But 495 is an odd one.Ahh, good old I-495... Once upon a time, I-495 was supposed to run thru Manhattan via the Lincoln and Midtown Tunnels and the Mid-Manhattan Expressway. The former terminus of I-495 would be the Clearview Expressway in Fresh Meadows, née I-78, now I-295, and I-95 in Secaucus. Thus, this routing would have satisfied the "loop" requirements, but once the poorly thought out Manhattan section was cut, New Jersey abandoned it's I-495 designation for NJ 495, and I-495 extended beyond the Clearview Expressway in the mid-1980s, the route no longer served as a loop, but as a spur serving Long Island. The only way for I-495 to become a loop is if they eventually build the "pont sur la mer" off the East End... |
