Route description

Westchester and Putnam Counties

Like its parent road, U.S. Route 9, NY 9D runs north/south parallel to the Hudson River for its entire length. The route begins near the riverbank at the Bear Mountain Bridge, where it meets US 6 and US 202. A mere quarter-mile to the north, NY 9D passes into Putnam County. The Hudson River, called Muh-he-kun-ne-tuk in Mahican, is a river that runs through the eastern portion of New York State and, along its southern terminus, demarcates the border between the states of New York and New Jersey. ...

After crossing the Appalachian Trail, NY 9D passes a few historical areas, such as the house Benedict Arnold was holed up in prior to his treason, the point of land where he caught the ship downriver to New York City, and the eastern end of the chain that was strung across the Hudson River during the American Revolution to prevent ships from coming upriver north of West Point. Continuing north, NY 9D enters Garrison. Near the town center, NY 9D meets the western terminus of New York State Route 403, an intra-county route leading to US 9 to the east.

Three-quarters of a mile northwest of the creek, NY 9D makes another 90 degree turn, this time to the northeast, giving NY 9D a "S"-shape as it travels through Beacon. To the north of the turn, NY 9D intersects Main Street, carrying New York State Route 52 Business, and becomes North Avenue.
