A landmark fourlane-bridge with a massive length of 3.502 miles (5.636 kilometers), the Pulaski Skyway offers much relief to the commuters of Newark and Jersey City. A marvel of civil engineer Sigvald Johannesson, the bridge has been functional since 1932. It consists of two travel lanes each for northbound and southbound travelers. Today, the unprecedented traffic congestion and overcrowding points out the flaws of in the design making it one of the most unreliable roads in America.
Although this historic building might not look like much, it has an interesting history! This 13-story limestone building has a modernist design and was built in 1951. The building looms over the Jay Street-MetroTech subway station because it was the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Transportation Building and was thus the bureaucratic heart of New York's subways. In fact, the building used a private subway train dubbed the "money train" to collect transit fare and used a private elevator in the building to bring the money directly from the subway to the building's "money room." In 1979 the building was the site of a well-coordinated heist and all the cash in the "money room" disappeared. The crime hasn't been solved to this day. By 2006 the building was mostly abandoned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority but the history remains.
