===New York=== {{Main|U.S. Route 9 in New York}} US 9 exits shortly after the George Washington Bridge to go onto New York City's [[Broadway (Manhattan)|Broadway]] north of it, passing over the northern tip of [[Manhattan]] Island via the toll-free [[Broadway Bridge (Manhattan)|Broadway Bridge]], through [[the Bronx]] and into [[Westchester County, New York|Westchester County]], where in some towns it follows the old [[Albany Post Road]], which dates from the early days of the nation's existence. Following the [[Hudson River]] closely as a busy surface road through the many suburban river villages and past [[National Historic Landmark]]s such as [[Sunnyside (Tarrytown, New York)|Sunnyside]] and [[Kykuit]], US 9 becomes the [[Croton Expressway]] between [[Croton-on-Hudson, New York|Croton-on-Hudson]] and [[Peekskill, New York|Peekskill]]. That section ends at the Annsville Circle junction with [[U.S. Route 6|US 6]] and [[U.S. Route 202|US 202]], where US 9 returns to two-lane status as it follows the old post road inland, away from the river. At [[Fishkill, New York|Fishkill]], the road passes the historic [[Van Wyck Homestead Museum]] and it becomes a six-lane divided strip until reaching the [[Poughkeepsie, New York|Poughkeepsie]] city limit. It then narrows to a four-lane divided strip which lasts until it intersects St. Andrews Road, just north of the [[Hyde Park, New York|Hyde Park]]β[[Poughkeepsie (town), New York|Poughkeepsie]] town line where it returns to two-lane status as it goes through Hyde Park and past its historic sites. At [[Red Hook, New York|Red Hook]], US 9 veers inland again, becoming a two-lane country road through [[Columbia County, New York|Columbia County]] save for the outskirts of [[Hudson, New York|Hudson]]. In [[Rensselaer County, New York|Rensselaer County]], it widens again as it intersects [[Interstate 90|I-90]] and then joins [[U.S. Route 20|US 20]] to [[Albany, New York|Albany]], where it crosses the Hudson at the [[Dunn Memorial Bridge]]. It is a busy surface road through the state capital, becoming a strip in its northern suburbs and taking traffic eventually to [[Saratoga Springs, New York|Saratoga Springs]], [[Glens Falls, New York|Glens Falls]] and [[Lake George (village), New York|Lake George]], at the edge of the [[Adirondack Park]]. [[File:EndUS9.jpg|thumb|right|150px|End US 9 sign just short of the Canadian border in Champlain, New York]] The [[Adirondack Mountains|Adirondack]] section of US 9 is the least trafficked of the road, returning to two lanes as it runs through vast tracts of forested wilderness and occasional hamlets. Almost {{Convert|100|mi|km}} to the north, it leaves the park and runs along or near [[Lake Champlain]] to [[Plattsburgh, New York|Plattsburgh]]. North of there, it is once again a two-lane road all the way to [[Champlain, New York|Champlain]], ending at an onramp to [[Interstate 87 (New York)|I-87]] just shy of the border. <gallery widths="200" heights="200"> File:First Northern US 9 I87 Reassurance Marker.jpg|First northern reassurance marker on New York I-87/US 9 File:US9AlbanyView.jpg|US 9 north as it approaches Albany </gallery>
