The rich farm country of the Bridgewater Flats turns into a deep gully in Cassville that NY 8 Expressway and the Norwich - Utica railine run.
South of Utica you will find many acres of cultivated land, while north of the city there is some cultivated acres, but much of the land is of poorer quality and used for timber production, grazing, and hay production. Even further north you get into the foothills of the Adirondack Park and it's highly forested. To the west of Rome, you can see the marshy lands along the Wood Creek and the Barge Canal, along with the confers of the Rome Sand Plains, a pine barriens.
Designed to reduce delays due to turning cars between NY 28 and NY 12.
In the early 2000s, the last section of the Utica - Rome Expressway (NY 49) was upgraded to full limited access, by paralleling the NY Thruway and bypassing Marcy.
