Cross-bronx Expressway
The
Cross-Bronx Expressway
is a highway in
New York City
. It passes through
Manhattan
and
The Bronx
, connecting the
George Washington Bridge
with the
Throgs Neck
, and
Bronx Whitestone
bridges. The expressway is designated
Interstate 95
between the George Washington Bridge and the Bruckner Interchange, at which point it becomes
I-295
until it ends at the Throgs Neck.
Robert Moses
led the construction of the expressway. Many have blamed the Cross-Bronx Expressway for the decay of neighborhoods in the South Bronx. In his book,
The Power Broker
,
Robert Caro
argues that Moses intentionally directed the expressway through poor neighborhoods. Many of the neighborhoods it runs through have been continually poor since before its construction. The expressway is one of the main routes for shipping and transportation through New York City due to its connections with
New Jersey
via the George Washington Bridge,
Long Island
via the Throgs Neck Bridge, Upstate
New York
and Manhattan via
Interstate 87
and the
Triborough Bridge
, and
New England
via the
New England Thruway
(
Interstate 95
) and the
Hutchinson River Parkway
.
