NY-104 near Lockport.
Western Upstate New York
The road begins in Niagara Falls as the Robert Moses Parkway, then runs to Lewiston paralleling the Canadian border. One then leaves the Buffalo conurbation here, and then turns east. It is a through route, parallel to Lake Ontario, with a lot of ribbon development. It passes north of the town of Lockport, avoiding most of the larger towns on the route. The distance to Lake Ontario is usually 10 to 15 kilometers. The distance from Niagara Falls to Rochester is about 140 kilometers.
Rochester
At the suburb of Greece one enters the metropolitan area of Rochester. The road is initially a six-lane trunk road, but from the bridge over the Genesee River becomes a highway, the Keeler Expressway. The highway has 2×3 lanes here, and it passes through the northern neighborhoods of Rochester, and through the 52,000-population suburb of Irondequoit. At Glen Haven, SR-590 ends on the highway, which runs to the east and south sides of Rochester. One then crosses Irondequoit Bay by bridge, and then enters the eastern suburbs where the road narrows to 2×2 lanes. After the last suburb the road becomes a normal main road again.

Buffalo
The highway begins in downtown Buffalo on Genesee Street. From there, the 2×3 lane highway heads northeast, through the city’s partially disused inner lane of neighborhoods. Many houses in this area have been demolished, and the rest are of poor quality because they date from before the 1950s. Many neighborhoods have a lot of vacancy or empty lots. On the east side of Buffalo, one crosses SR-198, a short highway north of downtown. SR-33 is then called the Kensington Expressway, and branches off to the east. One passes with 2×3 lanes through the eastern neighborhoods of Buffalo. Eventually it crosses Interstate 90, and the highway status also ends. The I-90 runs fromCleveland to Boston.
SR-33 then continues as a main road through a few eastern suburbs, soon reaching the countryside. You also pass the Buffalo International Airport. The route then runs parallel to Interstate 90.
Rochester
The only larger town on the route is Batavia, which also has an exit from the New York State Thruway, or Interstate 90. The road then curves northeast, and then parallels Interstate 490 to Rochester, a city of 208,000 inhabitants and an agglomeration of one million inhabitants. In the southwestern neighborhoods of Rochester, one intersects with I-490, after which the main road ends in downtown Rochester.
History
The Kensington Expressway was built to connect Downtown Buffalo to the airport. The construction of this started around 1961. The highway was mainly opened to traffic in 1964-1965. There used to be plans to connect the highway through downtown Buffalo to I-190, but that never came to fruition.
Traffic intensities
From the center of Buffalo, the intensities rise from 60,000 to 120,000 vehicles, which quickly drops to below 5,000 vehicles after the airport. In Rochester, the road is also not very busy with up to 17,000 vehicles per day.
