U.S. Route 9

Encyclopedia : U : US : USR : U.S. Route 9

---

U.S. Route 9 is a north-south United States highway in the states of Delaware, New Jersey, and New York in the United States. It is one of only two U.S. highways with a ferry connection (the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, between Lewes, Delaware and Cape May, New Jersey); the other being U.S. 10. US 9 is signed east-west in Delaware and north-south on the rest of its route.

Termini

As of 2006, the highway's northern terminus is a dead end in Champlain, NY, just short of the United States-Canada border. Originally, the road continued north across the border through the customs facilities now used by Interstate 87. The official northern terminus (the point where the END US 9 sign is posted) is just south of the interchange with I-87, less than a mile from customs. US 9's southern terminus is in Laurel, Delaware at an intersection with U.S. Route 13. Prior to the opening of the Cape May-Lewes Ferry in 1964, US 9 ended on Lafayette Street in Cape May, New Jersey. It was re-routed to the west, via Sandman Boulevard and Lincoln Avenues, to meet the new ferry, and its southern stub into Cape May was renumbered as NJ 109.[Endpoints of US highways - US 9]

U.S. Route 1 and U.S. Route 9 multiplex

A large section in northeast New Jersey is concurrent with U.S. Route 1. Route shields on this section, which includes the Pulaski Skyway, often show both numbers in the same shield, with a dash or ampersand between (1-9 or 1&9).

The portion of New York City's Broadway north of the George Washington Bridge is part of US 9, from the northern tip of Manhattan via the toll-free Broadway Bridge, through the Bronx and into Westchester County, New York, where in some towns it is known as Albany Post Road. This road's original route from New York to Albany was a post road dating from the early days of American independence, and some of the original milestones are still visible along it.

U.S. 9 crosses the Edison Bridge in New Jersey near Perth Amboy and the George Washington Bridge into New York City. US 9 leaves the Trans-Manhattan Expressway (I-95, US 1, US 9) just after the GWB at an un-numbered exit immediately after the Henry Hudson Parkway (NY 9A).

Throughout much of central New Jersey, U.S. 9 varies between a two or three lane divided highway and is a major choke point for commuters; traffic reports commonly refer to "slowdowns at the lights along Route 9."

Route 9 is a highway until Bayville, New Jersey, where it becomes a small, two-lane road.

The highway is mentioned in the lyrics of the classic song "Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen: Sprung from cages out on Highway 9 / Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line.

An image of the multiplexed US 1-9 shield (shown on this page) can be glimpsed briefly in the opening sequence of the HBO series, The Sopranos.
