On October 28, 1776 George Washington’s Continental Army took a stand against British general William Howe’s numerically superior forces at White Plains, just 8 miles from Sleepy Hollow. The Americans were forced to retreat but not before one of their cannons separated a Hessian mercenary from his head.

44 years later one Washington Irving, named for the American general, catapulted a headless Hessian to international fame.

Sleepy Hollow’s Headless Horseman Bridge has had at least 5 unique appearances over 200 years. Could its next overhaul include a traffic circle?

This conceptual rendering by is part of a “Route 9 Complete Streets” which proposes reconfiguration of about 10 miles of Route 9 from Sleepy Hollow to Hastings-on-Hudson.

In the early 1930s New York State straightened the Albany Post Road (now called Broadway) at the Pocantico River to eliminate two sharp curves which had contributed to numerous accidents as well as slowing the pace of traffic over the Sleepy Hollow bridge.

That resulted in the confusing convergence of Pierson Avenue, Gordon Avenue, Dell Street, Old Broadway and the South Gate of with 2 northbound and 2 southbound lanes of Broadway. It is such a broad expanse that visitors are sometime surprised it is a bridge at all.
