Route description
edit
NY 456 began at an intersection with NY 22 in the town of Beekmantown.[4] Maintained by the county as CR 58 and known locally as Spellman Road,[5] NY 456 proceeded east through a residential section of Beekmantown and past the Cumberland Head Library. Just after crossing the junction with Ashley Road, the route crossed over tracks owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway and used by Amtrak on its Adirondack service. Remaining a two-lane residential road through Beekmantown, NY 456 continued past a junction with Ron-Cathy Road and into an interchange with the Adirondack Northway (I-87) (exit 40). Two blocks after the interchange with the Northway, NY 456 reached a junction with US 9 just northwest of Point Au Roche State Park.[4]
