Access to the [[Broker-Dukes Expressway]] is provided by elevating slip roads.

Using the first slip road, which extends out from the right, will allow drivers to join the [[Algonquin]] bound Broker - Dukes Expressway, whereas using the sliproad that extends out from the left after passing under the Expressway will allow drivers to join the [[Meadows Park]] bound Broker-Dukes Expressway. Using neither of these sliproads and continuing along the freeway will result in the driver joining the Airport Ring Road, which provides access to various parts of Francis International. This marks the eastern terminus of the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway.

Revision as of 12:52, 21 May 2015

The Algonquin - Dukes Expressway is a 1.1 mile freeway that connects Algonquin to Dukes in Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, with three intersections in Liberty City. It connects Algonquin Bridge with the Francis International Airport via northern Broker and southern Dukes.

Of all the Expressways in Liberty City, the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway possesses the most freeway-like features, with sophisticated exit/entrance infrastructure and isolation from road networks. It is also the only expressway with hard shoulders. Other Expressways do possess these features, but not for their full lengths.

It is most likely based on the Midtown-Queens Expressway being part of the Long Island Expressway in New York City. The fact that Algonquin Bridge carries the expressway is based on the planned-but-unbuilt Lower Manhattan Expressway.

Traffic is light throughout the Expressway.
