Verrazano Bridge marathon! HELP!?

It starts at 8 am, not sure what time it ends. I've been looking that up, since I live in Staten Island and need to pick up someone in Brooklyn today.

The Verrazano is large. From the get right of entry to ramp off the Belt limited-access highway in Brooklyn to the toll cubicles in Staten Island is two.2 miles. Which took me 35 minutes to stress final evening. like all bridges equipped below the in no thank you to be sufficiently cursed Robert Moses, you could no longer walk for the time of it--there is not any pedestrian or bicycle lane, and it became into equipped and not utilising a subway slung below, regardless of concepts whilst it became into designed. it is so enormous that the bases of the towers retaining it up are approximately 5 inches closer at the same time than are the tops of the towers, because of the curvature of the Earth. that's 40 two years because of the fact the bridge opened to site visitors, and the fee of shape has been paid off many time over, so the tolls, which initially have been 50 cents each and each way are actually a trifling 9 money for the around holiday, reported to be the main costly elementary bridge everywhere.
