Prior to the study conducted by the USCG and the NYSDOT, options to ameliorate the issue included a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River, the rehabilitation of the Poughkeepsie Bridge, the use of the North River Tunnels, a cross-harbor rail ferry, the use of low-profile piggyback equipment and the use of the Harlem, New Haven, and Hudson Divisions through the removal of clearance restrictions.

To accommodate the new six-lane span, Nassau County and New York City spent $2.5 million for approach road rights-of-way. The new Atlantic Beach Bridge, designed by Hardesty & Hanover, opened to traffic on May 10, 1952, at a cost of $9.5 million. The new span is 1,173 feet (358 m) long with a 33-foot (10 m) vertical clearance. [2] [7] [8]
Other overpasses were left to be reconstructed to the new minimum vertical clearance at later times. [2] Australia defines minimum vertical clearance based on types of roads. The minimum vertical clearance is 5.4 metres (17 ft 9 in) for main roads and highways, and 4.6 metres (15 ft 1 in) for other local roads with road authority approval.
The bridge provided 35 ft (11 m) of vertical clearance, a channel width of 131 ft (40 m), and carried two 34-foot (10 m) three-lane roadways in either direction between 6-foot (1.8 m) pedestrian sidewalks. [11] After the bridge's first full year of operation, it had recorded at least 3,100 openings (roughly 8–9 times per day).
The tunnel is under the jurisdiction of the New York City Department of Transportation. It is designed to carry one lane of northbound car traffic from East 33rd Street to East 40th Street. From 40th Street north, traffic must follow the Park Avenue Viaduct around Grand Central Terminal to 46th Street. The vertical clearance is 8 ft 11 in (2.72 m).
I-687 and the proposed northward extension of the Crosstown Arterial were both canceled by the state of New York in late September 1973, at which time the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) requested that I-687 be removed from the Interstate Highway System. [3] The request was granted in 1977. [2]
