Killer shot and getting total Men in Black vibes here
@cvvhrn @mattblaze I don’t have a photo but there’s another Lincoln Tunnel mystery that I used to use regularly to visit my daughter in Manhattan: a short stub of an expressway that was to go across Manhattan at 30th St or thereabouts to connect to the Queens Midtown Tunnel. It does go underground to 30th St making a trip across Manhattan much quicker 🙂
@PenguinToot @cvvhrn I think it’s called Dyre Avenue.
@mattblaze @cvvhrn No, Dyer Ave is a nearby entrance road. It’s officially 495 but it’s a poor example of an interstate highway 🙁
@PenguinToot @cvvhrn Ah, another example of weird highway numbering namespaces. The Lincoln tunnel is NY & NJ 495, but not officially Interstate 495, and continuing as NY 495 with Dyre Ave, but then to the east the Midtown tunnel and LIE become I-495 again (a recent upgrade; it was NY495 until about 10 years ago).
