[48] Construction on the first section of this, from Duane Street to Canal Street, was begun on January 24, 1938. In all three cases, the need for encasing the highway is directly related to its proximity to built-up areas. MODIFIED OUTBOARD: The "modified outboard" alternative was similar in many ways to the original "outboard" proposal. It was a great place to hang out and gave great views of the concerts below. The free mobile app offers Michelin maps and routes with real-time traffic, GPS Navigation with voice guidance and community alerts. This would have provided enough room for 85,000 new apartments, as well as a new 150-acre park. Still, Judge Griesa would not issue construction permits, citing that the evaluation procedures were inadequate. This alternative also would accommodate an underground walkway between the World Financial Center and the World Trade Center (PATH-MTA) underground transit facilities. It was split into two sections, Section one went from Canal Street to 59th Street. [6], On January 20, 1926, borough president Miller sent a plan for an $11 million elevated highway to be built completely on city property to the Board of Estimate. (Photo by Parsons-Brinckerhoff.). The tracks had been on the surface for 55 years despite legal action taken against them, and Miller claimed they would be there for another 50 if nothing were done. [52] This section was expanded to reach Duane Street in the north, and was opened on November 29, 1948. This section eliminated a busy intersection at 42nd Street, where streetcars and automobiles crossed the corridor to reach the ferry to Weehawken, New Jersey. Indeed, a truly progressive solution would have been a Westway highway tunnel for I-478 express traffic, beneath a waterfront boulevard that would actually be able serve more as a low speed boulevard, with a waterfront trolley in the fashion of what was recently done along the Embarcadero in San Francisco.Alexander Medwedew added the following post:The striped bass argument against Westway really was bogus. RIGHT: Shortly after the collapse, the entire length of the West Side Highway was closed to all traffic. (Photo by Steve Anderson.). This street will be closed Friday from 9 am to 3 pm through 11/30/20 to facilitate concrete operation. [38], Construction on the highway between 38th Street and 46th Street was begun in late 1933. My friends and I took in many a pier concert from that highway. When the highway, known officially as the Miller Elevated Highway (named after former Manhattan Borough President Julius Miller), was constructed, it was well suited to its purpose and location. [15] In addition, the West Washington Market would no longer be demolished, and instead the highway would graze the roofs of some of the stores. Section two was to carry the road over the NYCRR's 60th Street Yard from 59th Street to 72nd Street. The planned highway would no longer go to the Battery, instead ending at Canal Street, meeting the Holland Tunnel (which would open to traffic on November 13, 1927). Before the West Side Highway was built, the road along the Hudson River was busy, with significant cross traffic going to docks and ferries. [35], Construction of the elevated highway between 22nd Street and 38th Street was begun on June 21, 1932. He cited traffic congestion as an extra cost of doing business and a blockage for fire engines. After three more years of delays and additional study, the Corps determined that at most, one-third of the striped bass in the Hudson would not survive the dredging and construction process. [12] On October 18, the Board of Estimate approved section one. Above ground, the alternative would have accommodated six lanes for local traffic. A three-foot (1 m) sidewalk would be built for pedestrians, although the highway was intended mainly for motor vehicles.
