On today’s episode, we are going to take a closer look at Route 287, a well travelled roadway that extends from New Jersey to New York. This highway opened in 1960 but was only completed in 1994. The road to complete this highway, which is now a massively popular artery, had many bumps along the way. So sit back, relax, up your headphones on and check out the story of I-287, as only Skylands can tell it! Enjoy. “Hey Everyone, Its Bart, on location at Grace Lord Park in boonton, checking out an old Train Roundtable. We are currently around where I-287 ended way back in the 70’s. “ bart live The day is April 26, 1956, Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis Presley was the number one track and the Governors of both New York and New Jersey sat down with Robert Moses at Bear Mountain State Park to finalize plans for what will eventually be I-287. Once completed Interstate 287 formed a beltway around the metropolitan region, like half a giant circle with New York City at its center. However the last segment, a 20-mile stretch through Morris, Passaic and Bergen counties, almost never happen, as it was fought by locals, environmental groups and some elected officials for almost 20 years. “Did you know that the original name for the 287 as envisioned by New Jersey Governor Meyner, New York Governor Harriman, and Robert Moses named above was the Middlesex Freeway” By 1965, communities throughout north jersey and new york, including Morris, Passaic and Bergen counties in New Jersey, and Rockland County in New York, began their fight against the remaining 20 miles of I-287. Some were very concerned about a major highway so close to the reservoirs, others didn’t want Ramapo Reservation disturbed, the list of complaints also included pollution, noise, congestion, severe flooding, well contamination and people were scared their little towns would forever change. Did you know: You know that wall you often see on the side of highways like this? Well turns out that wall is built as a sound dampener against the noise from traffic. “Right now I am where the 287 passes close to the wanaque reservoir, one of the many points of concern for environmentalists and residents then and now” The section between US 202 in Montville and the New York State Thruway (I-87) in Suffern changed tracks three times, each time to further disagreement from residents or officials. By the 1980’s the fight to prevent the highway was lost and construction began. Caving through the mountains, just missing campgaw and ramapo reservation, following an underground pipeline, the remainder of the 287 was completed in 1993. This was followed by an interchange in Suffern NY linking I-287 to the New York Thruway in 1994. Considered to be an auxiliary highway, I-287 is a shorter highway that connects to a major highway I-87 or the NY Thruway. It’s known as a partial beltway due to its horseshoe shape built around the metropolitan region. It starts off in Edison NJ and travels through northern NJ into Rockland and Westchester counties in NY. In NJ, I-287 goes in a north-south direction and in NY it goes in an east-west direction and it runs for 98.72 miles. This highway crosses the Hudson river at one of its widest points at the Tappan-Zee bridge and the Raritan river at Bridgewater. Did you know that there are plans to connect the eastern end of 287 with long island, using what would be the worlds longest underwater tunnel?
