New York State Highway 17

New York State Highway 17 runs from Suffern, New York (where it connects to NJ 17) to the Pennsylvania border in Western New York where it connects to Interstate 86. NY 17 is gradually being resigned as Interstate 86 as part of an upgrade to the route, replacing at-grade intersections and bringing the road up to Interstate standards. North and west of Harriman, New York, at its intersection with Interstate 87 and U.S. Highway 6, NY 17 is informally known as the 'Quickway,' connecting the New York City metropolitan area with the southern-tier and Pennsylvania. It is named the Southern Tier Expressway to Interstate 81, where it becomes the "Quickway."

Route 17 is currently the longest New York State Highway. It stretches 397 miles and serves 11 counties in the State of New York, including Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Alleghany, Steuben, Chemung, Tioga, Broome, Delaware, Sullivan, Orange and Rockland. When it becomes fully transformed into Interstate 86 (a step tentatively set for 2012) the title of longest New York State Highway will be passed down to Route 5.
