3. The Sheridan Expressway

The Sheridan Expressway is the work of Robert Moses as well and to this day remains unchanged from its original construction. Not only has it become an eyesore for the Hunts Point community which falls directly under several lanes of highway overpass, but according to a recent NYC Department of City Planning report, its surrounding areas are “congested, confusing, and unwelcoming.” However, the short throughway, as we have previously reported, is being reimagined to free up the crippled neighborhoods and the Bronx River Waterfront.
