A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on August 31, 2018. The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that a 156-foot (48 m) tunnel for the Lower Manhattan Expressway was built in New York City in the 1960s, but was never used? | |||||||||||||

The contents of the Lower Manhattan Expressway page were merged into Interstate 78 in New York. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page. |
NYSDOT and FHWA show a length of 0.5 mi. This doesn't make sense; that's less the distance from the state line to the east portal of the tunnel. The NYSDOT traffic counts also show that mile 0.5 is at "ACC RT 478I"; 0.5 miles is where the tunnel passes under NY 9A, but makes absolutely no sense as an actualy mileage figure. Thus I went with 1.1 miles, the distance from the state line to exit 5 from the tunnel. If you think this is too precise, we can go with 1 mile; the westbound length is 0.9 miles. --NE2 02:27, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
I may be wrong, and please tell me if I am, but arent many of the cancelled highways mentioned in this article designed/pushed by Robert Moses, one of the most important men in the history of highways in NYC (and possibly the most important person in regards to highway construction since Roman times in my opinion). How can he not be mentioned?Camelbinky (talk) 00:12, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

The Moses expressway was fought bitterly, with its opponents asserting that it would become a Chinese wall stretching across Lower Manhattan...epicgenius (talk) 23:11, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
