Route description

Route 9P starts at Broadway in downtown Saratoga Springs and is locally known along this short stretch as Spring Street, then it turns south along Congress Park as Circular Street, then east along Union Avenue where it is lined with stately Victorian homes and the Saratoga Race Course.

The route continues over I-87 (locally known as "The Northway) at exit 14 and past Saratoga National Golf Course. Eventually it crosses over a bridge at the point where Fish Creek flows from Saratoga Lake. Route 9P continues along the lake past several older cottages and newer larger homes, eventually heading away from the lake back to Route 9 in the town of Malta.

History

An alternate route of U.S. Route 9 between Malta and Saratoga Springs by way of the eastern shore of Saratoga Lake was originally assigned NY 9X ca. 1931.[4][5] In December 1934, an alternate route of US 9 in New York City was designated as U.S. Route 9X.[6] The alphanumerical duplication between the two routes was eliminated ca. 1936 when NY 9X was redesignated as NY 9P.[1][2]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Saratoga County.
