Long Island Expressway | Hwy 495 26/04/2015 15h37
View from a yellowcab from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to midtown Manhattan. This is the intersection of the Expressway 678 "Van Wyck Expy" and the Expressway 495 "Long Island Expy". It's like turning left towards Manhattan at this point when coming from JFK. Traffic was quite busy for a Sunday afternoon.

Interstate 495 (New York)
Interstate 495 (I-495, also known as the LIE or simply the Expressway by locals) is an auxiliary Interstate Highway on Long Island in New York in the United States. The route extends for 71 miles (114 km) from the western portal of the Queens–Midtown Tunnel in the New York City borough of Manhattan to County Route 58 (CR 58) in Riverhead, Suffolk County. I-495 does not intersect its parent route, I-95. However, it does connect to I-95 through I-295, which it meets in Queens. The portion of I-495 in Nassau and Suffolk counties is known as the Long Island Expressway (LIE), a name commonly applied to the entirety of I-495. The section of the route from the Queens-Midtown Tunnel to Queens Boulevard is also named the Queens–Midtown Expressway west of Queens Boulevard, and the Horace Harding Expressway east of Queens Boulevard until the Queens-Nassau county line, though both names are not often used in common parlance and most signage refers only to the Long Island Expressway. The service roads of the expressway from the New York City line to Sills Road are officially designated, but not signed, as New York State Route 906A and New York State Route 906B.
Length: 114.30 km
Existed: 1958 – present
