New York State Route 840 (NY 840) is an east–west state highway in Oneida County, New York, in the United States. It is a 4.02-mile (6.47 km) superhighway extension of Judd Road (County Route 840 or CR 840), which ends at Halsey Road (County Route 52 or CR 52) in Whitestown. The western terminus of NY 840 is at the junction of Judd and Halsey roads while its eastern terminus is at an interchange with the North–South Arterial (NY 5, NY 8, and NY 12) near the southern city line of Utica. NY 840 opened to traffic in 2005, and the road was ceremoniously designated as the Officer Joseph D. Corr Memorial Highway in 2007. In 2008, part of Judd Road was redesignated as CR 840 to match the designation of its state highway continuation.
NY 840 begins at an intersection with Halsey Road (CR 52) and Judd Road in the town of Whitestown. North of this junction, NY 840 continues as Judd Road, designated as CR 840. NY 840 initially heads south as a four-lane undivided highway through a rural portion of Oneida County to a junction with Clark Mills Road (CR 19), where it turns southeast to parallel a set of high-voltage power lines through the town. Upon crossing into the town of New Hartford, NY 840 becomes a limited-access highway and turns again to follow a more easterly routing.
As NY 840 approaches the residential outskirts of Utica, it connects to Middle Settlement Road (CR 30) by way of a Partial cloverleaf interchange. East of the junction, the route curves southeastward and enters a major commercial district, where it intersects NY 5A by way of a single-point urban interchange. The district is confined mostly to the vicinity of NY 5A, however, and NY 840 proceeds southeast through residential neighborhoods and around pockets of commercial development to a cloverleaf interchange with the North–South Arterial (NY 5, NY 8, and NY 12) near the southern city line of Utica. NY 840 ends here; however, the highway continues southeast through the interchange as NY 8.
