U.S. Route 9 (US 9) is a part of the United States Numbered Highway System that runs from Laurel, Delaware, to Champlain, New York. In New York, US 9 extends 324.72 miles (522.59 km) from the George Washington Bridge in Manhattan to an interchange with Interstate 87 (I-87) just south of the Canadian border in the town of Champlain. US 9 is the longest north–south U.S. Highway in New York. The portion of US 9 in New York accounts for more than half of the highway's total length.
The section of US 9 in New York passes through busy urban neighborhoods, suburban strips, and forested wilderness. It is known as
US 9 spawns more letter-suffixed state highways than any other route in New York, including the longest, 143-mile (230 km)
Route description
The New York segment of US 9 can be divided into the section south of Albany, which parallels the
New York City and the Hudson Valley
US 9 enters New York as part of an expressway, soon becoming a surface street and major urban and suburban artery. Outside of the expressway portions, it is mostly a two- or four-lane road save for a lengthy four-lane strip that leads into one of the expressways. It runs near the river more frequently in the southern areas, but it is never very far inland.[12]
New York City
The concurrency between US 1 and US 9 that began in New Jersey ends at the first exit from I-95 on the George Washington Bridge, when US 9 heads north via 178th and 179th streets to Broadway. Broadway passes through the Washington Heights neighborhood and then into Inwood, the northernmost neighborhood on the island. The region in which US 9 passes through has a large Latino immigrant population.[13] The northernmost section of the New York City Subway's underground IND Eighth Avenue Line (A train) runs along Broadway between Dyckman Street and Inwood–207th Street stations. On the corner of 204th Street is the Dyckman House, the only original farmhouse left in Manhattan and a National Historic Landmark (NHL).[14]
Near the island's northern tip, at the intersection with 215th Street, the elevated
At or just south of 230th Street, US 9, still Broadway, enters
Westchester County
The northwestern corner of the park marks the city limit and US 9 enters Yonkers, where it is now known as South Broadway. It trends closer to the Hudson River, remaining a busy urban commercial street. In downtown Yonkers, it drops close to the river, becomes North Broadway and NY 9A leaves via Ashburton Avenue. US 9 climbs to the nearby ridgetop runs parallel to the river and the railroad, a few blocks east of both as it passes St. John's Riverside Hospital. The neighborhoods become more residential and the road gently undulates along the ridgetop.[10] In Yonkers, US 9 passes Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site, which dates back to colonial America.[15]
It remains Broadway as it leaves Yonkers for
In the next village,
North of here, at the Kraft Foods technical center, the Tappan Zee Bridge becomes visible. After crossing over the New York State Thruway and I-87, here concurrent with I-287, and then intersecting with the four-lane NY 119, where NY 119 splits off to the east, US 9 becomes the busy main street of Tarrytown. Christ Episcopal Church, where Irving worshiped,[17] is along the street. Many high quality restaurants and shops are along this main road. This downtown ends at the eastern terminus of NY 448, where US 9 slopes off to the left, downhill, and two signs indicate that US 9 turns left, passing the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow, another NHL. The road then enters Sleepy Hollow (formerly North Tarrytown), passing the visitors' center for Kykuit, the NHL that was (and partially still is) the Rockefeller family's estate.[10] US 9 then passes historic Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, which includes the resting place of Washington Irving and the setting for "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".[18]
US 9 expands to four lanes at the trumpet intersection with NY 117; Broadway finally ends and US 9 becomes Albany Post Road. Entering Ossining's downtown, US 9 becomes Highland Avenue and continues to rise and fall, widen and narrow, through the riverside community.[10] US 9 passes in close proximity to Sing Sing correctional facility before heading toward Croton.[19]
Croton Expressway
Just after Ossining, NY 9A returns and merges with US 9 as it crosses the mouth of the
The expressway veers inland for much of its route, preferring to follow the railroad tracks (the new Cortlandt station is visible to the west at one point), rather than the river past the promontory at Buchanan. NY 9A, as a surface street, ends at its parent at the Welcher Street exit. It continues on a reconstructed, widened section through Peekskill. Despite recent upgrades to freeway standards, the northern end of the highway still maintains a lower 45-mile-per-hour (72 km/h) speed limit.
One mile (1.6 km) from the freeway's northern terminus, US 202 and US 6 join the freeway. NY 35 reaches its western terminus at that same junction. The four-lane freeway's northern terminus is at a stoplight at a three-way intersection with the Bear Mountain State Parkway. The parkway continues straight from this intersection while US 6/US 9/US 202 turns left and crosses Annsville Creek.[10]
Peekskill to Poughkeepsie
The routes enter the Annsville
US 9 passes Dutchess Mall, a dead mall, before passing the historic Van Wyck Homestead Museum. In Fishkill, the route meets I-84. At the Interstate exit, the road expands into a four-lane strip similar to the form it takes in Central New Jersey, complete with much commercial development on both sides. It will remain this way to Poughkeepsie. This stretch is an important, if often congested, transportation artery for the county.[10]
Just north of I-84, US 9 clips off a corner of the village of Fishkill, where the intersection with NY 52 creates a heavily congested situation at rush hours since traffic going from southbound US 9 to westbound I-84 often uses it as a shortcut. The remaining miles to Wappingers Falls boast many intersections as well but are not quite as heavy.[10]
In the town of
Poughkeepsie to Albany
North of Poughkeepsie, US 9 is at first a busy four-lane undivided route, with occasional turn lanes as it approaches Hyde Park, passing Marist College, the main campus of the Culinary Institute of America and then the home and presidential library of native Franklin D. Roosevelt. It narrows to two lanes at the built-up area that marks the center of town, then opens up a turn lane for traffic entering the third of the town's tourist attractions, Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site.[10]
Past Hyde Park, the road narrows to two lanes again as traffic becomes more local. The area recalls Westchester County with many wooded tracts and stone walls at roadside. Through here, it has been running fairly close to the river, but, after Staatsburg, the highway begins to veer inland again. The land to the west, between road and river, forms the Hudson River Historic District, the largest in the country and another National Historic Landmark. US 9 is at least two miles (3.2 km) east of the river when it reaches Rhinebeck, the next town along the route, where NY 308 heads off to the east,[10] and close to the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome aviation museum.
At Weys Corners, the X-shaped intersection north of Rhinebeck, northbound traffic to the river and the Kingston–Rhinecliff Bridge via NY 199 typically bears left onto NY 9G. Southbound traffic, in turn, takes NY 199 itself to the river when the two meet in Red Hook three miles (4.8 km) further ahead. Two blocks north of that junction are the Village Diner, originally named the Halfway Diner since it was roughly halfway along US 9 from New York City to Albany, and the Elmendorph Inn, a mid-18th century counterpart to the diner. North of Red Hook, the land around the road begins to open up into farms and fields, offering frequent views of the Catskill Escarpment across the river. This terrain continues into Columbia County, which US 9 enters five miles (8.0 km) beyond Red Hook.[10]
The road remains two lanes, with mostly local traffic and no stop signs or traffic lights, until the oblique four-way intersection in
On the east fringe of Hudson's historic downtown, US 9 intersects the northern terminus of NY 9G and NY 23B. NY 23B runs concurrent with US 9 for a short distance eastward before splitting at Fairview Avenue, which US 9 follows out of Hudson. A commercial strip with turn lane gives way after 1.75 miles (2.82 km) to the lightly traveled rural two-lane US 9 north of Hudson. Near Stockport, US 9 meets the southern terminus of NY 9J. Farther north, after passing through Kinderhook, home of another U.S. president, Martin Van Buren, the road passes under NY 9H at a grade-separated interchange before intersecting the northern terminus of NY 9H a short distance later outside Valatie.[10] When a developer wanted to add a fifth leg to this intersection for a new shopping center, the New York State Department of Transportation required the developer to convert the signalized intersection to a roundabout, despite heavy local opposition.[23]
The highway widens to four lanes with a turn lane shortly after crossing into Renesslaer County and will remain so for most of the rest of the way to Albany, despite limited development and low traffic in some areas. Within a mile (1.6 km) of the county line it passes under the New York State Thruway Berkshire Connector and meets the lone section of I-90 in New York not part of the thruway system, at exit 12 southeast of Castleton-on-Hudson. Four miles (6.4 km) north of I-90 and four miles (6.4 km) northwest of Nassau, US 9 veers left to merge with US 20 in Schodack Center, and, together, they progress northwest toward Albany. Less than 0.5 miles (0.80 km) from the eastern terminus of the overlap, US 9 and US 20 intersect NY 150 before connecting to I-90 at exit 11.[10]
As the roadway heads westward, it meets the western (southern for state purposes) terminus of US 4 across from a Hannaford Brothers Company supermarket along the busy commercial strip in East Greenbush. Shortly afterward, the first sign of the state capital, the Erastus Corning Tower, starts becoming visible. At a bluff east of the river, the entire Albany skyline comes into view as the road descends, passing the northern terminus of NY 9J south of Rensselaer. US 9 and US 20 then cross the Hudson River via the Dunn Memorial Bridge into Albany as Corning Tower and the other buildings of the Empire State Plaza loom ahead, and the two routes separate, with US 20 heading west across the city.[10]
Albany and North
North of Albany, US 9 starts to pull away from the Hudson corridor, eventually picking up I-87, now the Adirondack Northway.
Albany to Saratoga Springs
After the bridge, US 9 runs under I-787 for several blocks, then takes an offramp past the Albany Pump Station to become Clinton Avenue. There, it intersects the two routes which have paralleled US 9 up the west side of the Hudson. At Pearl Street and the Palace Theatre, it crosses NY 32 (North Pearl Street), which continues north, and US 9W (Lark Street), which ends at the junction. US 9 turns north on Henry Johnson Boulevard and widens to cross I-90 again via a flyover originally built for the canceled Mid-Crosstown Arterial, exiting the city of Albany in the process.[10]
Just before reaching the northern suburb of Colonie, US 9 returns to two lanes and follows Loudon Road through well-to-do residential neighborhoods past Albany Memorial Hospital and Wolferts Roost Country Club. The short NY 377 forks off to the north while US 9 trends slightly westward. A five-way intersection marks Loudonville. Siena College in Newtonville is on the east side a mile (1.6 km) past the junction, with the Colonie Town Hall opposite.[10]
Continuing northward into Latham, the highway adds a middle turn lane. NY 155 intersects as the Northway draws near to the west. Beyond, the road expands to four lanes and commercial property resumes. At the Latham Circle, US 9 crosses beneath NY 2. A mile (1.6 km) further north, the expressway portion of NY 7 crosses over for eastbound traffic and then NY 9R goes off to the east, to return two miles (3.2 km) further north. At the junction, US 9 starts to trend eastward again, away from the Northway and finally crosses the Mohawk River into Saratoga County via the Crescent Bridge at the northernmost point of Albany County.[10]
A new name, Halfmoon Parkway, comes with the change of county, after the
US 9 itself has its first exit with the Northway, its first junction with I-87 since Tarrytown in fact, two miles (3.2 km) north of NY 9P. This full cloverleaf is the main exit for Saratoga Springs. The resort town's historic downtown is four miles (6.4 km) ahead, past Saratoga Spa State and Congress parks. Here, US 9, as South Broadway, begins a concurrency with NY 50 and, later, briefly, with NY 29. NY 9P completes its loop here, and another lettered route, NY 9N, the longest letter-suffixed route in the state, begins at the post office. Tacking eastward out of town, US 9 and NY 50 follow Van Dam Street until US 9 returns to a northerly course on Marion Avenue, which becomes Maple Avenue at the city limit.[10]
Saratoga Springs to Lake George
Once past the sleeve of development around the highway north of the city, US 9 leaves the Capital District as it gets less developed through Wilton and Moreau. The Palmerstown Range begins to rise on one side, anticipating the mountainous country to come. From the hamlet of Kings Station onward, what is now signed as Saratoga Road follows a straight northeast course for 10 miles (16 km) through more wooded countryside to the entrance to Moreau Lake State Park. A mile (1.6 km) further on, US 9 again intersects the Northway at exit 17.[10]
Another 1.5 miles (2.4 km) brings it to the western end of NY 197 (Reynolds Road). US 9 continues straight ahead for the next three miles (4.8 km) into the village of South Glens Falls, where NY 32 (Gansevoort Road) comes in at an oblique angle from the south and merges with US 9 to cross the Hudson via the Cooper's Cave Bridge for the last time, leaving Saratoga County and entering the Warren County city of Glens Falls.[10]
The two routes follow Glen Street to Centennial Circle, a five-legged roundabout in the center of the city's downtown area, where NY 32 leaves to the right via Warren Street and NY 9L takes Ridge Street due north. US 9 continues via Glen to the northwest, becoming Upper Glen Street at the city limit. NY 254 (Aviation Road) comes in from its nearby western terminus at the Northway. The highway remains heavily developed for the next three miles (4.8 km) to a junction with another route beginning at I-87, NY 149. It joins with US 9 briefly before leaving to the east north of the Adirondack–Lake George Outlet Mall. Many vehicles make that turn, as NY 149 is the best route from the Northway into southern Vermont, 30 miles (48 km) to the east.[10]
US 9 continues to parallel the Interstate. At the
It takes the name Canada Street, and NY 9N comes in from the west to run concurrently with. The two routes widen to a busy four-lane road past shops catering to a busy tourist trade. Shortly thereafter, NY 9L loops back to the parent route, after having followed the east shore of the lake that gives the village its name. At the northern end of the village of Lake George, NY 9N splits via Lake Shore Drive to follow the western shore, and US 9 itself takes a northwesterly turn to remain parallel with the Northway.[10]
Adirondack Park
Past Lake George, US 9 enters the
After Lake George, there is another exit with the Northway, to ease access to the village by southbound traffic. US 9 remains very close to the Northway on its east side, resulting in another exit four miles (6.4 km) north. This serves Warrensburg, where NY 418 reaches its eastern terminus. The highway begins to move further away from the interstate, and, three miles (4.8 km) further, NY 28 concludes its long bow-shaped route at a junction with US 9.[10]
Nearly nine miles (14 km) north, at Chestertown, US 9 meets and joins NY 8, which carries it due west almost four miles (6.4 km) to Loon Lake. After crossing over a southwestern bay of the lake, US 9 turns right and is once again on its own, trending northeast alongside the lake's western shore to eventually reach the Northway again in four miles (6.4 km). This exit serves only northbound traffic. A mile (1.6 km) later, there is access to the other direction.[10]
The road begins to run along the west shore of
US 9 remains close to the interstate for the next 16 miles (26 km) into the town of
The right turn takes it again to the northeast past
While the land remains mostly forested as the road continues its northeast course from Elizabethtown, it begins to descend somewhat as the valley of Lake Champlain draws near. US 9 eventually draws close to the Northway again at Poke-O-Moonshine Mountain, the Adirondacks' most popular climbing spot. In Chesterfield, 18 miles (29 km) without a major highway junction are ended when NY 22 joins US 9 after its exit, the first pairing of two highways that begin their journey upstate in New York City.[10]
The two routes enter Keeseville, where, in mid-village, they cross the Ausable River and enter Clinton County. NY 9N reappears here, reaching its northern terminus. North of the village, the two routes split again and exchange the roles they had been playing for their entire northward journey. US 9 takes the eastward fork to the lake, running close to the state's edge; while NY 22 will run inland from here to the border.[10]
After Keeseville, US 9 follows AuSable Chasm down to the lake shore. It crosses the Ausable and briefly reenters Essex County long enough for the short

US 9 runs straight due north, no longer taking another name, three miles (4.8 km) to the next major intersection, NY 9B (Lavalley Road), its last subroute. NY 9B does not terminate but instead runs to the lake shore and eventually north to Rouses Point. A bend slightly to the west, closer to the Northway, brings the next three-mile (4.8 km) stretch to US 9's last major intersection, US 11, just south of Champlain.[10]
US 9 winds through the quiet border village as its Main Street, turning west-northwest near Champlain's northern boundary to make its last water crossing over the Chazy River. The route, still known as Main Street, heads northwest toward the Northway to follow it for the last 0.5 miles (0.80 km), passing a few customs brokerages toward its official end at the on-ramp to the last exit. Traffic to Canada must get on I-87 here.[10]
The roadway continues as the East Service Road, unsigned NY 971B, for another 0.46 miles (0.74 km).[1] This was the former route of US 9 to the border prior to the construction of the Northway. It is devoid of any development save some long vacant and abandoned lots, finally ending in a parking lot 400 feet (120 m) south of the border from which the Canadian customs station at the south end of Autoroute 15 is visible.[10]
History
Origins
South of Albany, the main route of travel before the 20th century was the Albany Post Road, wending from New York City to a ferry at Greenbush. North of Albany, US 9 replaced the Great Northern Road, which ran from the Hudson River near Glen Falls through Schroon Lake and Elizabethtown to the Canadian border; this road became a toll road in the 1800s, known as the Great Northern Turnpike.[25] In the early 20th century, much of the Albany Post Road was signed as an auto trail of the same name, though south of Tarrytown the trail skewed eastward along Nepperan and Sleepy Hollow roads to Elmsford; Hartsdale Road to Hartsdale; Central Avenue, Jerome Avenue, and the Grand Concourse to Manhattan; and 149th Street, 7th Avenue, 110th Street, and 5th Avenue to Washington Square.[26]
Much of what is now US 9 in New York was assigned an unsigned legislative route designation by the New York State Legislature in 1908. Route 2 joined modern US 9 at Archville (north of Tarrytown) and followed it north to Croton-on-Hudson, where it turned off to the northeast on modern NY 129. The legislative route rejoined what is now US 9 at Peekskill and remained on it to Valatie, where it met Route 1. Route 2 ended here while Route 1 continued north to Albany on current US 9. From Albany to Clifton Park and from South Glens Falls to Riparius, modern US 9 was part of Route 25. At Riparius, Route 25 met Route 22, which utilized what is now US 9 from Riparius to Elizabethtown and from Keeseville to the town of Champlain. While modern US 9 travels directly from Elizabethtown to Keeseville and bypasses Rouses Point to the west, Route 25 used current NY 9N between Elizabethtown and Keeseville and served Rouses Point via modern NY 9B.[27][28] Route 2 and Route 25 were realigned slightly on March 1, 1921, to utilize the modern US 9 corridor from Croton-on-Hudson to Peekskill and from Saratoga Springs to South Glens Falls, respectively.[29]
When the first set of posted routes in New York were assigned in 1924, the general routing of modern US 9 was designated as New York State Route 6 (NY 6), which went from the

In the mid-1940s, the northern end of US 9 was realigned to enter Canada via Champlain instead of Rouses Point. The old route through Rouses Point became
Croton Expressway
Since the 1940s, an expressway along the US 9 corridor on the east bank of the Hudson River had been planned. Part of the route later became the New York State Thruway (up to Tarrytown). In 1956, there were plans to continue the expressway further north to I-84 in Beacon and beyond. This was one of the proposed alignments for I-87.[51]
In early 1965, this unconstructed expressway was assigned the designation I-487, allowing a commercial-vehicle-accessible means of travel on the east side of the Hudson River. By 1967, strong resident opposition caused the segment from Peekskill to Beacon to be canceled. In 1971, the section from Tarrytown to Ossining had also been canceled due to lack of public support. The only portion that was ever built was the section from Crotonville to Peekskill and was later named the Croton Expressway. The Croton Expressway opened in 1967 with the US 9 designation.[51] The original surface alignment of US 9 became an extension of NY 9A.[48]
Other developments
In Albany, US 9 was planned to be upgraded to an expressway. It was to run west from the Dunn Memorial Bridge along the South Mall Arterial (cosigned with US 20), then north along the northern half of the Mid-Crosstown Arterial. The southern half would carry US 9W. The Mid-Crosstown Arterial would have begun at the junction of I-787 and the New York State Thruway, connect with the South Mall Arterial at an underground interchange at Washington Park, and continue north to a junction with I-90. The only portion that was actually constructed was in the vicinity of the I-90 interchange (exit 6).[52]
A study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 2009 found that US 9 was the deadliest highway in Dutchess County, with 47 fatal accidents on the road in the 1994–2008 period. Police in the town of Poughkeepsie blamed it on the increasing commercialization of US 9 south of the city of Poughkeepsie.[53]
Suffixed routes
US 9 has had 19 suffixed routes bearing 17 different designations. Most are still in place; however, nine have been removed or renumbered. All the routes were assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York unless otherwise noted.[37][40]
- NY 9A (47.49 mi or 76.43 km) is an alternate route of US 9 through Manhattan and Westchester County.[1]
- NY 9B (5.97 mi or 9.61 km) is a spur in Clinton County linking US 9 in Chazy to US 11 in Rouses Point.[1] It was assigned in the mid-1940s.[45][46]
- The NY 9C designation has been used for two distinct highways:
- The first NY 9C was an alternate route assigned to what is now US 9 between Albany and Round Lake in the 1920s. It became part of US 9 in the 1930 renumbering.[37]
- The second NY 9C was an alternate route of US 9 between Croton-on-Hudson and Peekskill, utilizing Mount Airy Road and Washington Street. The designation was eliminated in the early 1930s.[54][55]
- NY 9D (25.21 mi or 40.57 km) is an alternate route of US 9 between the Bear Mountain Bridge and Wappingers Falls.[1]
- NY 9E was a spur linking US 9 to NY 376 (near Dutchess County Airport, present-day Hudson Valley Regional Airport) in the vicinity of Wappingers Falls, Dutchess County. It was assigned c. 1933[54][56] and removed c. 1939.[57][58] The route, named New Hackensack Road, is now designated as CR 104 by Dutchess County.
- NY 9F was an alternate route of US 9 between Poughkeepsie and Hyde Park in Dutchess County. It became part of NY 9G c. 1938.[57][59]
- NY 9G (42.77 mi or 68.83 km) is an alternate route of US 9 from Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, to Hudson, Columbia County.[1]
- NY 9J (22.38 mi or 36.02 km) is an alternate route of US 9 from Columbiaville to Rensselaer. NY 9J follows a more westerly alignment than US 9 to serve a series of communities along the Hudson River.[1]
- NY 9K was an alternate route of US 9 between Saratoga Springs and Lake George. It was supplanted by an extended NY 9N in November 1953.[61]
- NY 9L (18.54 mi or 29.84 km) is a loop off of US 9 between Glens Falls and Lake George in Warren County.[1]
- NY 9N (143.13 mi or 230.35 km) is a lengthy alternate route of US 9 between Saratoga Springs and Keeseville. NY 9N is the longest suffixed route in New York.[1]
- NY 9P (12.17 mi or 19.59 km) is a loop route connecting US 9 to Saratoga Lake southeast of Saratoga Springs.[1] It was assigned c. 1936.[55][62]
- NY 9R (3.21 mi or 5.17 km) is a short loop serving Colonie in northeast Albany County.[1] It was assigned c. 1939.[58][63]
- NY 9W, different from present US 9W, was an alternate route of US 9 between Elizabethtown and Keeseville. It was assigned in 1927[35] and renumbered to NY 9N in the 1930 renumbering.[38]
- The NY 9X designation has been used for two distinct highways:
- The
- The second NY 9X was an alternate route of US 9 through New York City in the vicinity of the Harlem River. It was assigned in the mid-1930s[55][59] and removed in the 1940s.[46][64]
