how is U.S. Route 1/9 and George Washington Bridge connected?
U.S. Route 1/9 U.S. Route 1/9 (US 1/9) is the 31.01 mi long concurrency of US 1 and US 9 from their junction in Woodbridge Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey north to New York City. The route is a multilane road, with some freeway portions, that runs through urbanized areas of northern New Jersey adjacent to New York City. Throughout most of its length in New Jersey, the road runs near the New Jersey Turnpike/Interstate 95 (I-95). In Fort Lee, US 1/9 merges onto I-95 and crosses the Hudson River on the George Washington Bridge, where the two U.S. routes split a short distance into New York. US 1/9 intersects several major roads, including I-278 in Linden, Route 81 in Elizabeth, I-78 and US 22 in Newark, Route 139 in Jersey City, Route 3 and Route 495 in North Bergen, and US 46 in Palisades Park. Between Newark and Jersey City, US 1/9 runs along the Pulaski Skyway. Trucks are banned from this section of road and must use US 1/9 Truck. The concurrency between US 1 and US 9 is commonly referred to as "1 and 9". Some signage for the concurrency, as well as the truck route, combines the two roads into one shield, separated by a hyphen (1-9) or an ampersand (1&9).
Washington State Route 173 State Route 173 (SR 173) is an 11.86 mi state highway serving Douglas and Okanogan counties in the U.S. state of Washington. The highway travels northwest along the Columbia River from SR 17 in Bridgeport to U.S. Route 97 (US 97) in Brewster. It serves as an alternate route to SR 17, which travels north of the Columbia River, and serves the Chief Joseph State Park and the Bridgeport Bar State Wildlife Recreation Area. SR 173 was established during the 1964 highway renumbering and codified in 1970, but it has been a part of the state highway system since 1931 as a branch of State Road 10, later Primary State Highway 10 (PSH 10). The highway crosses the Columbia River on the Brewster Bridge, which originally opened in 1928 and was destroyed in 1967 before being re-built a decade later.
