Talk:Cross-Harbor Highway Tunnel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Cross-Harbor Highway Tunnel provides a way to reduce some of the traffic pressures on Manhattan and improve transportation between Long Island and locations to the west. A bored tunnel with single-highway connections at each end minimizes tunneling cost, access road cost and neighborhood disruption.

[edit] Speedy?

Why is this a speedy? I see in the history a well cited article (the google map snapshot has to go though, it's copyvio) and the sources I followed do talk about a highway tunnel. AfD this would be my advice, not speedy. ++Lar: t/c 04:25, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree. From a quick glance-over the article seems good. Don't speedy it. --Alphachimp ^talk 04:28, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Which sources? The only one I see that mentions a highway is this one:

Steve Anderson (2006). Mid-Manhattan expressway. Eastern Roads."An express tunnel directly connecting New Jersey with Brooklyn without access to Manhattan would be a logical thing...bored tunneling was cited at an April 1997 Regional Planning Association panel as providing the advantage of far less surface disruption...."

That's a random guy on misc.transport.road, and doesn't even talk about this proposal, but a possible route along the unbuilt Mid-Manhattan Expressway (I-495). The only other highway-related references are for different projects, like the proposed Gowanus Expressway tunnel. --SPUI (T - C) 06:10, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
