Tour 3

(Piermont, N. Y.)-Alpine-Fort Lee; US 9W.
New York Line to Fort Lee, 10.6 miles

Numerous gas stations, tourist homes.
Four- and three-lane concrete highway.

US 9W runs along the top of the Palisades, overlooking the Hudson River. Much of the route lies in woods, but the open sections afford fine views of the river several hundred feet below and of the opposite shore, covered thickly with the buildings of Yonkers and New York City.

US 9W crosses the New York State Line 2.6 miles south of Piermont, N.Y.

At 0.1 miles the road divides into a Y and becomes a one-way route (R). Much of the highway for a mile south of this point was built through dense woods across a seemingly bottomless swamp, believed by some geologists to have been the volcanic crater from which the Palisades erupted. Thousands of tons of mud were removed and trees, rubble, stone, and concrete were dumped into the pit. On this mattress the roadbed was laid.

At 1.5 miles is the junction with the one-way route for northbound traffic a US 9W.
