摘要

Never underestimate the value of a good fender in New York City. Driving in New York City isn't as simple as it once was. Getting from point A to point B can involve many construction detours in between. Nowhere can reconstruction cause more delays than on Manhattan's Franklin Delano Roosevelt East River Drive—known locally as "the FDR." Constructed by the Works Projects Administration as part of the New Deal strategy to provide work for the unemployed, the FDR was built during World War II when steel was in short supply and automobile traffic was not. The FDR serves as a major artery connecting Manhattan to the Bronx and Queens through the Tribor-ough Bridge in the north and to Brooklyn through the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel in the south. The FDR also provides access to several important points along Manhattan's East Side, including all of lower Manhattan, the United Nations, the midtown business district, the Upper East Side and the Queensborough Bridge. Hugging the East River, the FDR is now used by more than 150,000 vehicles every day. Like many other aging roadways, the FDR has another important characteristic: It's crumbling.
