Establish context by mentioning the country (i.e. United States).
There are a lot of place names not wikilinked: Orange County, Sloatsburg etc.
I presume NY 17 is New York State Route 17? Always type out the first occurrence of abbreviations.
The history section seems a bit unfocused. The first paragraph seems to be about Sloatsburg, not the county route. Also, what sort of numbering or ownership scheme was in place before 1982? Or am I misundersanding the text, and it was numbered 1 prior to 1982? When did the road come into existence, when was it upgraded from a track to a road, when was it first asphalted/made two lanes etc? There is no mention of the infrastructure, just the numbering in the history.
