The creek splits from NY 88 after to continue eastward toward Lyons, while NY 88 heads north toward the village of Sodus. Between Newark and Sodus, NY 88 swerves to the west and east as it navigates the hilly Wayne County terrain, passing through the hamlets of Mud Mills and Fairville and loosely paralleling the Ontario Midland Railroad in the process. The route traverses little more than farmland on its way to Sodus, where the route becomes Carlton Street. At a residential intersection with West Main Street (part of the old Ridge Road), NY 88 turns west and follows West Main Street out of Sodus. Ridge Road separates from NY 88 just past the village line in the town of Sodus, leaving NY 88 unnamed for a short, undeveloped distance between Ridge Road and its northern terminus at NY 104. History NY 88 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to an alignment extending from the city of Canandaigua to the village of Sodus via the villages of Phelps and Newark. It began at the intersection of West Avenue and Main Street in downtown Canandaigua and overlapped with NY 21 to the hamlet of Chapin, where it split from NY 21 to follow modern NY 488 to Phelps. In Sodus, the route initially ended at the junction of Carlton and Main Streets as the latter carried NY 3 at the time. NY 3 was replaced by U.S. Route 104 (US 104) from Rochester to Maple View . The super two highway north of Sodus was completed in the mid-1960s as a realignment of US 104, at which time NY 88 was extended westward along West Main Street to meet the new highway. NY 88 was truncated on its southern end to Phelps in August 1972 as part of a statewide elimination of overlaps, such as NY 88 and NY 96. The old alignment between NY 21 and NY 96 was re-designated as NY 488. The route is one of two state-maintained highways in New York numbered "88"; the other is I-88 in the eastern half of the state. NYSDOT has explicitly reserved the NY 382 designation as a replacement for NY 88, presumably for the purpose of eliminating the numerical duplication with I-88. No timetable has been established for the redesignation. Major intersections See also References External links 088 Transportation in Ontario County,
