NY 990V Touring Route
NY 990V, Bear Kill Road in Conesville is one of the few state reference routes that is signed as a touring route.
All reference routes start with 9, followed by the DOT Region (9). Undivided reference routes are then given a suffix of 0-5 and a letter. 990V was given a “V” because it looks like a “V” on the map, where it goes around the Schoharie Reservoir.
What you probably didn’t know is that NY 990V is exactly 9.90 km in length.
