 Just north of I-84, US 9 clips off a corner of the village of Fishkill, where the intersection with NY 52 creates a heavily congested situation at rush hours since traffic going from southbound US 9 to westbound I-84 often uses it as a shortcut.The remaining miles to Wappingers Falls boast many intersections as well, but are not quite as heavy.In the Town of Poughkeepsie, just after the northern terminus of NY 9D, US 9 passes another distressed mall, South Hills and its healthier, newer counterpart, the Poughkeepsie Galleria.
