Information
has glosseng: __NOTOC__ The Lower Manhattan Expressway (also known as the Canal Street Expressway or LOMEX) was a controversial plan for an expressway through lower Manhattan conceived by Robert Moses in the early 1960s. It was to be an eight-lane elevated highway, stretching from the East River to the Hudson River, connecting the Holland Tunnel on the west side to the Williamsburg and Manhattan Bridges to the east. By 1961, Moses had set in motion two immense federal initiatives, which would have leveled fourteen blocks along Broome Street in Little Italy and what is now SoHo. The highway would have required many historic structures to be condemned and destroyed, and would have displaced an estimated 1,972 families and 804 businesses.<ref name=NYT19621207/>

Para 1961, Moses había puesto en marcha dos inmensas iniciativas federales, que habrían sido niveladas a lo largo de catorce cuadras Calle Broome en SoHo.
