New York State Route 5 (NY5) is a significant state highway that spans approximately 370.80 miles across New York, beginning at the Pennsylvania state line in Ripley and terminating in downtown Albany. This route connects several major cities, including Buffalo, Syracuse, and Utica, and serves as a crucial corridor for regional travel.

Historically, NY5 was one of the primary east-west highways in upstate New York prior to the construction of the New York State Thruway. The highway is locally known by various names, such as Main Street in Buffalo and Erie Boulevard in Syracuse, and it maintains important connections with numerous north-south highways throughout the region.
