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.
