Reply to comment by eggdropk in NJ Turnpike Authority Transforms a Useless $4.4B Project into a Useless $10.7B Project by jimmybot

The Cross Harbor tunnel would be a better investment as it would take trucks bound for Long Island off the regional highway network. Its projected cost was around 8 billion...if they were serious about actually reducing tunnel congestion they would consider that or at least study it..

Interesting idea to keep trucks off the commuter roadways. Either way we could really use another Hudson crossing and a limited access highway between NJ and Queens/LI
