And many of those buildings there were torn down and replaced at this point anyway.....and yes, it would have made sense to connect the Midtown and Lincoln tunnels, and that was the original idea....and why the LIE has the I495 designation. It would have taken a lot of through traffic (that Manhattan doesn't need) off the local roads. This could still be done by drilling a deep-bore tunnel between the two. The cross traffic would never see the light of day in Manhattan. Of course, the cost would be monstrously prohibitive. |
