigned reference route connecting Riverside Drive (NY 990D), Washington Street, and Exchange Street in the city of Binghamton. The route, a limited-access extension of North Shore Drive, heads northeasterly along the north bank of the Susquehanna River and around the downtown district. While on the riverbank, NY 363 southbound connects to Susquehanna Street by way of an interchange. Due to the presence of the Susquehanna River south of the expressway, the onramps from NY 434 north and Susquehanna Street (via Carroll Street) to NY 363 north are actually located north of NY 363 southbound for a short distance (thus running anti-parallel to traffic on NY 363 southbound) before passing under NY 363 south and merging with NY 363 northbound on the left-hand side of the road.
Past Susquehanna Street, NY 363 continues along the Susquehanna River to a parclo interchange with U.S. Route 11 (US 11, Court Street) just east of Mirabito Stadium.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as state highway in Broome County, New York, US. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2486738. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
