	Queens-Midtown Tunnel (I-495)
		To the east, the Queens toll plaza is located in Long Island City at the western terminus of the Long Island Expressway, the original section of which opened as a one-mile-long elevated "Midtown Highway." The expressway extends the line of the tunnel east into Queens.
