North of this location, NY 304 gains a speed limit as it passes through several at-grade intersections. The road narrows to two lanes at a junction with CR 80, but stays a road. Finally, after crossing CR 23 in north New City, NY 304 makes its final push toward its northern terminus at an intersection with US 9W just inside the Haverstraw town line. The intersection between NY 304 and US 9W is less than one mile (1.6 km) north of the intersection of NY 303 and US 9W, which also serves as NY 303's northern terminus.
