Proposed Changes
Overall, there is nothing major that needs to be changed. In a perfect world, however, there are a few less important changes I would make. N-9 swerves west before coming back east again; I would pave 591 Avenue north from Emerson and passing through Waterbury (replacing S-26A) to straighten it out. In order to serve the communities of Allen and Martinsburg, I propose extending N-16 along N-9’s former alignment (the segment between Wakefield and Emerson would become solely N-35).
Another idea would be to extend N-9 south along current N-79, replacing it. N-79’s northern terminus is only a few miles south of N-9’s southern terminus. Extending south along N-275 and then west along N-91 would allow the two highways to be connected. Being a single-digit highway, it feels like N-9 should have a bit more pomp, and this route may gain popularity as Lincoln expands westward.
Bucket List Status
I have only traveled the concurrency along N-35 between Emerson and Wakefield.
