New York State Route 30 is a state highway in the central part of New York, USA. The highway runs from the Southern Tier to the border of Canada. The route serves to connect the Catskill State Park to the Adirondack State Park, and within that park is known as the Adirondack Trail[2].
In the Montgomery County city of Amsterdam, NY 30 enters at its interchanges with the Thruway and NY 5S, heading downhill as a four-lane divided highway approaching the Mohawk River/Erie Canal. Historically, the bridge over the river was a straight line to Market Street, which is visible as one approaches northbound. Segments of downtown Market Street remain in use today. With the 1977 creation of the Amsterdam Mall, NY 30 together with NY 5 and NY 67 were re-routed onto splits comprising the Amsterdam Arterial [3]. After the splits rejoin, NY 30 continues on Market Street and leaves the city.
In the Fulton County hamlet of Vail Mills, NY 30 crosses NY 29, then curves gently to the east after an intersection with County Route 155, which is a historical routing of NY 29. A quarter mile later, NY 30 turns left toward Mayfield; County Route 155 continues eastward. This duplex is not signed as such. County Route 155 is part of a historical alignment of NY 29.
NY 30 historically followed School Street through the village of Mayfield. The new routing has it heading toward Riceville, where it meets NY 30A at its northern terminus. NY 30 stops at this intersecton, then turns right, entering the Adirondack State Park shortly before entering the Mayfield village.
NY 30 historically crossed a bridge over the Great Sacandaga Lake into Northville. Within the village, NY 30 turned left and left the village, using old roads that meet with the current alignment of NY 30 to the north.
