  New York State Highway 17 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New York State Highway 17, also known as the Southern Tier Expressway, runs from Suffern, New York (where it connects to NJ 17) to the Pennsylvania border in Western New York where it connects to Interstate 86.
North and west of Harriman, New York, at its intersection with Interstate 87 and U.S. Highway 6, NY 17 is informally known as the 'Quickway,' connecting the New York City metropolitan area with the southern-tier and Pennsylvania.
In response, New York State officials planned a four-lane replacement, the first free long-distance expressway in the state and one of the earliest in the United States.
