They should get AOC championing this project. I hear she’s real good selling big projects to the populace.

I’m not concerned... With the imminent catastrophic rise in the Atlantic due to globull warming, most of Brooklyn and Queens will end up under water in five years or so... AOC told us so...

If memory serves, they’ve been tunneling under NYC for the better part of 100 years. I bet there’s plenty down there that isn’t on the official records. Plenty of surprises would likely be in store.

One problem with a tunnel of that length is, all it takes is a bad accident tie-up to close it.

Traffic on the Brooklyn Queens DISTRESSway can be a big PITA. Like the Cross Bronx and LIE, when it first opened in the 50's it was declared "complete and obsolete". Interestingly, back in the 60's and 70's on Fri and Sat nights the Northern end of the BQE, called the Connecting Hwy, between Northern Blvd and the Grand Central Pkwy was used as a drag strip. It was there where Rufus Boyd, aka Brooklyn Heavy, considered the Jackie Robinson of drag racing made a name for himself

I am in the business of building tunnels, this is very doable, it is a straight shot, three miles is long enough to make it a machine driven tunnel and the connecting roadway already exist.

They might consider driving two tunnels side by side, one for each direction, for a total of 8 lanes.

Great idea, no street, utility or traffic interferences or relocations.
