Not that much better a driver experience than the Lincoln or Holland Tunnels (that means pretty sucky.) The Throg's Neck, Verrazano and Tappan Zee bridges are far more driver-pleasing experiences, especially when they are not clogged with traffic (All the bridges and tunnels in the tri-state area were intended to relieve the clogging but ironically it just got worse.)</p> <p>Edit to add: any sane driver these days will avoid the GWB like the plague if at all possible, getting on it is a little like entering a hellish nightmare where you don't know what will happen and you may be stuck for hours, and you will have to pay mightily to cross back over it into NYC  [Toll: Cars $16.00 (cash) $13.75 for Peak (E-ZPass) $11.75 for Off-peak (E-ZPass)] And to be clear, I am not talking tired tropes about NJ itself-it is actually a decent experience for most drivers, it's the GWB itself that's often enough a hellish experience.</p> </div></div></div> Sat, 08 Jan 2022 06:01:46 +0000 artappraiser comment 313068 at http://dagblog.com The Golden Gate was a http://dagblog.com/comment/313042#comment-313042 <a id="comment-313042"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/arts/george-washington-bridge-and-new-jersey-1940s-color-60fps-remastered-wadded-sound-34998">George Washington Bridge and New Jersey 1940s in color [60fps, Remastered] w/added sound</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>The Golden Gate was a Military Fort - IT'S HISTORY</p> <p>You'll probably wonder when they will start talking about the Golden Gate Bridge.
