CITY NEWS: In a recent report about the city’s transportation infrastructure, the Automobile Club of America says the city’s roads are outdated, poorly designed and require excessive maintenance. The worst trouble spot in the city is the ramp from the northbound Major Deegan Expressway in the Bronx to the George Washington Bridge. Researchers say the ramp is dangerous and too narrow for traffic. The Gowanus Expressway in Brooklyn has no shoulders for breakdowns and can cause traffic nightmares all the way to Staten Island. Another traffic hot spot is at the Brooklyn Queens Expressway between Hamilton Avenue and Tillary Street. And the 77-year-old Goethals Bridge is too narrow for modern day traffic.
