  • Interstate 78 (I-78) is an east–west Interstate Highway stretching from Union Township, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, in the west to the Holland Tunnel and New York City in the east. In Pennsylvania, I-78 runs for about 78 miles (126 km) from the western terminus at I-81 in Union Township east to the New Jersey state line near Easton in Northampton County. Much of I-78 west of Allentown predates the Interstate Highway System as a freeway upgrade of U.S. Route 22 (US 22), which runs concurrently with I-78 between Bethel Township and Upper Macungie Township. The Interstate, originally planned as Interstate 80N (I-80N), was supposed to continue its concurrency with US 22 to the New Jersey state line but was realigned to the south due to local opposition. Two auxiliary routes, Interstate 178 (I-178) and I-378, were also planned as spurs into Allentown and Bethlehem respectively, but I-178 was never built and I-378 became Pennsylvania Route 378 (PA 378) since it no longer connected to I-78. Improvement of the highway in Berks County is currently underway. (en)
  • L'Interstate 78 (I-78) fait partie du réseau routier inter-États qui s'étend de Union Township, dans le comté de Lebanon, en Pennsylvanie, à la ville de New York. Dans l'État américain de New York, la I-78 s'étend sur 1,45 km. La totalité de la I-78 est constituée par le Holland Tunnel, qui passe sous l'Hudson depuis le New Jersey et se termine à un rond-point de sortie dans le Lower Manhattan. Le tunnel et ses approches sont entretenus par l'Autorité portuaire de New York et du New Jersey. La I-78 devait emprunter un itinéraire plus long lorsque le système interétatique de la ville de New York a été proposé à la fin des années 1950. L'itinéraire proposé pour la I-78 était de se diriger vers l'est via le Williamsburg Bridge jusqu'à l'aéroport international John F. Kennedy, puis vers le nord via le Throgs Neck Bridge jusqu'à la I-95 dans le Bronx. Une section non construite de la I-78, la Lower Manhattan Expressway, aurait relié le Holland Tunnel aux ponts de Williamsburg et de Manhattan. Une autre section non construite, les (en) et Bushwick Expressways, se serait étendue vers le sud-est à travers Brooklyn, se connectant à ce qui est maintenant la (en) (New York State Route 878 ou NY 878). Un troisième tronçon aurait relié la Nassau Expressway, à l'extrémité sud du Queens près de l'aéroport JFK, à l'extrémité sud de l'actuelle (en), dans le centre du Queens. En raison de l'opposition des communautés situées le long des voies rapides, ces sections de la I-78 n'ont jamais été construites. (fr)
