New York State Route 5s

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! New York State Route 5S (NY 5S) is an east-west state highway located in the Mohawk Valley of New York in the United States. It extends for 73.03 miles (117.53 km) from an interchange with NY 5, NY 5A, NY 8, and NY 12 in Utica to a smaller interchange with NY 890 in Rotterdam. The route runs along the south side of the Mohawk River for its entire length and parallels NY 5, which runs along the north side of the Mohawk River (hence the S in the route number of NY 5S). In some locations, NY 5S has been upgraded into a super two or an expressway, mostly in Utica and western Herkimer County. It also runs concurrent with part of New York State Bicycle Route 5 until it reaches NY 103.
