After the Henry Hudson Parkway ends, there is a short limited-access section extending from West 72 Street to West 56 Street. At the end of this section, there is an exit for West 56 Street on the left and an exit for the ship terminal on the right. Neither exit has a number.

NY 9A is routed along 12 Avenue, a large divided boulevard that is the westernmost north/south route in Manhattan. There are green signs informing motorists where they can turn left. This is the case at every other block because most streets in Manhattan are one-way. At West 42 Street, there is access to the Lincoln Tunnel (NY 495). Although the tunnel is designated a state route in both New York and New Jersey, signs on the New York side of the border mark it as an interstate. All trucks and buses using the tunnel must exit here.
