One of the reasons I wouldn't live on Long Island if I move back downstate is because of the isolation; you cannot reasonably reach the mainland without paying massive tolls.For the road crossings, we have: Holland Tunnel (4 lanes) Lincoln Tunnel (6 lanes) GW Bridge (14 lanes) -- end NYC limits Tappan Zee Bridge (7 lanes) Bear Mountain Bridge (2 lanes) Newburgh-Beacon Bridge (5.5 lanes) Kingstone Rhinecliff (2 lanes) Rip Van Winkle (2 lanes) -- begin Albany County -- Castleton Bridge / Berkshire Connector (4 lanes, 65 MPH) Dunn Memorial Bridge (8 lanes that merge into 4 mid-bridge due to cancelled connection) Patroon Island Bridge (6 lanes) Troy-Menands Bridge (4 lanes) Congress St Bridge (4 lanes) Green Island Bridge (4 lanes) Collar City Bridge (8 lanes) 112 st Bridge (2 lanes) --end Albany County, Begin Saratoga County -- Troy-Waterford bridge and all bridges beyond - 2 lanes The funny thing about this list: despite similar geographical distance, there's over twice as many lanes just connecting Albany and Rensselaer counties as there is connecting NYC to NJ. And, twice as many standard railroad tracks (even after the loss of the dedicated passenger bridge to Albany Union Station). |
