80-468: A short distance downstream from the center of Keeseville. NY 9N comes to an end here while NY 22 turns south onto US 9. In 1908, the New York State Legislature created Route 22, an unsigned legislative route that was initially split into two segments. The northern half of the route ran from Riparius to Rouses Point and mostly followed what is now US 9 between

120-467: Is a north–south state highway in northeastern New York in the United States. It extends from an intersection with U.S. Route 9 (US 9), NY 29 , and NY 50 in the city of Saratoga Springs to a junction with US 9 and NY 22 in the Clinton County hamlet of Keeseville . At 143.49 miles (230.92 km) in total length, NY 9N is the longest letter-suffixed route in

160-512: Is now M-123 and M-28 while the southern route followed the rough path of today's US 2. The highway was designated as a memorial following Theodore Roosevelt 's death on January 6, 1919. Michigan completed its section of the highway in the middle of 1926. A 56-mile (90 km) portion of the highway over the Continental Divide through Marias Pass in northwestern Montana was not completed until 1930. Automobiles were carried over

200-819: Is that, while US-2 exists in two segments with a gap between New York and Michigan, the Roosevelt Highway was contiguous by passing through Ontario. The highway begins in Portland, Maine at Longfellow Square where it travels up State Street and out of town along what is now U.S. Route 302 . The TRIH follows US-302 out of Maine and into New Hampshire. The TRIH weaves its way through the White Mountains of New Hampshire along US-302 to Littleton where it continues along Main Street to join New Hampshire Route 18 . It follows

240-594: The Ausable River from Keene to Keeseville. The other portions of NY 9N pass through predominantly rural and mountainous regions of the Adirondack Mountains . The NY 9N designation was originally created as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to replace New York State Route 9W , a route assigned to an alternate routing of US 9 from Elizabethtown to Keeseville. NY 9N

280-572: The Bouquet River and entering the hamlet of Elizabethtown , where it rejoins US 9 in the former village's center. Unlike the overlap in Lake George, this concurrency lasts for only three blocks before the two routes split. NY 9N continues to the west for 12 miles (19 km) through deep, narrow valleys to Keene , where it meets NY 73 north of Keene Valley. Here, NY 9N turns north, joining NY 73 for 2 miles (3.2 km) to

320-764: The Honeymoon Bridge . The Honeymoon Bridge collapsed in 1938 and was replaced by the Rainbow Bridge . By 1929, the US 104 route had taken precedence as the major throughway, although it's unclear as to whether the TRIH followed that route exclusively. From Niagara Falls, the Canadian portion of TRIH carries traffic along alignments of Ontario Highway 8 , a portion of which was renamed Regional Road 81 in 1970, northwest into Hamilton , and then southwest to Tilbury on Highway 2 . At Tilbury,

400-622: The US-12 roadbed, then making its way West to follow the Columbia River into Oregon at Hood River , joining U.S. Route 30 . The western terminus was at South Park Blocks in Portland, Oregon where a statue of the former president stood until 2020. In Michigan, the highway had a northern loop route in the Upper Peninsula. Between St. Ignace and Wakefield , the northern route followed what

440-537: The hamlet of Ticonderoga . For the most part, NY 9N bypasses the community as it turns north onto Wicker Street, the westernmost north–south through street in the hamlet. Northwest of the former village's center, NY 9N meets NY 22 and NY 74 , the latter of which serves as a northerly bypass of Ticonderoga. NY 22 joins NY 9N here, following the route out of the hamlet. NY 9N and NY 22 head generally northward through an area of lowlands, which eventually give way to Lake Champlain as

480-532: The town of Corinth , where it crosses the Blue Line into Adirondack Park . Not far to the north, NY 9N enters the village of Corinth , situated on the west bank of the Hudson River . The highway follows Saratoga Avenue and Maple Streets into the village center, where it turns north and exits the village on Main Street. NY 9N follows the western edge of the river north for roughly 4 miles (6 km) through

520-474: The Ausable River into the town of Au Sable . Here, NY 9N meets I-87 one final time at exit 34 just southwest of the village of Keeseville . NY 9N continues on into Keeseville, where it meets NY 22 once again at an intersection across the river from the village center. NY 22 and NY 9N come together once more, overlapping for 0.25 miles (0.40 km) to an intersection with US 9

560-568: The Theodore Roosevelt International Highway's alignment was used to form U.S. Route 2 when the United States Numbered Highway System was formed in 1926. There are, however, several key differences between the Roosevelt Highway and US-2; the Roosevelt Highway was built to run from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon , while US-2 passes through neither of those cities. Another notable difference

600-570: The city of Saratoga Springs to the New York State Department of Transportation . As NY 9N exits the city limits and enters the town of Greenfield , it turns to follow a more northerly routing. It meets County Route 21 (CR 21) just north of the town line, where the Church Street name ends, and CR 36 (Wilton Road) 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to the north in the hamlet of Greenfield Center. The route continues on into

640-464: The communities. Just northeast of Lake Vanare, NY 9N enters the town of Lake George , where it connects to I-87 (the Adirondack Northway ) at exit 21 and meets US 9. Here, it joins its parent route northward toward the village of Lake George . The conjoined routes intersect the northern end of NY 9L just south of the village line before becoming Canada Street and entering

680-519: The conjoined routes pass into the town of Crown Point . Once again, NY 9N serves as the lakeside highway as it follows the western edge of the lake through the hamlet of Crown Point to the peninsula that gives the town its name. While NY 9N and NY 22 pass by Crown Point to the west, NY 185 directly serves the peninsula and the Crown Point State Historic Site , located at its tip. The routes continue northward along

720-483: The hamlet of Keene, located on the east branch of the Ausable River . NY 73 heads off to the west from this point toward Lake Placid ; however, NY 9N follows the river northward into the town of Jay , where it intersects the east end of NY 86 . The highway continues alongside the western bank of the river branch to the hamlet of Au Sable Forks , situated on the Essex– Clinton County line and at

760-402: The intersection of Church Street, Broadway ( US 9 , NY 29 westbound, and NY 50 ) and Lake Avenue (NY 29 eastbound) in the city of Saratoga Springs . Situated on the northwestern corner of the junction is the city's post office . The route heads west, following Church Street out of the city's center. At Bensonhurst Avenue, ownership and maintenance of NY 9N shifts from

800-449: The lakeshore through the town of Moriah and the village of Port Henry to the town of Westport , where NY 9N and NY 22 split in the hamlet of Westport. While NY 22 continues north towards Essex , NY 9N heads west to follow a more inland routing through a series of narrow valleys. NY 9N intersects I-87 once again at exit 31 just before entering the town of Elizabethtown . The route continues west, passing over

880-617: The new NY 8 in the 1930 renumbering, allowing the NY ;47 designation to be reassigned to a previously unnumbered roadway along the western shore of Lake George between NY 8 in Hague and US 9 in Lake George village . At the same time, NY 10 was realigned south of Long Lake and replaced with NY 9K from Saratoga Springs to Lake George while the roadway connecting Ticonderoga to Westport became part of NY 22 after NY 30

920-566: The pass in Great Northern Railway cars until the highway was finished. Dedication ceremonies for the full route were held in Montana four months after the completion of the highway. The name fell into disuse after the 1930s with the 1926 designation of the United States Numbered Highway System that replaced much of its routing with numbered highway designations. New York State Route 9N New York State Route 9N ( NY 9N )

960-642: The path of Route 18 across the Connecticut River to Vermont. In Vermont, the highway connects to US-2 at the Moose River. It continues through the Green Mountains to Grand Isle where it crosses Lake Champlain by ferry into New York . The Grand Isle Ferry carries traffic there today. The trail continues South down U.S. Route 9 to Keeseville, then West along New York State Route 9N to Jay, New York where it turns right down NY 86 . In Paul Smiths ,

1000-411: The point where the Ausable River's east and west branches come together. The highway enters Au Sable Forks from the south on South Main Street and becomes North Main Street upon crossing the west branch of the river and entering Clinton County and the town of Black Brook . NY 9N immediately turns east upon crossing the river, following Ausable Street out of the hamlet and along the northern edge of

1040-400: The route leaves the main lake and instead follows the edge of Northwest Bay, an inlet separated from Lake George itself by a large, mountainous peninsula. The bay abruptly ends about 2 miles (3.2 km) to the north, at which point NY 9N curves to the east and proceeds through a pass in the mountains to rejoin the western edge of Lake George at Sabbath Day Point in the town of Hague. Here,

1080-419: The route turns back to the north and follows Lake George to the hamlet of Hague, where it meets the northern (signed as the eastern) terminus of NY 8 . NY 9N continues to serve as the lakeside roadway for another 3 miles (5 km) before curving away from the lake and entering Essex County . Now in the town of Ticonderoga , NY 9N passes through a valley before curving to the east and entering

1120-659: The route turns south on Baptiste Road and then west on Essex County Road 46. A ferry transferred passengers across the Detroit River until 1930 when the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel was completed. The route heads up Michigan 's Upper Peninsula to Duluth, Minnesota and then through North Dakota and Montana following close to the path of the US-2 grade. The highway passed through northern Idaho and Spokane, Washington , south on present day US-195 to Walla Walla , paralleling

1160-447: The state. It is concurrent with its parent route for 1 mile (1.6 km) in the village of Lake George and for three blocks in the hamlet of Elizabethtown . Much of NY 9N runs alongside either a river or a lake. It follows the Hudson River through northern Saratoga County and southern Warren County , the entirety of Lake George 's western shoreline, the west edge of Lake Champlain between Ticonderoga and Westport , and

1200-509: The towns of Corinth and Hadley before crossing over it and passing from Saratoga County to Warren County. Across the county line in Lake Luzerne , NY 9N begins to deviate from the Hudson River, gradually curving to the northeast as it passes through the hamlets of Lake Luzerne , Fourth Lake, and Lake Vanare, all of which are named for small lakes bearing those names near the center of

1240-649: The trail follows NY 30 most of the way to Malone , although it did depart the current alignment of NY 30 in the Titusville Mountain State Forest to follow more closely to Cold Brook Road, Studley Hill Road, and Duane Road up to Malone's Main Street to join US 11 . At Moira , the trail headed north to follow along the Saint Lawrence River to Cape Vincent , then back to US 11 in Watertown , then along what

1280-399: The trail in New York also went through a few iterations. In 1920 the trail passed through Lewiston along Center Street, then turned south at 4th Street where it crossed into Canada via the second Queenston–Lewiston Bridge to York Road. The bridge was dismantled in 1963. A 1924 alignment bypassed Lewiston and instead continued along NY 104 into Niagara Falls where it crossed into Canada along

1320-524: The two locations. From Elizabethtown to Keeseville , however, Route 22 followed a more westerly alignment via Keene , Jay , and Au Sable Forks . When the first set of posted routes in New York were assigned in 1924, all of legislative Route 22 north of Riparius became part of NY 6 , which continued south toward Glens Falls on what is now US 9. At the same time, the section of modern NY 9N between Saratoga Springs and Lake George

1360-413: The village limits upon crossing over West Brook. US 9 and NY 9N serve as the primary north–south thoroughfare through the village before splitting at the north end of the village. While US 9 continues to the north, NY 9N heads northeast along the western edge of Lake George . The portion of NY 9N between Lake George village and Hague is relatively isolated, with mountains lining

1400-519: The western edge of the highway and the lakeshore located to the immediate east. Along this stretch, NY 9N serves numerous lakeside hamlets, the southernmost of which is Diamond Point, a community just south of the Lake George– Bolton town line. The route continues on, passing through the hamlets of Bolton and Bolton Landing , the latter of which is home to The Sagamore , a resort situated on an island in Lake George. North of Bolton Landing,

1440-448: Was between Elizabethtown and Keeseville, where US 9 followed a previously unnumbered highway to the east instead. The bypassed section of NY 6 between the two locations was redesignated as NY 9W at this time. NY 9W was renumbered to NY 9N as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York , eliminating the alphanumerical duplication between itself and US 9W . NY 47, meanwhile, became part of

1480-489: Was designated as part of NY 10 . The portion between Ticonderoga and Westport became part of a realigned NY 30 by the following year. By 1926, the piece of current NY 9N from Hague to Ticonderoga was designated as the easternmost leg of NY 47 , which continued west to Chestertown on modern NY 8 . In 1927, most of NY 6 north of Round Lake was replaced by US 9 when U.S. Highways were first signed in New York. The lone exception

1520-725: Was extended southward to Lake George in March ;1936 and to Saratoga Springs in the early 1950s, supplanting several other routes (including New York State Route 9K ) in the process. NY 9N is the longest suffixed route in the state, extending for 143.5 miles (230.9 km) from Saratoga Springs to Keeseville . The route stretches through four counties— Saratoga , Warren , Essex and Clinton —and serves several villages and hamlets , including Lake George , Ticonderoga , and Elizabethtown . It overlaps its parent route, US 9 , in Lake George and Elizabethtown and meets Interstate 87 (I-87) four times. NY 9N begins at

1560-462: Was once US 104 , now NY 104 , into Rochester on Empire Boulevard. Period roadmaps indicate the highway's routing between Rochester and the Canadian Border shifted continuously throughout the 1920s, shifting primarily between present day NY 18, NY 104, and NY 31. NY 18 has the significant honor of being signed as the Roosevelt Highway for a portion of its length along this segment. The ending of

1600-454: Was reassigned elsewhere in the state. The segment of modern NY 9N from Westport to Elizabethtown, previously unnumbered, was designated NY 195. NY 9N was extended south to Lake George in March 1936, supplanting both NY 47 and NY 195 in an effort to aid tourists. From Westport to Hague , NY 9N overlapped with NY 22 (from Westport to Ticonderoga) and NY 8 (from Crown Point to Hague ). The route
