Wonder what the cost would be of burying i-78 under 13th st, disconnecting the tunnel from downtown (maybe an on-ramp at Monmouth?).
Get a lot of commuter traffic off of local streets, and takes stop lights off of i-78.
​
Would that be a $10bn project?

What would the land value be in the area between 10th and 18th st? That whole area has been starved by the tunnel entrance and is a bunch of gas stations and car-centric retail. How much wealth could be unlocked by converting that into a dense neighborhood if the commuters are all buried away?
