The '''Brandywine Highway''' is a north–south [[limited-access road|expressway]] in the vicinity of the city of [[Binghamton (city), New York|Binghamton]], [[New York (state)|New York]], in the United States. The highway is maintained by the [[New York State Department of Transportation]] and extends for {{convert|3.95|mi|2}} through [[Downtown Binghamton]] and the neighboring village of [[Port Dickinson, New York|Port Dickinson]]. The southern terminus of the highway is at [[New York State Route&nbsp;434]] (NY&nbsp;434) in Binghamton and its northern terminus is at [[Interstate 88 (east)|Interstate&nbsp;88]] (I-88) in [[Fenton, New York|Fenton]] just north of the Port Dickinson village line.


The Brandywine Highway is designated as '''New York State Route&nbsp;363''' from NY&nbsp;434 to Brandywine Avenue and part of [[New York State Route 7|NY&nbsp;7]] from Brandywine Avenue to I-88. NY 363 is also known as '''North Shore Drive.'''
The '''Cross Bronx Expressway''' is a major expressway ([[freeway]]) in the [[New York City]] borough of [[the Bronx]]. It helps carry traffic on [[Interstate 95 (New York)|Interstate 95]] through the city, and serves as a portion of [[Interstate 295 (New York)|Interstate 295]] towards [[Long Island]]; a portion is also designated [[U.S. Route 1 (New York)|U.S. Route 1]]. The Cross Bronx begins at the [[Alexander Hamilton Bridge]] over the [[Harlem River]], where the [[Trans-Manhattan Expressway]] continues west across [[Upper Manhattan]] to the [[George Washington Bridge]]. While I-95 leaves at the [[Bruckner Interchange]] in [[Throgs Neck, Bronx|Throgs Neck]], following the [[Bruckner Expressway]] and [[New England Thruway]] to [[Connecticut]], the Cross Bronx Expressway Extension continues east, carrying I-295 to the merge with the [[Throgs Neck Expressway]] near the [[Throgs Neck Bridge]].

The Brandywine Highway begins as NY&nbsp;363 at an interchange with [[New York State Route 434|NY&nbsp;434]] in [[Downtown Binghamton]] near the confluence of the [[Susquehanna River|Susquehanna]] and [[Chenango River]]s. The route, a [[limited-access highway|limited-access]] extension of North Shore Drive, heads northeast along the north bank of the Susquehanna River and around the downtown district. While on the riverbank, NY&nbsp;363 southbound connects to Susquehanna Street by way of an interchange. Due to the presence of the Susquehanna River south of the expressway, the onramps from NY&nbsp;434 north and Susquehanna Street (via Carroll Street) to NY&nbsp;363 north are actually located north of NY&nbsp;363 southbound for a short distance (thus running anti-parallel to traffic on NY&nbsp;363 southbound) before passing under NY&nbsp;363 south and merging with NY&nbsp;363 northbound on the left-hand side of the road.
[[Image:CBX Deegan junction jeh.JPG|thumb|Deegan interchange]]

[[Image:CBX Parkchester 6 jeh.JPG|thumb|Eastward from Metropolitan Avenue]]
Past Susquehanna Street, NY&nbsp;363 continues along the Susquehanna River to a [[parclo interchange]] with [[U.S. Route 11 in New York|U.S. Route&nbsp;11]] (US&nbsp;11, named Court Street) just east of [[NYSEG Stadium]]. Past US&nbsp;11, the expressway leaves the riverbank and heads northward over the [[Norfolk Southern Railway]]'s [[Southern Tier Line]] before merging with [[New York State Route 7|NY&nbsp;7]] (Brandywine Avenue) northbound. Here, NY&nbsp;363 ends and the expressway becomes part of NY&nbsp;7. Just north of the Brandywine Avenue interchange, there is an [[at-grade intersection]] between NY&nbsp;7 and Frederick Street. However, only right-hand turns are permitted from NY&nbsp;7.
The Cross Bronx Expressway begins at the eastern end of the [[Alexander Hamilton Bridge]] as a continuation of the [[Trans-Manhattan Expressway]] and officially designated as both [[I-95 (NY)|I-95]] and [[US 1 (NY)|US 1]]. Immediately after coming off the bridge, there is an interchange with the [[Major Deegan Expressway]] ([[I-87]]) for [[Yankee Stadium]] and points upstate. The highway soon intersects with [[Webster Avenue]] at a partial interchange allowing eastbound vehicles to exit and westbound ones to enter. Northbound [[US 1 (NY)|US 1]] leaves the Cross Bronx Expressway at this exit. About one and half miles later, comes a pair of closely-spaced interchanges for the [[Sheridan Expressway]] (I-895) and the [[Bronx River Parkway]]. The exit for the Sheridan Expressway is an incomplete interchange and allows access from northbound and to southbound I-95 only.

North of Frederick Street, the highway connects to the [[overlap (road)|conjoined]] routes of [[Interstate 81 in New York|I-81]] and [[New York State Route 17|NY&nbsp;17]] by way of a [[cloverleaf interchange]]. Just north of the cloverleaf's northern tip is a simpler [[diamond interchange]] between NY&nbsp;7 and Bevier Street. The highway continues on, paralleling a [[branch line]] off the Southern Tier Line northward through the city and into the village of [[Port Dickinson, New York|Port Dickinson]]. A second at-grade intersection exists with Old State Road; however, unlike the first with Frederick Street, there are no turn restrictions at this intersection. NY&nbsp;7 becomes limited-access once more, meeting a pair of [[service road]]s that serve [[Hillcrest, Broome County, New York|Hillcrest]] before merging with [[Interstate 88 (east)|I-88]] just north of the Port Dickinson village limits in the town of [[Fenton, New York|Fenton]]. The Brandywine Highway ends here; however, NY&nbsp;7 continues onto I-88.

The Brandywine Highway is a north–south expressway in the vicinity of the city of Binghamton, New York, in the United States. The highway is maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation and extends for 3.95 miles (6.36 km) through Downtown Binghamton and the neighboring village of Port Dickinson. The southern terminus of the highway is at New York State Route 434 (NY 434) in Binghamton and its northern terminus is at Interstate 88 (I-88) in Fenton just north of the Port Dickinson village line.

The Brandywine Highway is designated as New York State Route 363 from NY 434 to Brandywine Avenue and part of NY 7 from Brandywine Avenue to I-88. NY 363 is also known as North Shore Drive.

Route description

[edit]

The Brandywine Highway begins as NY 363 at an interchange with NY 434 in Downtown Binghamton near the confluence of the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers. The route, a limited-access extension of North Shore Drive, heads northeast along the north bank of the Susquehanna River and around the downtown district. While on the riverbank, NY 363 southbound connects to Susquehanna Street by way of an interchange. Due to the presence of the Susquehanna River south of the expressway, the onramps from NY 434 north and Susquehanna Street (via Carroll Street) to NY 363 north are actually located north of NY 363 southbound for a short distance (thus running anti-parallel to traffic on NY 363 southbound) before passing under NY 363 south and merging with NY 363 northbound on the left-hand side of the road.

Past Susquehanna Street, NY 363 continues along the Susquehanna River to a parclo interchange with U.S. Route 11 (US 11, named Court Street) just east of NYSEG Stadium. Past US 11, the expressway leaves the riverbank and heads northward over the Norfolk Southern Railway's Southern Tier Line before merging with NY 7 (Brandywine Avenue) northbound. Here, NY 363 ends and the expressway becomes part of NY 7. Just north of the Brandywine Avenue interchange, there is an at-grade intersection between NY 7 and Frederick Street. However, only right-hand turns are permitted from NY 7.

North of Frederick Street, the highway connects to the conjoined routes of I-81 and NY 17 by way of a cloverleaf interchange. Just north of the cloverleaf's northern tip is a simpler diamond interchange between NY 7 and Bevier Street. The highway continues on, paralleling a branch line off the Southern Tier Line northward through the city and into the village of Port Dickinson. A second at-grade intersection exists with Old State Road; however, unlike the first with Frederick Street, there are no turn restrictions at this intersection. NY 7 becomes limited-access once more, meeting a pair of service roads that serve Hillcrest before merging with I-88 just north of the Port Dickinson village limits in the town of Fenton. The Brandywine Highway ends here; however, NY 7 continues onto I-88.

History

[edit]

The Brandywine Highway was constructed in the early 1960s[1] and opened to traffic by 1968. The portion of the freeway north of Brandywine Avenue became a realignment of NY 7[2][5][6] while the remaining section from NY 434 to Brandywine Avenue was initially unnumbered.[2][7] The NY 434–Brandywine Avenue segment was designated as NY 363 on July 1, 1974.[3] In the late 1980s, the northernmost portion of the highway was reconfigured to accommodate the new I-88.[1]
