In terms of aesthetics, I too would occasionally use the two bridges instead of driving from Exits 17 to 11 on the Belt. Of course the tolls and added gas expenditure mean that I would do that extremely rarely.The Whitestone and the Throgs Neck Bridges have to match their tolls in order to avoid having unequal loads on those bridges. But remember, people still go with the Queens Midtown Tunnel even though it is a major toll while the nearby Queensborough Bridge is free. On the Rockaway Peninsula, however, traffic is usually not that big a problem (summer weekends perhaps excepted) that as many people will pay tolls to avoid traffic. With a free crossing to Broad Channel, it will definitely take away some traffic from the Marine Parkway Bridge, but it would still get lightly used. The point is, however, that you eliminate income from the Broad Channel crossing and you lose more income on the remaining toll crossing. A "double whammy." |
