The FHWA's mileage runs into JFK, either to the main interchange or just west.

[edit] JFK Expwy

I removed the part about the Van Wyck being called the JFK Expwy once inside JFK Airport. As shown by this page, http://www.panynj.gov/aviation/jgrafram.htm, and by driving the roads, the Van Wyck is separate from the JFK Expwy. Yossiea 20:48, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Someone reinserted the bit about the JFK Expwy, but as any NY'er can tell you, the Van Wyck is not the same as the JFK Expwy. If you drive on the 878, you first have a chance to exit onto the Van Wyck, and then you have a chance later on of exiting onto the JFK Expwy. The Van Wyck goes into JFK Airport, but it is not the JFK Expressway.Yossiea 13:01, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
