 This was the former route of US 9 to the border prior to the construction of the Northway.It is devoid of any development save some long vacant and abandoned lots, finally ending in a parking lot south of the border from which the Canadian customs station at the south end of Autoroute 15 is visible.Much of what is now US 9 in New York was assigned an unsigned legislative route designation by the New York State Legislature in 1908.
