That's why all the tunnels are only two lanes in each direction. The third tunnel in the Linclon wasn't added until years later. Bridges on the other hand are at least six lanes in each direction. The only advantage of tunnels as I can see is that there is less demolition needed for access roads. The GW probably was built as a bridge because demolition for access roads wasn't a problem up there like it is in midtown. Remember the Queensborough was built early on and the Midtown Tunnel much later. |
