Driving in "HEAVY TRAFFIC" CROSS BRONX EXPRESSWAY | From EXIT 5B TO EXIT 16 | Interstate 95 NORTH

Описание: BEST VIEWED 1080p OR HIGHER... In this video I take a ride in the Cross Bronx Expressway/New England Thruway while driving to the outskirts of New York City in Westchester County. My drive begins near Exit 5B Castle Hill Ave and ends near Exit 16 North Ave, Cedar St, New Rochelle.

The Cross Bronx Expressway connects the George Washington Bridge with the Whitestone and Throgs Neck Bridges, as well as New England, via the New England Thruway. It's one of New York's most controversial highway projects, but at the same time was an engineering marvel when it was opened in 1963.

"Health issues
The Cross Bronx Expressway accounts for a large proportion of the Bronx's roadway pollution.[98][99] Bronx residents are more likely to have asthma than residents of other boroughs, and a large portion of those are children. Because things like dust, pollution, and other allergens serve as factors for developing asthma, children of color living in low-income areas in the Bronx are at risk of suffering from asthma exacerbation. Asthma rates in the Bronx are three times higher than the national average.[98] In the Morris Heights neighborhood of the West Bronx, where the Cross Bronx and Major Deegan Expressways intersect, air-pollution rates are also generally higher than in the rest of the borough.[99] To decrease emissions from the Cross Bronx Expressway, community activists proposed constructing a freeway lid in the early 2020s.[100][101]" WIKIPEDIA

So come along and enjoy the sights and sounds.
