New York State Route 962J (NY 962J) is a 0.41-mile-long (0.66 km) northeast–southwest reference route that, unlike most reference routes, has been signed as a touring route in Southern Tier town of Owego in Tioga County, New York. Its southwestern terminus is at NY 434 in the census-designated place of Apalachin and its northeastern terminus is at NY 17C south of the hamlet of Campville.

Route description

NY 962J heading southbound from NY 17C in Owego

The entire route is less than ¹⁄₂ mile (0.80 km) in length and has only one name, Valley View Drive.

Shortly after the street begins at NY 434, NY 962J passes over NY 17 (Future I-86) (the Southern Tier Expressway). This portion was previously part of the trumpet-style interchange that NY 17 westbound had with NY 434 at exit 66. Today, however, the road continues to the northeast, intersecting the new ramps that lead to and from NY 17 westbound before crossing over the Susquehanna River.

On the other bank of the river, the highway passes over the Norfolk Southern-owned Southern Tier Line before reaching its northern terminus at NY 17C.

History

The bridge over the Susquehanna and the reconfiguration of the westbound ramps at exit 66 were completed in 2001, offering a convenient connector route across the Susquehanna.[3] It was also designated as a reference route at that time.[2] It was not marked as a touring route until early 2005.[4] NY 962J is one of four reference routes in New York State to be signed as a touring route.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Tioga County.
