Page "Staten Island Greenbelt" Paragraph 18

In spite of brewing opposition, road work began in 1965 on what became known as “ section 1 ”.

When the work was halted by the city, excavations were used to construct what is now known as " Moses Mountain ," a rise adjacent to the Manor Road-Rockland Avenue interchange.

Other remnants of construction can be seen from the Staten Island Expressway between the Clove Road and Bradley Avenue exits, which are referred to as the abandoned bridges.

They are a little west of the Petrides School Complex.

This abandoned interchange is currently being removed as part of a 140 million dollar overhaul of the Expressway.
