HUNTS POINT, The Bronx (PIX11) \u2013 Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson is joining residents on Tuesday to send a message to Gov. Kathy Hochul \u2013 don\u2019t expand the Cross Bronx Expressway<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Bronx River Alliance told PIX11 News that a $900 million New York State Department of Transportation proposal to rehab the roadway<\/a> would increase traffic nearby. The group is calling for the state to team with the city\u2019s Blue Highways effort, a long-term plan to reactivate the waterfront as a major artery to transport goods.<\/p>\n

Work to outfit Hunts Point with a new marine freight site has already begun. New York City officials estimated that once finished, the new hub will keep roughly 1,000 trucks off South Bronx streets.<\/p>\n

Blue Highways could also create more than 100,000 jobs over the next decade, supporters argued.<\/p>\n
