A lot of New England-bound freight probably uses I-287 to do an end run around New York City. A good chunk probably uses the George Washington Bridge, which partly explains the chronic tieups on the Cross Bronx Expressway along with freight bound for the Throgs Neck Bridge and eastern Long Island. There's also the double toll that trucks will have to pay to go through Staten Island, one MTA toll and one PA toll. They can avoid the MTA toll by bypassing Staten Island and Long Island. I don't actually recall seeing lots of trucks on the VNB. |
