Latham Circle

[1] In 1958 an underpass was built to give motorists the option to skip the circle and continue on US 9.

Prior to the 2002 work, the accident rate at the circle was about one per week, but were of low severity.

This work won the New York State Department of Transportation the 2003 National Roadway Safety Award.

[6] Traffic counts for US 9 in 2002 and 2004 showed over 26,000 cars passing under the Latham Circle daily.

[8] The name Latham Circle has since been used in the name of many local businesses, including a shopping mall, soccer team, diner, and taxi service.
