New York State Route 232 (NY 232) is a short state highway located within the town of Watertown in Jefferson County, New York, in the United States. It extends for 2.44 miles (3.93 km) from an interchange with Interstate 81 (I-81) near the community of Rices to a junction with U.S. Route 11 (US 11) southwest of Watertown Center. The route connects to County Route 64 (CR 64) at its western terminus and intersects CR 65 east of Rices. NY 232 was assigned in the early 1960s, originally using what is now Old Rices Road near I-81. It was moved onto a new alignment to the south in the late 1960s.
NY 232 begins at the ramps leading to and from I-81 northbound at exit 44 southwest of the hamlet of Rices. The ramps also serve as the north end of CR 64, which continues south from I-81 to US 11 in the town of Adams. NY 232 heads northeast from the interchange, paralleling I-81 for a quarter-mile (0.4 km) to a four-way intersection with Old Rices Road and a state-maintained extension of CR 62. The latter highway is part of NY 970K, an unsigned reference route that links NY 232 to the southbound half of exit 44. At this point, NY 232 turns east, leaving the vicinity of I-81 to head through a rural area south of the city of Watertown.
