    Before clicking, I thought this would be about the Cross Bronx Expressway.

      Did that every year visiting family all through the 70s and early 80s from age 5 through 15. Left an indelible mark.

      Why is the Cross Bronx Expressway scary? I read the Wikipedia page and understood how it tore through the neighborhoods and caused many social ills, but I didn’t understand why the road is scary. I have driven on this road once or twice, but I couldn’t recall anything remarkable from that drive.
