The Atlantic City–Brigantine Connector is a connector freeway in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It is a 2.37-mile (3.81 km) extension of the Atlantic City Expressway, connecting it to Route 87 and Brigantine via the Marina district of Atlantic City. Its tunnel underneath the Westside neighborhood gives it its local nickname. It is a state highway owned and operated by the South Jersey Transportation Authority. Proposals for a similar road date to 1964; planning began in 1995 after businessman Steve Wynn proposed a new casino in the Marina district. It was supported by New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman and Atlantic City Mayor Jim Whelan, but opposed by residents whose homes would be destroyed, and competing casino owner Donald Trump, who filed lawsuits. Its construction took almost three years and it opened in July 2001 at a total cost of $330 million. Since its opening, the connector has served up to 25,000 vehicles daily, and brought business to the casinos in tthe Marina district.(Full article...)
