New York State Route 153 (NY 153) is a long north–south state highway located in the eastern suburbs of Rochester, New York, in the United States. The southern terminus of the route is at NY 96 in the village of Pittsford. Its northern terminus is at an interchange with NY 441 in the town of Penfield. Over the course of its routing, NY 153 passes through the towns of Pittsford, East Rochester (also village), Perinton, and Penfield. NY 153 connects to Interstate 490 (I-490) twice in East Rochester by way of NY 31F and West Commercial Street. All of NY 153 in Pittsford and East Rochester was originally designated as part of NY 253 in the 1930s. From the 1930s to the 1960s, NY 253 followed North Washington Street north to NY 441 in Penfield. In the 1960s, the bridge carrying NY 253 over Irondequoit Creek was closed, and NY 253 was rerouted to use Linden Avenue and Whitney Road instead. The route was realigned again by 1971 to follow the new Panorama Trail South to an interchange with NY 441. NY 253 was truncated south to Pittsford town at some point in the latter half of the 1980s, at which time its former routing from Pittsford village to Penfield was assigned the NY 153 designation. Route description NY 153 begins at an intersection with NY 96 in the village of Pittsford, located in the town of the same name north of Pittsford's commercial district. The route travels east for a short distance as Washington Road before curving to the northeast, ascending slightly in altitude as it progresses onward. After clearing a small hill, NY 153 meets Golf Avenue. North of the Golf Avenue junction, NY 153 leaves the village as it travels up another hill before leveling off ahead of Interstate 490, which it crosses by way of an overpass rebuilt in 1994. The route continues through the residential town to an intersection with NY 31F (Fairport Road) located on the boundary between the town of Pittsford and the town and village of East Rochester. Upon crossing NY 31F, and thus the town line, NY 153 becomes South Washington Street. The route acts as the main thoroughfare through the town, carrying approximately 10,000 vehicles per day between NY 31F and West Commercial Street (unsigned NY 940U). At West Commercial Street, commuters destined for I-490 are instructed to turn left
