New York State Route 9G
Encyclopedia
New York State Route 9G (NY 9G) is a state highway
in the Hudson Valley
of New York
in the United States. It runs north from U.S. Route 9 (US 9) at Poughkeepsie
, starting out as Violet Avenue, then follows the Hudson River
mostly along the eastern side of the US 9 to Rhinebeck, where the two routes cross just north of the village. From this point onward, NY 9G runs on the western side of US 9, closer to the Hudson River, to Hudson
. It ends at another junction with US 9 in the city.
(NYSDOT) outside of the cities of Poughkeepsie
and Hudson
. The portion of the route that enters the two cities is locally maintained.
and Saint Francis Hospital in the Dutchess County
town of Poughkeepsie. It travels parallel to the Pulaski Park while heading south for a time. It turns sharply to the east for a time known as Parker Avenue. It passes north of College Hill Park and Morgan Lake prior to gradually turning north. Route 9G passes west of the Dutchess Community College
, now known as Violet Avenue. Proceeding north, off to the east is the Fallkill County Park. An intersection with County Route 40 (CR 40) is not far off, while another intersection with CR 40A follows. Past CR 40A, it runs parallel to the Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site
while it travels west of the Union Cemetery.
North of the site, NY 9G runs near a small stream for a time, while to the west is the Greentree Park. A turn to the northwest before turning due north again comes before an intersection with CR 37. The route enters DeWitt Mills, which brings an intersection with CR 14. On either side of the route are small lakes just as an intersection with CR 84 occurs. Continuing north, Burger Hill Park is to the west. From here, NY 9G meets NY 308
by way of an interchange as it enters the northern outskirts of Rhinebeck. The route crosses its parent, US 9, north of the village center, at which point it enters the Hudson River Historic District
. Not far to the northwest is a junction with NY 199
, which merges with NY 9G and follows it into the town of Red Hook.
NY 9G and NY 199 split at a junction west of the village of Red Hook
and east of the hamlet of Barrytown
. NY 199 turns eastward toward the village while NY 9G heads north into Annandale-On-Hudson
. Bard College
is just to the west as NY 9G becomes limited access for a short time. An intersection with CR 79 follows, just prior entering Tivoli
, where NY 9G meets CR 78. This junction was once the eastern terminus of NY 402
. Not far to the north of Tivoli, NY 9G crosses into Columbia County
and the town of Clermont
.
in Clermont before proceeding north into the town of Germantown
and the hamlet of the same name
contained within. Outside of the hamlet, NY 9G turns to follow a more northeasterly course, matching a similar turn in the Hudson River. It crosses over Roeliff Jansen Kill on its way into the town of Greenport
, where it meets NY 23 at the eastern foot of the Rip Van Winkle Bridge
in a highly channelized junction adjacent to the Olana State Historic Site
.
NY 9G is concurrent with NY 23 for just less than 0.3 mile (0.482802 km) before leaving with NY 23B
to the northeast for the city of Hudson
, passing through its historic downtown
. The two routes overlap from the NY 23 east junction to the US 9 junction on the east side of the city, where the concurrency and NY 9G both end. NY 23B, meanwhile, continues east of here, following US 9 for several blocks to the east toward Claverack
.
to US 9 in Hudson
. South of Annandale-on-Hudson, NY 9G was routed on River and Mount Rutsen Roads. The portion of NY 9G between Germantown
and NY 199
, under construction in 1930, was opened to traffic from NY 199 to Tivoli
by the following year and completed ca. 1932. Farther south, an alternate route of US 9 between Poughkeepsie
and Hyde Park
via East Park was designated NY 9F as part of the renumbering. Ca. 1932, NY 9F was extended northward from East Park to Rhinebeck, where it ended at a junction with US 9 northeast of the village. NY 9F was absorbed into a rerouted and extended NY 9G ca. 1938.
The former routing of NY 9G from Annandale-on-Hudson to Mount Rutsen Road along River Road is now maintained by Dutchess County
as part of CR 103. In Hyde Park, the former alignment of NY 9F along Market Street remained state-maintained until April 1, 1980, when it was transferred from New York State to Dutchess County as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government. Market Street is now part of CR 41.
