State Bike Route 9, a 340-mile bike route from New York City to Montreal, has been developed. A 124-mile long section of Bike Route 9 runs through the Hudson Valley. Bike Route 9 was signed and open as of September 1995. Bike Route 9 is an interstate (New York/New Jersey) and international (United States/Canada) facility composed of mostly State highways, local roads in some areas, and trailways/bike paths in State park lands.
The New York State Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the Hudson Valley Greenway Council and others, have developed this this signed State Bike Route. State Bike Route 9 in the Hudson Valley is a designated part of the Hudson River Greenway Trail system.
