===New York=== {{main|Interstate 78 in New York}} {{see also|Holland Tunnel}} [[File:Holland tunnel.jpg|thumb|I-78 leaving [[Jersey City, New Jersey|Jersey City]] and entering the [[Holland Tunnel]] to [[SoHo, Manhattan|SoHo]] and [[New York City]]]] I-78's length in [[New York (state)|New York]] is {{convert|0.5|mi|km}}βhalf of the Holland Tunnel and the egress-only [[roundabout]] immediately beyond the end of the tunnel. The route was planned to run east and north through New York City to end at [[Interstate 95|I-95]] in [[the Bronx]], but sections of the planned route, including the [[Lower Manhattan Expressway]], were canceled. In New York City, I-78 continues through the egress-only roundabout known as the Saint John's Rotary. The five separate exits from the Rotary are assigned numbers, exits 1 to 5, in counterclockwise order. Exit 5, the last eastbound exit, leads onto [[Canal Street (Manhattan)|Canal Street]]. Under original plans, I-78 was to cross [[Manhattan]] as the Lower Manhattan Expressway onto the [[Williamsburg Bridge]] and then beyond [[Interstate 278|I-278]] on [[Bushwick Expressway]] through [[Brooklyn]] into [[Queens]] near the [[John F. Kennedy International Airport]]. A section of I-78 at the airport was built as the [[Nassau Expressway]], later [[Interstate 878|I-878]] and now [[New York State Route 878]] (NY 878), though most of the westbound side was never built. Under the plans, east of the airport, I-78 would have turned north on the [[Clearview Expressway]], built north of Hillside Avenue in Queens and now [[Interstate 295 (New York)|I-295]], run across the [[Throgs Neck Bridge]], and forked into two spurs, ending at I-95 via the [[Throgs Neck Expressway]], which is now [[Interstate 695 (New York)|I-695]] and the [[Bruckner Interchange]] via the [[Cross Bronx Expressway]], which is now part of I-295.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.dot.state.ny.us/tech_serv/high/tvwebpag.html |title=NYSDOT - Traffic Count Information |access-date=December 27, 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060428101322/http://www.dot.state.ny.us/tech_serv/high/tvwebpag.html |archive-date=April 28, 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
