The NY 399 designation remained unchanged up through the late 1950s to the early 1960s, when it was removed. Part of NY 399's former routing on Sweet Road was physically removed by 1970, severing the Cork–Meco through route.
On April 1, 1980, ownership and maintenance of old NY 399 between North Bush Road (County Route 131) and Peck Road was transferred from the state of New York

as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government. Following the swap, the highway became part of CR 101, which had already been designated along NY 399's former alignment between Peck Road and NY 29A. The remainder of NY 399's intact routing is now maintained by the town of Johnstown
