U.S. Route 9 (US 9) is a part of the
U.S. Highway System that runs from
Laurel, Delaware, to
Champlain, New York. In
New York
New York most commonly refers to:

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
Broadway in
Upper Manhattan,
the Bronx and much of
Westchester County, and uses parts of the old
Albany Post Road in the
Hudson Valley, where it passes the historic homes of a

segments in the mid-Hudson region. For much of its southern half it follows the
Hudson River closely; in the north it tracks I-87 (the
Adirondack Northway).
Route description

The New York segment of US 9 can be divided into the section south of Albany, which parallels the
Hudson River closely, and the portion north of Albany, which takes in a long section of the eastern
Adirondacks.
New York State Bicycle Route 9 follows the US 9 corridor, diverging from the route in areas not conducive to bicycling. For example, Bicycle Route 9 follows
US 9W in northern
New Jersey and
Rockland County, crosses the
Bear Mountain Bridge, and follows
NY 9D and
NY 301 back to US 9 in
Putnam County.
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.
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. The northernmost section of the

242nd Street station, the subway ends and Broadway runs along the west side of
Van Cortlandt Park. The
Henry Hudson Parkway interchange a mile up this stretch adds
NY 9A to US 9.
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

The grounds contain mineral springs, classical bath and spa houses, and the S ...
and
Congress Park. 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.
Saratoga Springs to Lake George
Once past the sleeve of development around the highway north of the city, US 9 leaves the
Albany metropolitan area as it gets less developed through
Wilton and

. 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 through more wooded countryside to the entrance to
Moreau Lake State Park. A mile further on, US 9 again intersects the Northway at exit 17.
Another brings it to the western end of
NY 197 (Reynolds Road). US 9 continues straight ahead for the next into the village of
South Glens Falls
South Glens Falls is a village in Saratoga County, New York, United States. The population was 3,518 at the 2010 census. The village is in the northern part of the Town of Moreau, south of the City of Glens Falls.

The two routes follow Glen Street to

, 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 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, to the east.
US 9 continues to parallel the interstate. At the
Queensbury-
Lake George town line, a massive wooden shingle lets drivers know they have crossed the
Blue Line into the
Adirondack Park. The route straightens out for the next into the village of
Lake George, a popular tourist destination.
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.
Adirondack Park
Past Lake George, US 9 enters the
Adirondack Park. The next of the highway runs through the eastern section of the largest
protected area

east of the
Mississippi, with vast tracts of
Forest Preserve kept "forever wild" per the state constitution. Accordingly, US 9 remains a two-lane rural road, often very close to the
Adirondack Northway, a section of
Interstate 87, throughout the park. Development, traffic and population are minimal, the surrounding land is heavily wooded and the two roads cover very long distances between very small towns.
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 north. This serves
Warrensburg, where
NY 418 reaches its eastern terminus. The highway begins to move further away from the interstate, and further,
NY 28 concludes its long bow-shaped route at a junction with US 9.
Nearly north, at
Chestertown, US 9 meets and joins
NY 8, which carries it due west almost 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 . This exit serves only northbound traffic. A mile later, there is access to the other direction.
The road begins to run along the west shore of
Schroon Lake, in the process crossing into
Essex County. Shortly after the county line, an access road leads to I-87 again. It is from here, past the hamlet of
Schroon Lake at the water's northern tip, that US 9 intersects
NY 74, like NY 254 and NY 149 fresh off its western terminus at the Northway. Signs at this junction use
Ticonderoga, to the east, as a
control city, an indication of how sparsely populated the park is.
US 9 remains close to the interstate for the next into the town of
North Hudson, where Boreas Road provides access to the
Dix Mountain Wilderness Area the southernmost in the

region. The highway again crosses the interstate to connect I-87 to the western terminus of
NY 73, the well-traveled scenic route to
Keene Valley and
Lake Placid. At this ornate junction, US 9 is at 1,155 feet (340 m) above sea level, the highest elevation it reaches along its entire length.
The right turn takes it again to the northeast past

New Russia. This stretch brings the highway to
Elizabethtown, the unincorporated
county seat and the first settlement US 9 has passed through since Warrensburg. NY 9N comes through town from the west; it and US 9 briefly overlap.
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

US 9 takes the eastward fork to the lake, running close to the state's edge; while 22 will run inland from here to the border.
After Keeseville, US 9 follows AuSable Chasm down to the lake shore. It crosses the Ausable and briefly re-enters Essex County long enough for the short

Lake Champlain, Plattsburgh and Canada
After US 9 passes
Ausable Marsh Wildlife Management Area and
NY 442 comes in from the east at the small hamlet of
Peru, US 9 heads down to the shore of the lake itself, which it will stay close to all the way into Plattsburgh as Lakes to Locks Passage. On clear days it is possible to see
Burlington across the water. Ahead lies Valcour Island. In the narrow, rocky strait between it and the shore, Benedict Arnold's hastily built fleet held off the British Army, British on October 11, 1776 in the Battle of Valcour Island in what is considered the first battle in History of the United States Navy, U.S. naval history. More recent military history is apparent shortly thereafter when US 9 passes now-closed Plattsburgh Air Force Base, a pillar of the regional economy Plattsburgh has struggled to replace.

When it actually enters Plattsburgh (city), New York, Plattsburgh, it becomes first U.S. Avenue, then Peru Street when it passes the Old Catholic Cemetery. The Saranac River draws alongside twice before US 9 takes a left turn at Bridge Street and crosses it. Just past the bridge, the highway turns left again onto City Hall Place at the center of town. US 9 passes in front of the City Hall (Plattsburgh, New York), City Hall designed by John Russell Pope, also the builder of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington. Two more quick lefts follow past the large obelisk of Riverside Park, onto Miller and Cornelia streets, and then US 9 turns right at the eastern terminus of the lengthy New York State Route 3, NY 3 to follow Margaret Street north and out of the city.
It bends northeast to return to the lake shore shortly after the city limit, following alongside Cumberland Bay. At the Dead Creek crossing, US 9 widens to four lanes for the first time since the Albany area to handle the heavy traffic at the junction with the eastern terminus of New York State Route 314, NY 314, which continues east on County Route 57 to another ferry connector, just southeast of the Northway. north of the junction, after North Country Shopping Center, the highway returns to two lanes and the name Lakes to Locks Passage as it overlooks Woodruff Pond and Treadwell Bay. I-87 is visible a thousand feet (305 m) to the east across the many open fields as the two roads parallel each other's turns closely.
Another short route, County Route 58, formerly New York State Route 456, NY 456, comes in from the west and terminates at US 9 shortly after the right turn for Point Au Roche State Park. Continuing northward, the road deviates to the east slightly in the Chazy, New York, Town of Chazy, but returns to its previous track by the interstate at the Little Chazy River bridge. Shortly afterwards, US 9 intersects County Route 23 (Miner Farm Road, formerly New York State Route 191, NY 191 west of US 9).
US 9 runs straight due north, no longer taking another name, to the next major intersection, New York State Route 9B, NY 9B (Lavalley Road), its last sub-route. NY 9B does not terminate but instead runs to the lake shore and eventually north to Rouses Point, New York, Rouses Point. A bend slightly to the west, closer to the Northway, brings the next stretch to US 9's last major intersection, U.S. Route 11 in New York, US 11, just south of Champlain (village), New York, Champlain.
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 towards the Northway to follow it for the last , passing a few Customs broking, customs brokerages towards its official end at the on-ramp to the last exit. Traffic to Canada must get on I-87 here.
The roadway continues as the East Service Road, unsigned NY 971B, for another .
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 south of the Canada–United States border, border from which the Blackpool Border Crossing, Canadian customs station at the south end of Quebec Autoroute 15, Autoroute 15 is visible.
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 Rensselaer, New York, 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, New York, Elizabethtown to the Canadian border; this road became a toll road in the 1800's, known as the Great Northern Turnpike. 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 Road and Sleepy Hollow Road to Elmsford, New York, Elmsford; New York State Route 100A, Hartsdale Road to Hartsdale, New York, Hartsdale; New York State Route 100, Central Avenue, Jerome Avenue, and the Grand Concourse to Manhattan; 149th Street, 7th Ave, 110th St, and 5th Ave to Washington Square.

to the Champlain (town), New York, town of Champlain. While modern US 9 travels directly from Elizabethtown to Keeseville and bypasses Rouses Point, New York, Rouses Point to the west, Route 25 used current
NY 9N between Elizabethtown and Keeseville and served Rouses Point via modern New York State Route 9B, NY 9B.
Routes 2 and 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.
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, which went from the New York City line at
Yonkers north to the Canada–United States border, Canadian border near Rouses Point, New York, Rouses Point. From New York City, NY 6 followed current US 9 north to Tarrytown, where it joined legislative Route 2 and continued north through Valatie to Albany via legislative Routes 1 and 2.

NY 6 had two spur routes: New York State Route 6A, NY 6A in
Westchester County and New York State Route 6B, NY 6B in Rensselaer County, New York, Rensselaer and Saratoga County, New York, Saratoga counties.
Designation

In the original 1925 plan for the
U.S. Highway System, US 9 was designated along the west bank of the
Hudson River from the
New Jersey line to Albany, utilizing then-New York State Route 10, NY 10. North of Albany, US 9 mostly followed NY 6 to Canada. The lone deviation was from Elizabethtown to Keeseville, where US 9 was routed on a previously unnumbered highway to the east instead. NY 6 east of the Hudson (up to Rensselaer) and a further extension to Glens Falls via Troy, New York, Troy, Mechanicville, and Schuylerville, New York, Schuylerville was designated as US 109.
The alignment of US 9 within New York remained unchanged in the final system alignment approved on November 11, 1926.
However, when US 9 was commissioned in New York in 1927, the US 109 designation had been dropped and was signed instead as US 9E, but only up to Waterford. The segment on the west bank of the Hudson from New Jersey to Waterford was redesignated as
US 9W, with the split routes meeting in Waterford. From there, unsuffixed US 9 began (still along NY 6) and went up to the Canadian border via Rouses Point as planned in 1925.
The former routing of NY 6 between Elizabethtown and Keeseville, bypassed by US 9, became New York State Route 9W (1927–1930), NY 9W at this time.
A shorter, more inland alternate route between Albany and Round Lake was designated as NY 9C sometime in the late 1920s.
[''Automobile Legal Association (ALA) Green Book'', Scarborough Motor Guide Co., various editions from 1926 to 1932.] In the 1930 state highway renumbering (New York), 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, the "E" suffix was dropped from all of US 9E south of
East Greenbush—making it part of US 9—while US 9W was truncated southward to end in Albany.
[''Automobile Legal Association (ALA) Automobile Green Book'', 1930–31 and 1931–32 editions, (Scarborough Motor Guide Co., Boston, 1930 and 1931). The 1930–31 edition shows New York state routes prior to the 1930 renumbering (New York), 1930 renumbering] At the same time, US 9 was realigned between Albany and Round Lake to use what had been NY 9C.
The Waterford–Mechanicville portion of US 9's former routing and the segment of US 9E between East Greenbush and Waterford became part of an extended
US 4.
The remainder of the old riverside route south of Waterford became part of NY 32 while the Round Lake–Mechanicville segment of old US 9 became part of NY 67.
Realignments
US 9 (and US 9E before it) originally crossed into New Jersey via the Edgewater Ferry in Harlem. It was shifted northward onto the
George Washington Bridge when it opened in 1934. In mid-December 1934, US 9 was signed within New York City for the first time, as were several other U.S. Highways and state routes. US 9 followed the George Washington Bridge into Manhattan, where it continued east on 179th Street (Manhattan), 179th Street to
Broadway. Here, US 9 turned north as it does today, following Broadway through Manhattan and The Bronx to Yonkers.
The route was moved from 179th Street to the Cross Bronx Expressway following the completion of the highway in the vicinity of the eastern bridge approach.

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 New York State Route 9B, NY 9B.
In the mid-1960s, the
Adirondack Northway was completed in the vicinity of Champlain, supplanting the northernmost of US 9.
US 9 initially overlap (road), overlapped with
I-87 from exit 43 to the Canadian border; however, it was truncated to end at exit 43—the last interchange before the border—in the 1970s.
Part of US 9's former routing to the border was retained as a service road and was designated as NY 971B, an unsigned reference route (New York), reference route.
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.
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 cancelled. In 1971, the section from Tarrytown to Ossining had also been cancelled 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.
The original surface alignment of US 9 became an extension of
NY 9A.
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 (co-signed 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
