of the village, NY 383 re-enters open fields once again upon crossing the Wheatland–Chili town line. Within Chili, NY 383 parallels the path of the Genesee River, which Oatka Creek feeds into east of the village of Scottsville. During this stretch, the route passes under the New York State Thruway (Interstate 90 or I-90) and intersects Mile Wood Road, a highway connecting NY 383 to Mile of Woods, a hamlet on the west bank of the Genesee River. From this point, NY 383 heads to the north while the river flows to the northwest toward the route. Upon meeting the waterway, NY 383 begins to run along the Genesee River's western bank to a junction with NY 252. It continues along the riverbank as it proceeds northward, passing over Black Creek and crossing the West Shore Subdivision, a rail line owned by CSX Transportation. As NY 383 approaches the Greater Rochester International Airport, it diverges from the river and has a junction with Paul Road (unsigned County Route 168 and formerly NY 252A) south of the Airport. NY 383 follows the southern edge of the airport to an interchange with I-390 at exit 17. Shortly afterward, NY 383 crosses the Erie Canal and enters the city of Rochester. At this point, maintenance of NY 383 shifts from the New York State Department of Transportation to the city of Rochester. Scottsville Road continues within the city for four blocks to a three-way junction with Genesee Street and Elmwood Avenue. NY 383 veers north onto Genesee Street for six blocks to Brooks Avenue. Here, the route turns east to access South Plymouth Avenue. NY 383 continues north on Plymouth Avenue through densely populated sections of the city to Ford Street. The route curves east to follow Ford for one block to Exchange Boulevard, where it turns back to the north toward downtown Rochester. NY 383 follows Exchange Boulevard along the Genesee River's west bank and under the Frederick Douglass–Susan B. Anthony Memorial Bridge, which carries I-490 over both NY 383 and the river. Past the bridge, the highway enters downtown, where it passes the City of Rochester Public Safety Building and the Blue Cross Arena before terminating at a junction with East Broad Street (NY 31). History In 1908, the New York State Legislature created Route 16, an unsigned legislative route extending from the village of Cuba to the city of Rochester.
