From CBS 2:
A proposal to build a tunnel under the Long Island Sound connecting Nassau and Westchester counties has been dropped.
State Department of Transportation Commissioner Paul Karas said Thursday they decided not to move forward with the plan. Karas did not reveal further details as to why they are abandoning the plan.
A study previously estimated the tunnel could cost up to $55 billion.

We really need another way off the island.
What happened to the tunnel to New London?
A tunnel or bridge is needed for the economic development of the Island. It will also relieve the ever growing traffic congestion through Queens and the Bronx. It will also reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions. Not building at least one other route from Long Island to the main land is a serious neglect of our infrastructure.
On the other hand, a tunnel or bridge is not needed for the economic development of the Island. It will increase the ever growing traffic congestion through Queens and the Bronx. It will also increase fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
Building a route from LI to the mainland has been attempted for many decades, with plenty of resistance from Oyster Bay and whichever town is on the other end for each of these propositions.
The governor said no when he found out that he couldn't name it after his brother.
The Andy Cuomo Trans Sound Tunnel. Has a nice ring to it.
WOW! Now that's a surprise. How much of the taxpayers money has been spent on consultants, studies etc. before this buffoonery was dropped?
