New York State Route 182 (NY 182) is a 6.18-mile (9.95 km) state highway in Niagara County, New York, in the United States. It serves as a signed connection between the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge over the Niagara River and the Niagara Falls International Airport east of the city of Niagara Falls. From the bridge, NY 182 runs across the city of Niagara Falls, following several local streets as it makes its way to an intersection with U.S. Route 62 (US 62) in Wheatfield. The route was originally designated as New York State Route 18D in the early 1930s. It gained its current designation in the early 1960s.
NY 182 begins at Whirlpool Street's intersection with the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge in the northern part of Niagara Falls. From here, the route heads south on Whirlpool Street, a two-lane, at-grade road that parallels the Robert Moses State Parkway through most of the city. After two residential blocks, the route turns east onto Cleveland Avenue, leaving the vicinity of the Niagara River and entering a mixed-use area surrounding Cleveland Avenue's nearby intersection with Main Street (NY 104). Past this junction, NY 182 passes two more blocks of homes before veering northeast onto Lockport Street. The route turns again just two blocks later to proceed east on Ontario Avenue.
The highway passes several more residential blocks ahead of an intersection with Hyde Park Boulevard (NY 61). Here, NY 182 turns southeastward, creating a short three-block overlap between NY 61 and NY 182. The concurrency ends at Porter Road, where NY 182 splits from NY 61 and resumes an eastward track across the city. It soon passes through the center of Hyde Park before leaving Niagara Falls for the town of Niagara. Just past the city line, NY 182 enters a commercial and industrial area surrounding Interstate 190 (I-190) exit 23. Porter Road ends shortly afterward at a junction with Packard Road, leaving NY 182 to follow Packard Road as it intersects Military Road (NY 265).
