How do I get to the Lincoln Tunnel from Interstate 78?
Plan B : Take I-95 North The New Jersey Turnpike exit, Following signs for the Lincoln Tunnel The problem with using the Lincoln is that when you get into Manhattan things get ugly if you're a neophyte NY driver. Plan A : Use the Holland Tunnel When you get into Manhattan ,keep exiting right and onto Laight street and then use The West Side Hwy/RT 9 A heading uptown. Basically you just did a 270 degree turn Make a right on 40th st go 3 .5 blocks and parking will be on your left
Somerville is an incredible place to live, especially if you enjoy urban living. There is a tremendous variety of art, culture, nightlife and music happening right here, to say nothing of a gourmet food scene that will knock your socks off :) It's also minutes from downtown Boston by car, and depending on where you are in town right on the subway as well. I have found as a home owner and former renter that the city makes it incredibly easy to get the services you need - the website is great and if you have any questions just call 311 to get a human who'll help get you what you need in short order.There's a great deal of ethnic and cultural diversity here which keeps things lively, and an incredible independent art scene - check out the Somerville Open Studios - you could easily spend the entire weekend touring art spaces and not scratch the surface of what the city has to offer.Here are some examples to get you started:* Music - Johnny D's Johnny D's Uptown Restaurant and Music Club, Boston is a great place to have dinner and see a live music show or enjoy some jazz guitar over brunch on Sunday mornings.* Food - Journeyman Journeyman Restaurant serves up some gastronomical delights that will positively wow and bedazzle your palate, and if you indulge in the pleasures of alchohol don't forget a visit to their adjoining bar - backbar | by journeyman for some positively first rate mixology and an incredible space with a laid back cozy vibe.* Events - Honk - Festival of Activist Street Bands defiies description but what an incredible weekend! Marching bands from outer space invade the city. It's a hoot :) Somerville Porchfest - Porchfest | sac - myriad bands converge in Somerville and take over people's porches to perform, so the city becomes one big live stage. It's great :)* Arts - Somerville Open Studios - Somerville Open StudiosHope that gives you a sense of what it's like to live here. I love it, and wouldn't want to live anywhere else truth be told. To quote a friend, "Somerville has all the merits of living in Cambridge, except you can let your hair down and relax.".
The Lincoln Tunnel was built 100 feet below the Hudson River. Very nearly all the length is through river silt, though there was some boring through rock on the Manhattan side.The portion cut through stone was done with drills and dynamite. The portion through mud was done with a cutter head, 31 feet in diameter.Beginning in a caisson, on the New Jersey end, the cutter head was pushed into the mud by large hydraulic jacks, 30 inches at a time. As the head went forward, mud was extruded backward into the tunnel, and later removed.After each forward push, a steel tunnel ring was built in the 30 inch space just vacated. These 31-foot diameter rings came in 14 3000-pound segments, which were lifted and placed using a large hydraulic arm. The ring segments had flanges on all the inner edges, so that when placed correctly, they could be bolted to each other (to make the finished ring) and to the immediately preceding ring (to make a 30 inch extension of the tunnel wall).When a ring (of which there are 2,370 in the tunnel) was completed, the cutter head was pushed forward another 30 inches. The ring building process was then repeated.Work progressed from both ends, but nearly the entire length of the tunnel was constructed from the New Jersey end. When the two partial tunnels met, just under the Manhattan shore of the Hudson River, the intersection was accurate within 1/4 inch.With the tunnel casing complete, all the joints in the ring were caulked, and in some places welded. Then a roadway and ceiling were constructed. The part of the tunnel under the roadway carries compressed fresh air (generated on both sides of the river), which is then fed by openings along the side of the roadway, into the tunnel.Air and vehicle exhaust escape through openings in the ceiling, and the mixture travels above the ceiling to ports on both sides of the river, where it is exhausted into the atmosphere. The entire air mass in the tunnel is exchanged every 90 seconds.The tunnel walls and ceiling were lined with ceramic tile, and the roadway finished with concrete. Approach ways and entryways, and some new roads, were built during the construction of the main part of the tunnel. The finished tunnel was opened to traffic Dec. 22, 1937.
Distance between somerville, new jersey to new york city?
Somervile, NJ is located about 40 miles west of New York City. The trip by car take about an hour each way or 90 minutes each way if you're driving during rush hour. If you're traveling on public transit, the trip take about 2 hours each way. You can take the NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line from Somerville to Newark Penn Station, where a transfer can be made to either the Northeast Corridor or North Jersey Coast Line to Penn Station New Yorker. In addition, you can take the Raritan Valley Line to Newark Penn Station, where a connection can be made to the PATH train. If you're going to the beach on the Jersey Shore, you can take the Raritan Valley Line to Newark Penn Station, where a transfer can be made to the North Jersey Coast Line. Take NJCL from Newark to any town on the line from Bays Head to Aberdeen-Matawan. I hope this information is very helpful. Good luck
Google Maps.Did a human ask this question, or did an algorithm? “Its nearest airport?”Somerville is, as the crow flies, an easy five miles or so from Boston Logan Airport. (There is, of course, a harbor in the way, which complicates things.) You can drive, or take public transportation, or hire a taxi or shuttle bus. I even know a guy that bikes to Logan.The options are more or less the same the procedure to get to any major metro airport anywhere.So, again, did a human being want an answer to this question, or was some bot posting “What are some of the best ways to get from within
Does Somerville Train Station has elevator ?
I was not aware that Somerville train station is a new innovation. I thought that it had been around for decades. With effect from 8th December 2010 it has been described as having wheelchair friendly access. This is entirely to be expected in this day and age following a major refurbishment. The renovation included the reinstatement of the existing freight elevator shafts. This work gave the station its wheelchair access rating, but I guess that the station staff will behave kindly to passengers over burdened with luggage.
I worked in the Navy yard. From Porter you can take the red line to Charles MGH and take the MGH shutle into Charlestown. That will take you about 30 min in case of normal traffic. However I would clearly take the bike. You can take a bike path most of the way and you will be faster than anybody else. Driving is highly not recommended. 1st there is no parking in Charlestown (unless you are a Professor and you have negotiated that as part of your package) since there is a waiting list for the parking garage. 2nd traffic is usually so bad that you might be faster walking.....
There are few options to consider depending on when you are travelling: #1. Bus from the Bridgewater Commons Mall takes you into PA Bus Terminal in NYC. #2. Raritan Valley train from Somerville or Bound Brook to Newark and then take the Parh train to NYC. #3. If you are just visiting NYC take drive to Park and Ride location in Secaucus, or North Bergen,park the car in the lot and take the bus to PA Bus terminal. #4 Drive to Newark, park in the lot near the train station and take a Path train to NYC. This is the fastest way to go into the city.
I need to go to JFK Airport from Somerville, New Jersey?
you want to take 287 east.... to 95 north... to 278 east and go to the goethel's bridge to get into staten island.... take 278 east all the way across staten island to the verrazano narrows bridge.... this is a toll road... it's expensive but you only pay one way... about $8 or $9... once over the verrazano, you'll be in brooklyn.... look for the belt parkway and go east.... on the belt parkway you'll pass intersections for flatbush ave, rockaway pkwy, and pennsylvania avenue... keep going past conduit ave and cross bay blvd and nassau expwy and by then you'll see signs for JFK airport.... the street signs may direct you to go on I-678 (van wyck expwy) south depending on your itinerary... PS: it is highly likely you'll run into mind-numbing traffic.... leave super early!
