For the record, there was an article in Forbes that graphically portrayed various transportation corridors and means tho indicate those carrying the most freight.
I 81 carries the most freight of any interstate hiway
What I 81 most needs is three or four laning through Virginia
Not to mention that so much of the highways in NYS are a potholed, cracking nightmare. Repair the existing dang roadways first. In any case, considering the way Upstate is depopulating, the tunnel ain’t even needed. This is a boondoggle for union workers. Won’t do a dang thing to keep jobs and taxpayers in NYS. What a Charlie foxtrot.
Upstate is depopulating, the tunnel ain’t even needed....................... They can build it and name it after the great Senator from Arkansas, errr, I mean NY. It will be just as worthless.
I agree. However, don't hold your breath. Thanks in part to Civil War preservation buffs and the usual NIMBYs and enviros, this may not happen until [censored] sticks to the moon.
They could simply try to widen the bores — admittedly taking them out of service temporarily, like you said — like was done to the tunnels on I-70 near Denver, Colorado a few years ago.
