Just the way my brain works and too lazy to look it up.

I'd estimate about three miles. 20 blocks to a mile in NYC. Empire State at 34th. HH Pkwy at around 100th.

IIRC.

Actually, IIRC from driving by, that particular patch has always looked a little untended, and I'm sure it's probably at least 50 years old if not more. At least I hope it's not new construction made with Mafia cement or anything like that...

I think it would be a miracle if no one is under that mound of dirt and debris. At 4 pm that road was crawling.

Oops...guess I'm about 5 miles off.

I'm sure someone will look it up on Mapquest.

Maybe they'll find Jimmy Hoffa under there.

I think the dirt would have slid any vehicles sideways,as opposed to just burrying them from above. But I'm no expert.

That will effect traffic for some time, no?

The GW Bridge is at 181st St. - that's supposedly where this happened. I think 8 miles would be more like it.

Who knows what (or who) they'll find under there!

If one section is that shaky, I imagine the rest is also.
They'll probably close it for a coupla months and shore up the entire bank for??how many miles??

I'm an ex-New Yorker, and the infrastructure is so old there, it's a wonder there aren't more collapses of this kind, and of buildings and water mains, etc.

Looks like some NYC residents will need a SUV to get home.
