The Broker-Dukes Expressway is a major road running from Broker to Dukes. It is a highway that runs mostly along the eastern edge of the easternmost island of Liberty City, and links broker, and Dukes from each other. The Highway runs through areas in Broker and Dukes, including Hove Beach, Firefly Projects, Beechwood City, Francis International Airport and Meadows Park. It is based off of the real life Brooklyn-Queens Expressway in New York City. The Broker-Dukes Expressway is one of the longest continuous roads in Broker and Dukes, and is central to two of Brucie's Races.
Exits and Entrances
No Exits or Entrances are numbered in the game, so they will be listed in order from where it begins after the Broker Bridge, to where it ends at the intersection of Dukes Boulevard and [[Hewes Street].
1. Oneida Avenue Overpass
Immediately after leaving the Broker Bridge from Algonquin is the Oneida Avenue Overpass. Leaving the freeway will take you to Hove Beach or Downtown Broker. Driving straight will bring you to the large intersection in Firefly Projects, where the freeway structure runs between.
2. Large Intersection to Crockett Avenue and Shinnecock Avenue in Firefly Projects
This large intersection brings you to / from Hove Beach and Beachgate in the borough of Broker. From the Broker Bridge side, the left lane brings you to Hove Beach and Beachgate while the right to South Slopes and Shottler. If you drive from the north, you may continue the expressway by keeping the right lane while entering Hove Beach using the left lanes.
3. Hickcock Street, Sundance Street, Tutelo Avenue and [[Carson Street] intersections
You may use these intersections to access South Slopes, Shottler and Beechwood City conveniently from the expressway. They are guided by traffic lights. This part of the Broker-Dukes Expressway probably was a part of Mohegan Avenue, which is currently divided into two parts - near the Burger Shot in Beechwood City and Firefly Projects. There are some old avenue leftovers underneath the expressway between Carson Street and Tutelo Avenue. Being upgraded to an expressway, it explains why there are many intersections in this part of the expressway.
4. Saratoga Avenue Intersection
It is the most convenient entrance / exit to Willis and Cerveza Heights to / from the Broker-Dukes Expressway. Moreover, you may access Algonquin-Dukes Expressway in Saratoga Avenue, or you have to make a loop in Francis International Airport to access. The Saratoga Avenue intersection is the only way for the traffic from the Airport to enter the expressway southbound.
5. Entrance of Francis International Airport
You may drive to the Francis International Airport using the connect road built to the Broker-Dukes Expressway. It is the easiest way to access the Airport from southeastern Broker. You can only make an exit to the airport here, but not an entrance to the expressway.
6. Exit of Francis International Airport
Vehicles from Francis International may enter the expressway northbound in the northwestern part of the Airport area. Being one of the major exit of the Airport, the traffic is very high and traffic jam seems to be happening very often.
7. Cleves Avenue Intersection in Meadows Park
You may drive to the Meadows Park (near Pavilion Tower) and Willis area through this intersection. There is a gas station for the cars to replenish gasoline.
8. Dukes Boulevard and Hewes Street Intersection
This is the end of the northern side of the Broker-Dukes Expressway. Its continuation is the Dukes Boulevard, which is a major road in Dukes. You may go to Steinway and Bohan if you turn right, East Island City if you go straight forward, and Meadows Park if you turn left. Not far from the intersection is Sing Sing Avenue of Dukes Bay Bridge. As the intersection is a transport hub of northern Dukes, the traffic is quite high here.

EXITS AND INTERSECTIONS
No exits or entrances were numbered in the game, so they will be numbered in order here.
Albany Avenue Intersection
This is when Diamond Street in Chinatown intersects with Albany Avenue, immediately following the green traffic light and continuing straight Diamond Street turns into the Broker Bridge, and Broker-Dukes Expressway. If you are coming the opposite way and finishing the Expressway and the bridge, going straight on Diamond Street will take you through Chinatown, where the road is stopped by a ramp (use at your own will, will take you into City Hall) in the arch of Civic Citadel. Making a right takes you north, into Lower Easton and northern districts. Turning left takes you south to The Exchange untill Albany Avenue ends when it intersects with South Parkway.

Going south will take you to Firefly Island and Crockett Avenue.
2. Crockett Avenue/Firefly Projects/Beachgate
This exit is different from a normal exit, in which case the elevated highway ends, and only by taking the exit on the right-side will have you continue on the Broker-Dukes Expressway, and going the other way, the exit that appears actually continues the highway, and going straight is actually the exit to Crockett Avenue and Firefly Projects.
