New York State Route 206 (NY 206) is a state highway in the Southern Tier of New York in the United States. It runs through some lightly populated regions along the state's southern border, from Central New York to the Catskills. It begins near a busy intersection with Interstate 81 (I-81) at Whitney Point and runs east from there through Greene. The eastern terminus is located at a junction with NY 17 (future I-86) at Roscoe in Sullivan County. It is one of the longest three-digit routes in New York, and the only long one not associated with a two-digit route or a former U.S. Route. Yet due to its location it sees little traffic, although for much of its length it follows the route of a main 19th century thoroughfare, the Catskill Turnpike. It is primarily a long shortcut around Binghamton. NY 206 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, but only from Bainbridge to Downsville. NY 206 was extended west to Whitney Point in the early 1940s; another extension in the late 1970s moved the route's eastern terminus to Roscoe. Prior to becoming NY 206, the Whitney Point–Greene segment was once New York State Route 219 and New York State Route 383 while the portion from Coventry to Bainbridge was previously New York State Route 218. Route description NY 206 begins at an intersection with NY 26 and NY 79 at the bank of the Tioughnioga River in Whitney Point. A two-lane road known as Main Street, NY 206 parallels NY 79 as it progresses eastward, leaving Whitney Point for the town of Triangle. NY 206 enters the hamlet of Triangle, where it meets a junction with County Route 133 (CR 133, named South Street) and CR 137 (North Street). East of Triangle, the road crosses the Chenango County line and enters the hamlet of Barnes Corners. Through the town of Greene, NY 206 remains a two-lane rural road, reaching the hamlet of Genegantslet at the junction with CR 2. NY 206 turns southeast at Genegantslet and enters the village of Greene, where it becomes Genesee Street at a junction with NY 12 and NY 41. Becoming concurrent with NY 41, the route runs southeast through downtown Greene, crossing the Chenango River and changes names to Washington Street. At the junction with CR 32, NY 206 and NY 41 turn northeast
