The New York City area had many planned expressways and parkways that did not come to fruition due to community opposition and the freeway revolt. As a result, the network is only a fraction of its intended size. Evidence of the larger network abouts, such as I-78 ending just after crossing through the Holland Tunnel, NY/NJ 495, the stub endings of I-295 and the Korean War Veterans Parkway, stubs on NY 440, and even an unused interchange on I-278 in Staten Island that was only recently removed. The images above are from a 1964 report developed by the Tri-State Transportation Comission and published in the May 1964 edition of Regional Plan Association News, available on Steve Anderson's NYCRoads.com. The network is also roughly shown in a fictional map created by Vanshnookenraggen.
