The older proposal of re-using the abandoned rail tunnels under the Palisades could be revisited in combination with a bus-exclusive river tunnel. A dedicated roadway would have taken buses from NJ 3, the Turnpike, and Tonnelle through the old rail tunnels to the waterfront, where they would enter a new underwater tunnel that would get them to the (old/new) PABT.Since NJ 495 is virtually impossible to expand (due to the current physical constraints), and any new rail tunnels will only serve to add capacity to existing rail lines, there has to be a new way to get buses to Manhattan that keeps them out of the outdated path that is 495 and Lincoln Tunnel. All the current modes between NJ and NY need upgrading - not just rail, not just bus, not just ferry. |
