6816-631: The HOV lanes, as opposed to 90 to 120 minutes using the general-purpose lanes. Construction of the HOV lanes within Queens was delayed due to opposition from local officials and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation . The HOV segment in Queens was canceled altogether in 1998, when Governor George Pataki announced that the additional lanes between exits 30 and 32 in Queens would be entrance and exit lanes, rather than HOV lanes.

Officials considered constructing four reversible lanes above the existing highway in Queens; this plan would have cost about $ 100 million (equivalent to $ 771 million in 2023 ). New York City's commissioner of highways also proposed constructing

7242-581: The MME connector in 1936. The plan called for an expressway link crossing Midtown Manhattan near 34th Street , then, as now, a heavily traveled crosstown surface street.

The Horace Harding Expressway section follows

7810-455: The New York state government. The portion of the highway in Nassau and Suffolk counties was built with equal funding from the federal and state governments. The first piece of what is now I-495 – the Queens–Midtown Tunnel , linking Manhattan and Queens – opened to traffic on November 15, 1940. The highway connecting the tunnel to Laurel Hill Boulevard was built around the same time and named

7952-560: The North Fork extension of the LIE. A New York City Subway line along the LIE corridor had been proposed in the 1929 and 1939 IND Second System plans as an extension of the BMT Broadway Line east of the 60th Street Tunnel , prior to the construction of the expressway. These were the predecessors to a line proposed in 1968 as part of the Program for Action . It would have split from

The first section of the highway to open was the 1.1-mile (1.8 km) section between Laurel Hill Boulevard and Maurice Avenue, which opened on February 24, 1955. The six-lane highway ran through Calvary Cemetery . Afterward,

8236-520: The Queens–Midtown Tunnel and Maurice Avenue was converted to a westbound HOV and bus lane during the morning rush hour. Plans to widen I-495 between I-278 and I-678 were announced by New York City mayor John Lindsay in January 1968. Two additional local lanes would be built beside the three existing lanes in each direction. The plans were postponed in 1974 after state voters failed to approve

As part of the reconstruction, two cloverleaf ramps were replaced with flyovers, the shoulders in each direction were converted into travel lanes,

9656-497: The city government, which wanted to build a crosstown tunnel instead. The I-495 designation was removed from the expressway on January 1, 1970. In 1971, New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller removed state plans for the MME, along with about a dozen other highway plans including I-78 through New York City, of which another crosstown highway known as the Lower Manhattan Expressway (LOMEX) was part. Long Island lobbied to extend I-495 east over NY 495. The extension took place in

9798-476: The county executive for Nassau County had advocated for the installation of street lights along a 15-mile (24 km) stretch of the LIE within that county. Despite constant requests from Nassau County officials, no immediate plans were made until 1980, when the first streetlights were installed in eastern Nassau County. The state government planned to add about 1,425 lamps between the Queens–Nassau border and NY 112 (exit 64) since that segment of I-495

9940-475: The early 1980s, at which time the NY 495 signs were taken down and I-495 was extended to the east end of the LIE. The section of I-495 in the vicinity of the Lincoln Tunnel was redesignated as NY 495 at this time. The extension of I-495 to Riverhead makes the highway a spur, which should have an odd first digit according to the Interstate Highway System 's numbering scheme. Even first digits are usually assigned to bypasses, connectors, and beltways, as I-495

10082-481: The eastbound roadway near Springfield Boulevard. By 1972, the highway was being used by over 150,000 vehicles a day. State officials announced plans to designate the segment of the LIE east of I-295 as an Interstate highway following the passage of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1968 . The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials did not formally extend the I-495 designation from New York City to Riverhead until May 1984. Subsequently,

10224-451: The entirety of the LIE was designated as I-495. The ramp from the westbound I-495 to the westbound I-278 in Queens was so congested that a traffic light was installed on that ramp in 1962. State officials planned to reconstruct the interchange, although the project was delayed for several years. In addition, they planned to build a six-lane viaduct above the existing highway between I-278 and 58th Street, which would carry traffic to and from

10366-552: The expressway or its service roads or in the median of a widened LIE in a similar manner to the Blue Line of the Chicago "L" . It had been previously proposed to run the line from the 63rd Street tunnel under Northern Boulevard to Flushing (near the current Flushing–Main Street station ), then south under Kissena and Parsons boulevards to meet with the LIE at Queens College. The LIE line

10508-463: The expressway's pavement. The 0.9-mile (1.4 km) segment of the LIE near the Clearview Interchange , between Peck Avenue and 224th Street, officially opened on August 12, 1960. The interchange itself, which contained eight ramps and eight overpasses, was not open at the time because I-295 was still under construction. Between 1961 and 1963, in advance of the 1964 New York World's Fair ,

10650-653: The expressway; buildings would be constructed below the viaduct as well. One unusual variation involved running the roadway through the sixth and seventh floors of the Empire State Building . In 1963, plans for the expressway were finalized, and it received the I-495 designation. Beginning from its elevated connections to 12th Avenue ( NY 9A ) or the West Side Highway, the MME would mostly follow 30th Street east of Ninth Avenue . The expressway would travel east as

10792-545: The extension of the Bethpage State Parkway near Washington Avenue in Plainview. The site of exit 47 is now a truck inspection site between exits 46 and 48, which opened in 2006. The original right-of-ways for the service roads between exits 48 and 49 were intended to weave around the steep Manetto Hills area of the main road, rather than running parallel to the road as it does today. The land between

10934-438: The first Best Actress award for performances in three films. Beginning with the second ceremony, performers received separate nominations for individual films; no performer has received multiple nominations in the same category since the 3rd Academy Awards . For the first six ceremonies, the eligibility period ran from 1 August to 31 July. The 6th Academy Awards' eligibility ran from 1 August 1932 to 31 December 1933, and as of

11076-532: The first installment of what would informally come to be known as his " paranoia trilogy." Klute , the story of a relationship between a private eye (played by Donald Sutherland ) and a call girl (played by Jane Fonda , who won an Oscar for her performance), was a commercial and critical success. This was followed in 1974 by The Parallax View starring Warren Beatty , a labyrinthine post- Watergate thriller involving political assassinations. The film has been noted for its experimental use of hypnotic imagery in

11218-454: The first section of the LIE in Suffolk County, from the Nassau border to NY 110 in Melville , began in February 1960. Supporters of the highway believed that its completion would reduce traffic on Long Island's west–east arterial roads. Over the next decade, the completion of the LIE in Suffolk County spurred significant population growth in communities along its route. Over one-third of

11360-488: The highway employs two sets of collector–distributor roads through this area: one between 69th and 99th streets and one between the Grand Central Parkway and I-678. The expressway continues east as a six-lane highway, veering to the southeast to bypass Kissena Park before curving back to the northeast to meet the Clearview Expressway ( I-295 ) at the northern edge of Cunningham Park . Past I-295, I-495 passes by

11502-453: The highway narrows to six lanes; additionally, the concrete Jersey barrier gives way to a wide, grassy median , the asphalt road surface is replaced by a concrete surface, and the expressway is no longer illuminated by streetlights, reflecting the road's location in a more rural area of Long Island. From NY 112 east, the expressway runs through more rural, woodland areas on its trek towards Riverhead . At exit 66 (County Route 101),

11644-436: The highway passes through the site of the tunnel's former toll plaza and becomes the Queens–Midtown Expressway as it travels through the western portion of the borough . A mile (1.6 km) after entering Queens, I-495 meets I-278 ( Brooklyn–Queens Expressway ) at exit 17, then briefly becomes a two-level, 12-lane highway traveling across Calvary Cemetery . Merging into one level at Maurice Avenue, I-495 continues through

11786-403: The lanes at designated junctions. Originally, the HOV lanes were restricted to passenger vehicles with at least two occupants. Starting in 2006, drivers of certain hybrid vehicle models were allowed to use the lanes even if they were driving alone. By 2014, over one-third of all traffic on the LIE between exits 32 and 64 used the HOV lane during peak hours. NYSDOT contemplated restricting

11928-481: The lanes to passenger vehicles with at least three occupants but ultimately decided against this change. I-495 was constructed in stages from 1940 to 1972. Its completion was intended to alleviate congestion along local roads on Long Island. Most of the highway in Queens was built as part of the Interstate Highway System , with 90 percent funding from the federal government and 10 percent from

12070-446: The largest bloc, numbering 1,359 (14.1% of the voting body). Votes have been certified by the auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers , and its predecessor Price Waterhouse , since the 7th Academy Awards in 1935. In May 2011, the Academy sent a letter advising its 6,000 or so voting members that an online system for Oscar voting would be implemented in 2013, replacing mailed paper ballots. All AMPAS members must be invited to join by

12212-577: The main road. Ramps on the east side of the Long Island Motor Parkway and west side of NY 111 would be eliminated as part of the interchange's construction. Between exits 57 and 58, there was a proposed extension of the Northern State Parkway . Prior to the construction of the interchange with CR 97 (Nicolls Road), exit 62 was for Morris and Waverly avenues eastbound and Morris Avenue westbound. Exit 68

12354-496: The mainline expressway could be widened, and rebuilding the at-grade junction between College Point Boulevard and Horace Harding Expressway. The interchange with Grand Central Parkway was rebuilt from early 2015 to February 2018, with the replacement of the three overpasses carrying I-495 over the parkway. The $ 55-million (equivalent to $ 65.7 million in 2023 ) reconstruction included extending merge lanes, replacing and adding lighting, and improving drainage structures. As I-495

12496-407: The median between 207th Street and the Queens–Nassau border. The remainder of the highway in Queens still contained chainlink fences, which were expensive to repair and could not prevent head-on collisions. In 1970, work commenced on a two-year project to install a Jersey barrier in the median of I-495 from 108th Street to Little Neck Parkway, replacing a 12-foot-wide (3.7 m) median. Plans for

12638-423: The names of those who have been invited to join. In 2012, the results of a study conducted by the Los Angeles Times were published describing the demographic breakdown of approximately 88% of AMPAS' voting membership. Of the 5,100+ active voters confirmed, 94% were Caucasian , 77% were male, and 54% were found to be over the age of 60. 33% of voting members are former nominees (14%) and winners (19%). In 2016,

12780-579: The neighborhoods of Maspeth , Elmhurst , and Rego Park . East of NY 25 ( Queens Boulevard ) in Rego Park, I-495 becomes the Horace Harding Expressway. I-495 heads northeast through Corona to Flushing Meadows–Corona Park , intersecting both the Grand Central Parkway and the Van Wyck Expressway ( I-678 ) within the park limits. Because the interchanges in this area are close together,

12922-417: The new roadway, which was estimated to cost $ 26 million (equivalent to $ 264 million in 2023 ) to construct, excluding $ 23 million (equivalent to $ 233 million in 2023 ) in land acquisition costs. A later proposal had the roadway situated 10 stories above valuable commercial real estate. Air rights above the expressway would be sold and new highrise buildings would be constructed above

13064-613: The next month by another 2.7-mile (4.3 km) segment from Deer Park Road to Commack Road. A further 6.5-mile (10.5 km) extension opened to NY 454 in August 1963. Three more sections of the LIE, from Islandia to exit 71 near Riverhead, were completed in 1969 and 1970. The 5.3-mile (8.5 km) segment from Veterans Memorial Highway to Patchogue–Holbrook Road was opened on October 27, 1966, by governor Nelson Rockefeller . The discontinuous section of highway between William Floyd Parkway and exit 71 opened in June 1969 and

13206-519: The night of the awards. In 1940, the Los Angeles Times announced the winners before the ceremony began. As a result, in 1941 the Academy started using a sealed envelope to reveal the names of the winners. The term "Oscar" is a registered trademark of the AMPAS. In the Italian language, it is used generically to refer to any award or award ceremony, regardless of which field. The first Best Actor awarded

13348-622: The nominees only in their respective categories, i.e. only directors vote for directors, writers for writers, actors for actors, etc. In the special case of Best Picture, all voting members are eligible to select the nominees. In all major categories, a variant of the single transferable vote is used, with each member casting a ballot with up to five nominees (ten for Best Picture) ranked preferentially. In certain categories, including International Feature Film, Documentary and Animated Feature, nominees are selected by special screening committees made up of members from all branches. In most categories,

13490-476: The nominees were announced in March. In 2022, the nominees were announced in early February for the first time since 2003. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), a professional honorary organization, maintains a voting membership of 9,487 as of 2022 . Academy membership is divided into different branches, with each representing a different discipline in film production. As of 2022 , actors constitute

13632-517: The old Midtown Highway became known as the "Queens–Midtown Expressway". The entire highway from Laurel Hill Boulevard (by this point upgraded into the Brooklyn–Queens Expressway ) to the junction of Queens Boulevard (NY 24 and NY 25 ) and Horace Harding Boulevard ( NY 25D ) opened on November 5, 1955. This 3.2-mile (5.1 km) section of the LIE had cost $ 29.5 million (equivalent to $ 262 million in 2023 ) and

13774-514: The option of having engraved nameplates applied to their statuettes at an inscription-processing station at the Governor's Ball, a party held immediately after the Oscar ceremony. The R.S. Owens company has engraved nameplates made before the ceremony, bearing the name of every potential winner. The nameplates for the non-winning nominees are later recycled. Prior to 1950, Oscar statuettes were, and remain,

13916-534: The outset, a minimum speed limit of 40 mph (64 km/h) was enforced on the segment of the LIE in Nassau and Suffolk counties. On September 30, 1958, the first section of the LIE outside New York City, a five-mile (8.0 km) segment from the Queens–Nassau county line to Willis Avenue in Roslyn Heights , officially opened to traffic. The section of the LIE between Roslyn and the Nassau–Suffolk border

14058-536: The passage of a $ 3-billion (equivalent to $ 6.67 billion in 2023 ) bond issue that year, the state proposed marking the additional lanes as HOV lanes. The state approved the construction of these lanes east of the Cross Island Parkway in 1991. The lanes were built in sections. The first section to open, a 12-mile (19 km) section in western Suffolk County, was opened in May 1994; two additional sections opened in 1998 and 1999. The lanes soon became well known due to

14200-515: The path of Horace Harding Boulevard (also previously called Nassau Boulevard), which was named for J. Horace Harding (1863–1929), a finance magnate who directed the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad and the New York Municipal Railways System. Harding used his influence to promote the development of Long Island's roadways, lending strong support to Robert Moses 's "great parkway plan". Harding also urged construction of

14342-490: The plans soon after they were announced. In 1954, New York State Governor Thomas E. Dewey approved plans for the LIE, extending 64 miles (103 km) between the Queens–Nassau border and Riverhead. Moses and New York City mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr. said that the proposed highway would not charge tolls, regardless of whether the expressway received federal funding under the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1952 . From

14484-524: The previous year's winners for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress present the awards for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor. In recent years, this has been replaced by each acting award being introduced by five previous winners, each of whom introduces one of the nominated performances. On February 9, 2020, Parasite became the first foreign-language film to win Best Picture at the 92nd Academy Awards . The 93rd Academy Awards ceremony, honoring

14626-503: The probable first public mention of the name "Oscar", in journalist Relman Morin 's "Cinematters" column in the Los Angeles Evening Post-Record on December 5, 1933. Since the awards didn't take place that year, he said: "What's happened to the annual Academy banquet? As a rule, the banquet and the awarding of "Oscar", the bronze statuette given for best performances, is all over long before this". This information changes

14768-471: The project was reducing their income and isolating their businesses from surrounding neighborhoods. A 1.5-mile (2.4 km) section of the LIE near Alley Pond Park in eastern Queens, between Cloverdale Boulevard in Bayside and Little Neck Parkway, officially opened on September 25, 1957. The highway segment reduced the need for cars to use West Alley Road, a winding road that crossed the park. Construction on

14910-499: The property of the recipient. Since then the statuettes have been legally encumbered by the requirement that the statuette be first offered for sale back to the Academy for US$ 1. If a winner refuses to agree to this stipulation, then the Academy keeps the statuette. Academy Awards predating this agreement have been sold in public auctions and private deals for six-figure sums. In 1989, Michael Todd's grandson tried to sell Todd's Best Picture Oscar for his 1956 production of Around

15052-574: The section between Queens Boulevard in Elmhurst and Parsons Boulevard in Pomonok was several years behind schedule, but this section was open by mid-1959. For several months, the highway abruptly terminated at Parsons Boulevard, and barriers funneled traffic onto the service road; the highway was extended to Peck Avenue in Fresh Meadows in late 1959. The section of the LIE west of the Clearview Expressway

15194-414: The service road and the main road was reserved for housing developments. The right-of-way for the original westbound service road still weaves through the development on the north side of the road. Exit 49 was originally a cloverleaf interchange with the outer ramps connecting to the service roads at a point closer to NY 110 . This was in preparation for NY 110's formerly proposed upgrade into

15336-503: The service roads become fragmented, and they fully terminate at exit 68 ( William Floyd Parkway ). Exit 70 ( CR 111 ) in Manorville is the last full interchange, as it is the last interchange that allows eastbound traffic on, and the first to allow westbound off. After exit 71 ( NY 24 /Nugent Drive), the expressway begins to narrow as it approaches its eastern terminus. Until 2008, just before exit 72 (NY 25),

15478-479: The south, while the portion of the freeway east of the Clearview Expressway became NY 495 (and later, I-495). By 1958, it was estimated that the entire highway would not be completed until 1970. Real-estate developers believed that the LIE's construction was not proceeding quickly enough, and Suffolk County's supervisors also advocated for the highway to be completed as soon as possible. Bidding for

15620-590: The thread connecting many of them was a style that emphasized and explored the psychology and motivations of his characters." He was the subject of the 2023 documentary, Alan Pakula: Going for Truth . Pakula was born in The Bronx , New York, to Polish Jewish parents, Jeanette (née Goldstein) and Paul Pakula. He was educated at The Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania , and Yale University , where he majored in drama. Pakula started his Hollywood career as an assistant in

15762-412: The three eastbound lanes narrowed to two, which, in turn, narrowed almost immediately to a single lane at exit 73, which lies 800 feet (240 m) east of exit 72. As of 2008 , of the two lanes, one lane is designated for exit 72 and the other is for exit 73, which ends the squeeze into a single lane that formerly existed at exit 73. At exit 73, all traffic along the expressway

15904-590: The two parking areas. These ramps would have been accessible from the service roads. The westbound offramp and service road at exit 54 (Wicks Road/ CR 7 ) originally terminated at the Long Island Motor Parkway , east of Wicks Road. The westbound onramp was squeezed between the northwest corner of the Wicks Road bridge and exit 53. Excessive weaving between exits 52, 53, and 54 caused NYSDOT to combine all three interchanges into one and replace

16046-483: The two projects had increased to $ 55 million (equivalent to $ 507 million in 2023 ), of which the Queens–Midtown Expressway was to cost $ 21 million (equivalent to $ 193 million in 2023 ). To help fund the Queens–Midtown Expressway, Moses reallocated funding from two other highway projects in early 1953. That October, the New York City Planning Commission approved a minor revision to

16188-408: The version of Sidney Skolsky as the first to publicly mention the name. To prevent information identifying the Oscar winners from leaking ahead of the ceremony, Oscar statuettes presented at the ceremony have blank baseplates. Until 2010, winners returned their statuettes to the Academy and had to wait several weeks to have their names inscribed on their respective Oscars. Since 2010, winners have had

16330-559: The war, the Academy invited recipients to redeem the plaster figures for gold-plated metal ones. The only addition to the Oscar since it was created is a minor streamlining of the base. The original Oscar mold was cast in 1928 at the C.W. Shumway & Sons Foundry in Batavia , Illinois, which also contributed to casting the molds for the Vince Lombardi Trophy and Emmy Award statuettes. From 1983 to 2015, approximately 50 Oscars in

16472-524: The west-to-southbound offramp to the Sagtikos State Parkway with a flyover ramp. Exit 54 was eliminated during this project. Exit 55A was meant to be a trumpet interchange for the Hauppauge Spur of NY 347 , between the Long Island Motor Parkway (exit 55) and NY 111 (exit 56). The service roads were intended to go around the interchange rather than run parallel to

16614-489: The westbound exit 31 to Douglaston Parkway was closed, and new collector–distributor ramps were installed east of the Cross Island Parkway interchange. Starting in 2004, NYSDOT examined proposals to reconfigure exit 22 with I-678 and the Grand Central Parkway in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park . These included plans to construct direct ramps between the highways, relocating the service roads of I-495 so

16756-699: The western portal of the Queens–Midtown Tunnel in the New York City borough of Manhattan to County Route 58 (CR 58) in Riverhead in the east. I-495 intersects with I-295 in Bayside, Queens , through which it connects with I-95 . The 2017 route log erroneously shows the section of highway between I-278 in Long Island City and I-678 in Corona as New York State Route 495 (NY 495). The LIE designation, despite being commonly applied to all of I-495 east of

16898-480: The winner is selected from among the nominees by plurality voting of all members. Since 2009, the Best Picture winner has been chosen by instant runoff voting . Since 2013, re-weighted range voting has been used to select the nominees for the Best Visual Effects . Long Island Expressway Interstate 495 ( I-495 ) is an auxiliary Interstate Highway in southeastern New York state. It

17040-482: Was Emil Jannings , for his performances in The Last Command and The Way of All Flesh . As he had to return to Europe before the ceremony, the Academy agreed to give him the prize early, making him the first Academy Award recipient. For the first Awards , winners were recognized for multiple films during the qualifying period; Jannings received the award for two movies in which he starred , and Janet Gaynor won

17182-461: Was $ 5 - $ 89 at 2023 prices. Fifteen statuettes were awarded, honoring artists, directors, and other participants in the film-making industry of the time, for their works during the 1927–28 period. The ceremony ran for 15 minutes. For this first ceremony, winners were announced to the media three months earlier. For the second ceremony in 1930, and the rest of the first decade, the results were given to newspapers for publication at 11:00 pm on

17324-484: Was another commercial hit, considered by many critics and fans to be one of the best thrillers of the 1970s. Pakula scored another hit in 1982 with Sophie's Choice , starring Meryl Streep . His screenplay, based on the novel by William Styron , was nominated for an Academy Award. Later commercial successes included Presumed Innocent , based on the bestselling novel by Scott Turow , and The Pelican Brief , an adaptation of John Grisham 's bestseller. His final film

17466-550: Was approved in July 1968. The line was opposed by many residents of the surrounding communities because it would entail widening I-495, which would necessitate the demolition of nearby homes. By 1973, the final design for the Northeast Queens LIE line was published. The LIE line was canceled later that year because state residents had voted against a $ 3.5-billion (equivalent to $ 18.3 billion in 2023 ) bond measure that would have paid for five subway extensions, including

17608-441: Was being built across Long Island, it was specifically designed to accommodate certain topographical conditions and proposed interchanges. Exit 30 was originally a partial cloverleaf interchange with the Cross Island Parkway , while eastbound exit 30S was for Easthampton Boulevard with a connecting ramp to the southbound Cross Island Parkway. Exit 31 was originally a westbound only interchange for Douglaston Parkway; it

17750-454: Was designated as I-495 in October 1958. The windmill interchange with the Clearview Expressway ( I-295 ) in Bayside was the last section of the LIE in New York City to be completed. Construction on that interchange had started in January 1959. By early 1960, the LIE saw more than 120,000 vehicles per day, although congestion frequently built up at Bayside. The marshy land in the vicinity of Flushing Meadows–Corona Park caused cracking on

17892-631: Was designated in its entirety as NY 24. The old surface alignment of NY 24 south of the expressway became NY 24A . The LIE was extended east from Glen Cove Road to NY 106 / NY 107 in Jericho on October 8, 1960, and was then opened to South Oyster Bay Road in Syosset in December 1960. By 1962, the NY ;24 designation was removed from the LIE and reassigned to its former surface alignment to

18034-501: Was driving on the Long Island Expressway in Melville, New York , when a driver in front of him hit a metal pipe, causing it to crash through Pakula’s windshield and strike him in the head. His car swerved off the road and into a fence. He was taken to North Shore University Hospital , where he was pronounced dead. Academy Award The Academy Awards , commonly known as the Oscars , are awards for artistic and technical merit for

18176-523: Was extended west to Holbrook in December 1969. A six-mile (9.7 km) segment between Horseblock Road and Holbrook, connecting the two sections of the LIE, continued for several months. After this section opened on June 9, 1970, the LIE was continuous between Manhattan and Riverhead. There were delays in constructing the easternmost two miles (3.2 km) of the LIE from exit 71 to CR 58 . The extension to CR 58 opened to traffic on June 28, 1972. Officials had originally predicted that

18318-581: Was followed in November 1959 by a contract for the section between South Oyster Bay Road and the Suffolk County border. The LIE was extended to Glen Cove Road in Roslyn on September 29, 1959, with ramps to and from the Northern State Parkway . By this time, the LIE was continuous between Bayside and Roslyn. After the Clearview Interchange opened, the LIE was continuous between Manhattan and Roslyn, and it

18460-568: Was funded by the TBTA , of which Moses was chair. NY 24 initially remained routed on Laurel Hill and Queens boulevards. The LIE was built over much of Horace Harding Boulevard within eastern Queens and Power House Road within western Nassau County . Prior to the LIE's construction, the route was designated as NY 25D. As part of his March 1951 proposal for the Queens–Midtown Expressway, Moses proposed widening an 8.5-mile (13.7 km) stretch of Horace Harding Boulevard between Queens Boulevard and

18602-421: Was heavily used. East of NY 112, vehicle usage dropped sharply, so no lights were planned. The final streetlights were installed in 2002. As early as October 1968, state officials had wanted to widen the highway between I-295 and NY 135 from 6 to 10 lanes. In late 1988, the New York state government proposed adding a fourth lane in each direction to I-495 between Jericho and Medford. Following

18744-437: Was initially controversial; at a public hearing in late 1957, 100 homeowners criticized the alignment of that section of highway. By early the next year, work had commenced on the section of the LIE between Guinea Woods Road (now Glen Cove Road ) and Jericho Turnpike. The New York state government awarded a construction contract for the section of the LIE between Jericho Turnpike and South Oyster Bay Road in June 1959. This

18886-603: Was later combined with the exit for Little Neck Parkway. Exit 39A was intended for the proposed extension of the Wantagh State Parkway near Powell Road in Old Westbury. It was intended to be a full Y interchange with an east-to-southbound-only offramp and a north-to-westbound-only onramp running beneath Powell Road. Exit 40 originally had only same-directional offramps under the expressway providing access to realigned sections of NY 25 . When exit 41

19028-489: Was originally constructed, it had no south-to-west connecting ramp. Westbound access to the expressway was provided at the nearby exit 40 onramp at NY 25. An alternate design for exit 42 called for it to be similar to the one proposed for NY 135 and the Bethpage State Parkway , and westbound exit 46 was originally a partial cloverleaf. Exit 47 was never built; it had been intended for

19170-533: Was originally planned to be built as a cloverleaf interchange without collective–distributor roads.
