Queens Interboro Expressway, Cross Brooklyn Expressway
Not to be confused with the Interborough Parkway, another highway between Brooklyn and Queens.

The Queens Interboro Expressway and Cross Brooklyn Expressway were two proposed Auxiliary Interstate Highways in the New York City boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn. They were proposed in 1929 and 1941, in 1955 by Robert Moses, and in 1967 under Mayor John Lindsay's "Linear City" plan. The two highways were planned to connect the Triborough Bridge and Queens–Midtown Tunnel to the north, with the Verrazano–Narrows Bridge and John F. Kennedy International Airport to the south, diverting traffic away from existing highways. The highways were proposed as cheaper and less-invasive alternatives to other controversial plans put forward by Moses, to be built on existing right-of-ways.[1][2][3] The plans were shelved in the early 1970s due to local community opposition.[3]

Planned route

In the final proposals for the two highways put forth in the 1960s, most of the route between the Brooklyn Queens Expressway (BQE) in Queens and the Gowanus Expressway in Brooklyn (both part of Interstate 278) would have been built along the right-of-way of the New York Connecting Railroad and the Bay Ridge Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. The two continuous freight-only railroads, the former owned by Amtrak and CSX and the latter used by the New York and Atlantic Railway, would be relocated and incorporated into the new expressways, as would the parallel Canarsie Line of the New York City Subway. The eastern stretch of the Cross Brooklyn Expressway would have been built along the 10-lane wide Linden Boulevard.[1][2][4]

The Queens Interboro Expressway would have begun in Jackson Heights, Queens, where the BQE curves west away from the Connecting Railroad ROW. The expressway would then run south along the railroad corridor through the central Queens neighborhoods of Elmhurst, Middle Village, Ridgewood, and Glendale, with connections to the Long Island Expressway in Elmhurst. Entering Brooklyn in East New York, it would connect with the end of Interboro Parkway (now the Jackie Robinson Parkway). It would then travel south to the current Linden Boulevard, where the junction with the Cross Brooklyn Expressway would be. There were plans to continue the Queens Interboro farther south to the Belt Parkway in Canarsie.[1][2]

The Cross Brooklyn Expressway would have originated at a split from the Gowanus Expressway in Bay Ridge north of the Verrazano Bridge, running east along the LIRR Bay Ridge Branch ROW through central Brooklyn. Past the junction with the Queens Interboro, the Cross Brooklyn would continue along Linden Boulevard to meet an extended Nassau Expressway at the current intersection of Linden Boulevard and Conduit Avenue. This is near the proposed junction of the Nassau Expressway with the cancelled Bushwick Expressway project, which the Cross Brooklyn was slated to replace.[1][2]
