New York State Route 367
State highway in Chemung County, New York, US
New York State Route 367 (NY 367) is a state highway located entirely within the village of Wellsburg in Chemung County, New York, in the United States. It is one of the shortest state routes in New York, extending for just 1.07 miles (1.72 km) from the Pennsylvania state line south of the village center to an intersection with NY 427 just north of it. The route serves as the main street of Wellsburg in both function and name. There is no corresponding signed state route on the Pennsylvania side of the border; instead, the road becomes State Route 4013 (SR 4013), one of Pennsylvania's unsigned quadrant routes. NY 367 originally extended north to Lowman when it was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. It was truncated to its current length in 1949.
Route description
NY 367 begins at the Pennsylvania state line at Wellsburg, where the route connects to Berwick Turnpike, a highway designated but not signed as SR 4013, one of Pennsylvania's quadrant routes. The route heads north from the state line as Main Street, proceeding north through the southern portion of the village and intersecting a local street named Doty Hill Road. Not far to the north, Berwick Turnpike leaves to the northwest while NY 367 makes a slight turn to the northeast.
The route continues on, crossing over Bentley Creek and entering the central district of the village of Wellsburg, where the majority of east–west streets are numbered.
