A Staten Island old timer once told me that the S.I. tunnel shafts were filled in when I-278 & the VZB were being built. We know that is true. But he remembers the tunnel as extending quite a bit under the water to a solid wall because they strung lights up down there to inpsect it before the shafts were filled in. He described it as a muddy mess. I doubt it myself, another urban legend??????? |
