US 9 is a major north/south route in New York State, running parallel to the
Hudson River for much of its length. It enters New York from New Jersey on the
George Washington Bridge, multiplexed with I-95 and US 1. It continues
multiplexed along the very beginning of the Cross Bronx Expressway in Manhattan
before splitting off at the very first exit and running north along Broadway.
It follows Broadway north through Inwood, the northernmost area of Manhattan, and
then over the Broadway Bridge to the Bronx. Broadway runs through a
suburban-like area of the Bronx known as Riverdale. There is an interchange with
the Henry Hudson Parkway, which is designated NY 9A to the south. NY 9A splits
off from the parkway and is multiplexed with US 9 along Broadway.
Broadway continues north, crossing into Yonkers in Westchester County. NY 9A
splits off onto Ashburton Avenue, while Broadway continues as US 9, passing
through the various towns and villages along the Hudson River in Westchester.
In Tarrytown, it has an interchange with the New York Thruway (I-87) just east of
the Tappan Zee Bridge. A short distance to the north, in Sleepy Hollow, it
changes names to become Albany Post Road. It then becomes South Highland Avenue
and North Highland Avenue. In Ossining, US 9 merges with the
Briarcliff-Peekskill Parkway, a limited-access highway that is designated NY 9A
to the south. US 9 and NY 9A are multiplexed for a short distance again before
NY 9A splits off to follow the local streets. US 9 continues north along the
parkway to Peekskill, where it has an interchange with US 6/US 202, which
provides access to the Bear Mountain Bridge. The parkway ends at this point, and
US 9 once again becomes a local street. It is known here as Albany Post Road, a
name that it will carry through much of the Hudson Valley.
In Fishkill, there is an interchange with I-84 near the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge.
US 9 continues north to Poughkeepsie, where is known as South Road and North
Road. It becomes a limited-access highway for a very short stretch, where there
is an interchange with US 44/NY 55 near the Mid-Hudson Bridge. North of
Poughkeepsie, it is known as Albany Post Road once again. It continues through
the Hudson Valley. It is known in many areas as Albany Post Road, although it
takes on other names in some of the more major towns.
Eventually, US 9 passes under the Berkshires Section of the New York Thruway and
then has an interchange with the free section of I-90, the easternmost
interchange on I-90 before it rejoins the Thruway. A short distance to the
north, US 9 merges with US 20 to form a road known as Columbia Turnpike, which
has another interchange with I-90 and then runs northwest to the Hudson River in
Rensselaer. US 9/US 20 crosses the river to Albany on the Dunn Memorial Bridge.
On the other side of the river, the two routes split. US 9 runs west along
Clinton Avenue. US 9W has its northern terminus at US 9 along Clinton Avenue in
Albany. Just past this intersection, US 9 turns back to the north along Henry
Johnson Boulevard. Heading out of Albany, US 9 has a third interchange with I-90
and then changes names once again to become Loudon Road.
US 9 continues north to Saratoga Springs and then through the Adirondack
Mountains. It takes on a number of different names in the more major towns and
has no name in some of the more rural areas. It ends at the Northway (I-87) in
Champlain, just south of the border with Canada.
