It’s been bandied about for quite some time; but they don’t take LI’s roadway system into consideration. 1. LIE exit 64 north (NY 112) 2. NY 25a to same. Needless to say, both would inevitably receive more traffic than their respective situations can allow. But the big failure of the Nutmeg State brain trust is the absolute fury the residents of Port Jefferson would raise after hearing word of a busy thoroughfare slicing the village, especially since both routes aforementioned meet practically in the middle of said village. If the island’s geology allowed it, maybe a bridge-tunnel from it’s beginnings to I-95 at or around Bridgeport’s east side would work with the condition that the span would be tunnel at both ends and a bridge (IMHO cable-stayed) in between. But I’m not a city planner.
