Main Street JN, Peekskill

Now here's a bunch of shots in the same general area-the Main Street Junction on US 9 in Peekskill. This is about 1 mile SE of the Bear Mountain Parkway JN. This is a freeway, but the Speed Limit is 45 MPH.

US 9 at Main Street, Peekskill-Looking North
Looking North towards Bear Mountain Parkway JN. Note the lack of a BGS for this junction.
 
BGS? What BGS?
A closeup of the sign assembly that stands in for a Big Green Sign. I have no idea why US 9 and NY 35 haven't any cardinal direction plates. NYSDOT does this at a lot of elevated junctions; I guess to save money...
 
US 9 at Main Street Underpass
Looking southbound at road level-I'm near the "Hospital" sign in the top snap(you can see the back of it). You can't read them, but you can see the headroom plates on the bridge. Inside headroom is 13'6", outside headroom is 10' and change. There is a ½ mile warning for the impaired headroom.
 
US 9 Looking south Over Viaduct
Just south of the bridge, is...another bridge. The Peekskill railway station is to the right, downtown to the left.
 
END NY 35 West
And here's the end of NY 35. The bridge over US 9 is beyond the sign assembly, that blue car is leaving the slip road from US 9 North. There is no END sign-NY 35 also uselessly multiplexes with US 6 and 202 to this point. The money NYSDOT could've saved by not posting NY 35 signs thru Peekskill could've been spent on a proper BGS for US 9 :)
