The Gowanus Canal doesn't frighten me as much as the Gowanus Expressway. Robert Moses's great gift to Brooklyn looks like its going to fall down anyday now on top of Third Avenue.

I have always HATED that road. And it looked like it was going to fall down back in the 60s and 70s.

The Gowanus isn't going anywhere. The problem isn't in the undertructure which is still sound. It's in the patching and the cheap cement they used to pave the road. They need the Roman engineers who paved the Apian way to teach them how to make cement.

Everywhere Moses ordained to build the BQE, he bulldozed entire neighborhoods and slums (on the wrong side of the highway)
