NY 252 is now maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). Plat Maps The 1902 Plat Map of Monroe County NY, Plate 21, shows a road in the northeast corner of the Town of Henrietta, called Croton Road, running west from the Pittsford Town border, terminating after about a mine and a quarter at a road now known as Winton Road South. This portion of Croton Road follows the modern alignment of Jefferson Road, Rt. 252. A traveler from Pittsford Village to the Ballentyne bridge over the Genesee River would follow this road to Winton Road, turn north on Winton to the beginning of Brighton-Henrietta Town Line Road, and then follow that road west to the bridge. The 1924 Monroe County Plat Map shows the same road layout, except that Croton Road is called Lothrudge in the Town of Henrietta. But the 1941 Monroe County Plat Map, Vol. 5, Plat 26 and 27, shows the bypass alignment of Jefferson Road, State Highway Route 252, where the former Crodon (or Lothrudge) Road continues directly west of Winton Road South, intersecting East Henrietta Road (State Highway Route 15A), Clay Road, West Henrietta Road (US and State Highway Route 15), where it angles to the northwest and intersects Brighton-Henrietta Town Line Road at Johns Street in the hamlet of Mortimer. The portion of Brighton-Henrietta Town Line Road west of Johns Street, as seen on the 1902 and 1924 Plat Maps, has been renamed Jefferson Road on the 1941 Plat Map. Mortimer is marked as the intersection of the New York Central Rail Road, West Shore Division, running east and west (between Jefferson Road and Brighton-Henrietta Town Line Road), The Rochester and Mount Morris branch of the Erie Railroad, running to the southwest, and the Rochester spur of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, running to the southeast. Widening projects In August 2008, construction began on a $5.5 million project to improve the intersection between Clover Street (NY 65) and Jefferson Road (NY 252) in the town of Pittsford. The project, which had been in development for a decade, involved the widening of Jefferson Road from two to four lanes in the vicinity of the intersection, the addition of green arrow signal lights for all left-hand turns, and the installation of sidewalks alongside both Clover Street and Jefferson Road. Work on the project was temporarily halted during the winter months; however, it resumed
