[edit] Greene County

NY 145 begins outside the hamlet of Cairo. The route formerly started within the hamlet along a concurrency with an old alignment of New York State Route 23 (now CR 23B) at the western terminus of NY 23's concurrency with NY 32.^[1] Physical evidence of this remains, as the first reference marker visible on NY 145 has digits 1 0 0 8, where 1 0 0 0 would normally be displayed at a terminus or county line.

NY 145 follows a northwesterly course, passing by many resort-type businesses including camping and swimming, both near Cairo and in Durham. Some light industry is also present.

[edit] Albany County

NY 145 is in Albany County for just five miles, where it meets the western terminus of NY 81 in Cooksburg. Running parallel to Fox Creek, additional camping and souvenir vendors are present.

[edit] Schoharie County

NY 145 continues its northwesterly course for an additional two miles, then bends to be more northward to pass by the hamlets of Livingstonville and Franklinton. Approaching the Schoharie Valley, NY 145 heads downhill along a lengthy stretch that includes a passing lane for southbound traffic. At the bottom of the hill, NY 145 enters Middleburgh as Main Street. In Middleburgh, there is a 1.2-mile wrong-way duplex with NY 30 over the Schoharie Creek.

After crossing the creek, NY 145 leaves NY 30 and parallels it briefly to the west, then heading more northwesterly again. Leaving the Schoharie valley, a passing lane is present northbound. Levelling off, NY 145 heads more westerly, meeting I-88 at exit 22, meeting NY 7 east of Cobleskill.

NY 145 then has a westward concurrency with NY 7 to Cobleskill as East Main Street, meeting NY 10 in downtown. NY 10 joins NY 7 for a concurrency westward, while NY 145 leaves NY 7 and joins NY 10 as North Grand Street for a .23-mile concurrency within the village. Leaving Cobleskill, NY 145 passes through the hamlet of Lawyersville before terminating at US 20 between the hamlets of Sharon and Carlisle.
