In between, NY 98 serves the city of Batavia, connects to the New York State Thruway (Interstate 90 or I-90), and passes by the Attica Correctional Facility.

The extension into Salamanca was eliminated in the 1960s, while the route was extended north to meet the Lake Ontario Parkway in the 1970s.

At the hamlet, NY 98 turns back to the northwest and crosses into Wyoming County and the town of Arcade.

[citation needed] Across the county line, the amount of development along the route increases as NY 98 enters the village of Arcade on Liberty Street.

The route continues across a mixture of cultivated fields and forests to North Java, a small hamlet located at the junction between NY 98 and Perry and Wethersfield Roads.

Not far to the north is the Java–Sheldon town line, where NY 98 curves to follow a slightly northeastward alignment across Sheldon.

Due to the terrain of the area, the routing of NY 98 is fairly isolated from the remainder of the county until it reaches the outskirts of the village of Attica.

The route enters the village shortly afterward, following High Street through the lightly developed southern half of Attica.

[citation needed] Across the county line in the town of Alexander, NY 98 passes through lightly but consistently populated areas that serve as the suburbs of Batavia.

Within the city, NY 98 continues to run through mostly residential areas as it crosses the Depew, Lancaster and Western Railroad at-grade.

While NY 33 heads southeast toward downtown Batavia, NY 98 continues north on Oak Street through a residential part of the city to the northern city limits, coming back to the town of Batavia, where it connects to the New York State Thruway (I-90) via an interchange south of the Genesee County Airport.

Just north of the village limits, Oak Orchard Road leaves NY 98 to follow a more easterly routing into Orleans County.

About 0.5 miles (0.8 km) south of Orleans County, NY 98 passes through a marshy area and crosses over Oak Orchard Creek, here contained within a canal that takes the stream through the nearby swamps.

[4][5] Past CR 99, Oak Orchard Road returns from its eastern sojourn and carries NY 98 as it heads across firmer areas through Barre Center and crosses into the town of Albion.

On the other side of the canal, the route enters the town of Gaines before exiting the Albion village limits.

NY 98, meanwhile, crosses over a small tributary known as Marsh Creek and meets Oak Orchard River Road on the northern bank.

From here, NY 98 continues northward along the eastern edge of Oak Orchard Creek as Point Breeze Road to an interchange with the Lake Ontario State Parkway, where NY 98 terminates just 0.5 miles (0.8 km) south of Lake Ontario.

[28] The segment of Point Breeze Road from the parkway to the Lake Ontario shoreline remains county maintained as CR 37.
