The NY 198 corridor was originally served by Scajaqueda Drive and Humboldt Parkway, which were two surface streets through Delaware Park. They were upgraded to a freeway known as the Scajaqueda Expressway (NY 198) in the 1960s, connecting NY 33 to I-190. Resident opposition to the expressway has always been high, and a fatal crash in 2015 resulted in a speed limit reduction from 50 to 30, the installation of guiderail, removal of the mile markers, and a restriping of the road to narrow lanes and eliminate acceleration/deceleration lanes. The crash also caused the movement to remove the freeway to become more active.
