U.S. Route 1/9 is the concurrency of U.S. Route 1 and U.S. Route 9 from their junction in Woodbridge Township, New Jersey north to New York City, New York, United States. It is commonly known as "1 and 9", and many signs combine the two numbers into one shield, separated by a hyphen (1-9) or, less commonly, an ampersand (1&9).

The south end of the concurrency is the merge of U.S. 1 and U.S. 9 in Woodbridge. Route 1, which traverses the entire East Coast from the Florida Keys to northern Maine, comes from the southwest, where it serves the city of New Brunswick and Edison Township. Route 9, which runs primarily along the Jersey Shore, comes from the south, fresh of an interchange with the Garden State Parkway, which it parallels for most of its course.

From there the route runs north as a surface road with some jughandles through Linden and Elizabeth. At Route 81, a freeway begins, carrying the route around the west side of Newark Liberty International Airport and onto the Pulaski Skyway. The Pulaski Skyway continues for another 5.6 miles (9.0 km) into Kearny and Jersey City in Hudson County. Trucks, prohibited from the Skyway, must use the parallel U.S. Route 1/9 Truck between the eastern end of Newark and Tonnele Circle in Jersey City.

At the east end of the Skyway, US 1 and 9 exit at Tonnelle Circle and merge with the truck route, and again become a surface road to the merge with U.S. Route 46 in Palisades Park. The three routes run together on an early freeway, merging into the George Washington Bridge approach (Interstate 95) and continuing over the bridge. US 46 ends at the state line in the middle of the bridge, but US 1 and US 9 cross the bridge into New York City. Shortly after entering Manhattan, U.S. Route 9 leaves Interstate 95 at Exit 1 onto West 178th Street and Broadway. U.S. Route 1 continues with Interstate 95 into the Bronx before exiting onto Webster Avenue (later to reach Boston Post Road).
