New York State Route 395

New York State Route 395 (NY 395) is a state highway located within the town of Duanesburg in Schenectady County, New York, in the United States. It connects NY 7 to U.S. Route 20 (US 20) by way of the village of Delanson. The route was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York and has not been altered since.

Route description
NY 395 begins at an intersection with NY 7 (Duanesburg Road), Darby Hill Road (unsigned County Route 133 or CR 133) and Schoharie Turnpike (CR 74) in the hamlet of Quaker Street in the town of Duanesburg. NY 395 proceeds north out of Quaker Street and through a residential section of Duanesburg, crossing a junction with East Shore Road (CR 80) before crossing into the village of Delanson. Now named Main Street, NY 395 crosses a railroad line into downtown Delanson as a two-lane residential street before turning northeast just north of Thousand Acres Road.

NY 395 continues northeast through the village of Delanson, reaching a junction with Cole Road (CR 84). At this junction, NY 395 turns northward once again, paralleling the railroad line back into Duanesburg. After a bend to the northwest, the route passes the Delanson Reservoir and reaches an intersection with US 20 (Western Turnpike). The right-of-way and the designation of NY 395 both terminate at the intersection, east of the Schoharie County line.

History
On May 17, 1902, the state of New York let a contract to improve the 1.15 mi section of modern NY 395 between Quaker Street and Delanson to state highway standards. The project cost $15,993 (equivalent to $0 in 2024) and took roughly one year to complete. The improved road was added to the state highway system on July 1, 1903. By 1926, all of what is now NY 395 was state-maintained. In the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, hundreds of state-maintained highways that did not have a posted route number were assigned one. One of these was the state highway running north–south through Delanson, which was designated as NY 395.
