New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently announced that construction has begun on a project to create a continuous auxiliary lane on a portion of the Staten Island Expressway.
The Staten Island Expressway represents a portion of Interstate 278 that stretches east-west across Staten Island for less than 10 miles. In its entirety, I-278 runs for about 35 miles, linking Linden, N.J., to the Bronx, N.Y.
