Interstate 278

From Free net encyclopedia

Template:Routeboxint

Interstate 278 (abbreviated I-278) is an Interstate Highway in the U.S. states of New Jersey and New York. Despite its number, it does not connect to I-78, though a western extension was planned to I-78 east of the Route 24 interchange. The majority of I-278 is in New York City, serving local traffic; it passes through all five boroughs (though through Manhattan only because the Triborough Bridge crosses Wards Island, which is technically part of Manhattan).

Like most Interstates, I-278 is mainly owned by the state, but the New York City Department of Transportation owns two older sections, near downtown Brooklyn and north of Queens Boulevard. [1]

Description (from west to east)

The short New Jersey segment begins in Linden at the junction with U.S. Route 1/US 9 and goes east into Elizabeth to its other New Jersey interchange, with Route 439 (the original Goethals Bridge approach) and the New Jersey Turnpike (Interstate 95). It crosses the Arthur Kill on the 4-lane Goethals Bridge to Staten Island, a borough of New York City.

After crossing into New York, I-278 uses the following named highways:

I-278's eastern terminus is the Bruckner Interchange. Here, I-95 continues the Bruckner Expressway towards the New England Thruway.
