There is a diverging diamond interchange with the Quickway (NY 17/Future I-86). The northbound and southbound lanes cross over each other twice at traffic lights so that traffic passes through the interchange on the left side of the road. Exit to the right before the first traffic light to go east toward the New York Thruway (I-87). To stay on NY 17, exit to the left after the first traffic light to go west on the Quickway. NY 32 begins straight ahead.
