How many lanes are there in each direction? The old one had four to Brooklyn just until you got to the bridge. Three will be a problem because of the traffic entering from the LIE. |

That was affected by construction anyway. The current bridge has three each way. The completed bridge will have 4 to Brooklyn and 5 to Queens. |

It's logic/capacity based.Brooklyn bound you will have: On the Queens side: 2 lanes from the BQE and 2 Lanes from the LIE merging on to the bridge. On the Brooklyn Side you have: 3 lanes continuing on the BQE and 1 lane exiting to Meeker Ave. So the Bridge to Brooklyn is going to have 4 lanes. Queens bound you will have: On the Brooklyn Side you have: 3 lanes from the BQE and 2 lanes from the Meeker Ave entrance Ramp merging onto the bridge On the Queens Side you will have: 3 lanes continuing onto the BQE and 2 lanes exiting to the LIE. So the Queensbound span will have 5 lanes. |

That looks like the Bayonne Bridge.I Googled Kosciusko Bridge and that's what I got. :( There is a similar photo of the opening of the Goethals Bridge with the same era cars. My point was the narrowness of the Goethals Bridge make it a scary trip. Bill Newkirk |

The funniest thing about this subthread, is how I think it may be the first post on subchat that needs a large diagram or other illustration. |
