High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! New York State Route 31E (NY 31E) is a 5.29-mile (8.51 km) state highway located in Western New York in the United States. It serves as a northerly alternate route of NY 31 between the village of Middleport in eastern Niagara County and the nearby village of Medina in Orleans County. NY 31E connects to NY 31 at each end by way of short overlaps with NY 271 and NY 63 in Middleport and Medina, respectively. Most of NY 31E parallels the Erie Canal, and parts of the route run adjacent to the waterway. Outside of the two villages at each end, NY 31E traverses mostly rural areas of the towns of Royalton and Ridgeway.
