WMS Map: Lake George - US 9 and NY 9N Connector
About Lake George - US 9 and NY 9N Connector ....
For some reason I've always been fascinated with this series of ramps, maybe because this was ending for the Northway for a couple of years and how it connected up with Lake Gorge. Seems somewhat overbuilt, but it certainly made sense in the 1960s before the Northway was fully built.
