What if NYC was planning the-mother-of-all-bridges to connect New Jersey and Queens, stretching over Manhattan? What are your initial thoughts?
Opinions online have been mixed, from the tongue in cheek
@patkiernan @CurbedNY Well, for one thing the smell of hairspray and Axe body spray on the bridge would be unbearable.

To the down right weird.
@patkiernan @CurbedNY There would be so many people trying to urinate off of it.

The tripple-decker bridge is planed to be along 38th and 39th street, bottom level accommodating trains, middle for mag-lev trains and the top level for pedestrians and cyclists… yeah, that’s right, no cars, or as one queens resident put’s it:
@patkiernan@CurbedNY No cars? Lame. The only reason I would want this would be to bring Christmas decorations from family home in NJ to QNS

If the project does get off of the ground it has an estimated budget of $20 billion. Once complete revenue will be generated from tolls paid by buses, limos, taxis NJ transit and Amtrak.
@PIX11News@gregmocker Imagine the price of the toll for that bridge.

I guess the real question is, without allowing cars, and assuming the toll is as expensive as we expect, will this bridge really alleviate traffic from the streets of NYC. In my eyes it remains to be seen, but what do you think reader?
