New York City's road infrastructure is a marvel of urban engineering, born out of necessity and a relentless pursuit of space optimization. From the multi-layered ramps of the Port Authority Bus Terminal that seamlessly integrate with the Lincoln Tunnel's exclusive bus lane, to the complex Bronx interchange where I-95 and I-87 meet, the city constantly stacks highways and tunnels to accommodate massive traffic flows. Even outside the city, the sprawling highway tangle around Newark International Airport serves as a crucial gateway, handling planes, ships, trucks, and commuters. The iconic Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and the two-decked FDR Drive further exemplify how New York forces infrastructure into limited spaces, often with historical roots tied to figures like Robert Moses. This intricate network, though chaotic at first glance, is a testament to human ingenuity in shaping an environment where every inch counts.
