Money would be better spent building another bridge across the Hudson, or better yet, a series of bridges that go straight from NJ to Queens.

The Cross Harbor tunnel would be a better investment as it would take trucks bound for Long Island off the regional highway network. Its projected cost was around 8 billion...if they were serious about actually reducing tunnel congestion they would consider that or at least study it..

I hadn’t heard of the project but based on your description I imagine it would definitely alleviate a ton of traffic in between NJ and LI

Interesting idea to keep trucks off the commuter roadways. Either way we could really use another Hudson crossing and a limited access highway between NJ and Queens/LI
