Points of Interest

The following places of interest can be visited via the Broker-Dukes Expressway



Section 2

The Broker-Dukes Expressway is a highway that runs mostly along the eastern edge of the easternmost island of Liberty City, and divides broker, and Dukes apart from eachother. The Highway runs through areas like Hove Beach, Firefly Projects, Beechwood City, Francis International Airport and Meadows Park. What a player may not know is that the map of Liberty City is very misleading as to the course of the Broker-Dukes Expressway. It appears that in Firefly Projects, Crockett Avenue passes the ending of the highway which the Broker Bridge leads into, and becomes the Broker-Dukes Expressway from there. But in reality the expressway begins in Algonquin actually when the Broker Bridge begins in Chinatown. The Highway passes through southern districts in Broker like Hove Beach and Firefly Projects and then indirectly runs into the next part of the highway where the road runs on the eastern coast of East Island with traffic-light intersection. After it passes Beechwood City it becomes a freeway again, and remains that way until it ends at the end of Meadows Park, Steinway, and East Island City.

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.

1. Hove Beach/Outlook Park

This full set of exit and entrances intersect Oneida Avenue in Hove Beach. Where going north (right from Southbound exit, left from Northbound) takes you to Perestroika Cabaret Club, Outlook Park, and to Rotterdam Hill, and Downtown Broker. 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. When you reach the beginning of Crockett Avenue finally, it leads you through Firefly Projects already. Immediately when you get to Crockett Avenue, there will be a toll booth looking gate on your right, which going through (not a real toll, no fare required) will take you into Beachgate.

3. Hickcock Street Intersection

As the freeway is now temporarily a boulevard with stoplights and intersections, the first our of five is to Hickcock street, where you can only travel west (right from Southbound, left from Northbound). It will take you through southern South Slopes to Montauk Avenue and Outlook Park.

4. Sundance Street Intersection

The next light after Hickcock Street is Sundance Street, where only allowing to travel west takes you through northern South Slopes to Montauk Avenue and Outlook Park.

5. Tutelo Avenue Intersection

The next light after Sundance Street is Tutelo Avenue, where the road curves to make you have to travel northward on Tutelo. Tutelo Avenue is on the eastern edge of Beechwood City.

6. Carson Street Intersection

The next light after Tutelo Avenue is Carson Street, which you can only travel west. Carson Street can be easier identified when you come across a Burger Shot at the Intersection. Carson Street runs parallel with the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway, and can lead you to central Schottler, including the medical center.

7. Saratoga Avenue Intersection

The last light is the Saratoga Avenue Intersection, allowing you only to travel North, Saratoga leads you to exits and entrances to the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway, and beyond leading you Willis.

8. FIA- Francis International Airport

As the expressway begins to become a highway form once more, the next exit takes you to the airport loop which encompasses the FIA parking lot. From the Oval you have access to the terminal, parking lot, LTA station, Willis, a police department, an entrance back to the BDE (Broker Dukes Expressway) North, as well as entrance to the ADE (Algonquin-Dukes Expressway) West, which also leads to BDE South.

9. ADE- Algonquin Dukes Expressway

Only directly accessible from southbound BDE, northbound travelers would either need to use the Saratoga Avenue Intersection to get to the Algonquin Dukes Expressway, or have to go 3/4 of the way around the airport loop to the entrance onto the ADE. From the ADE a direct exit to the BDE South is provided, to get to the BDE north either around the Airport Loop, or using the Saratoga Avenue exit to the Saratoga Avenue Intersection.

10. Meadows Park

The last exit before the road ends is an exit to Meadows Park accessible from both ways, and with entrances to both ways. The exit forms Cleves Avenue which runs through a small portion of Meadows Park before running through Willis.

11. Dukes Boulevard

Not long after the Meadows Park Exit an intersection occurs with Hewes Street, which afterward the Expressway becomes Dukes Boulevard. Continuing on the Dukes Boulevard will take you through East Island City, Cerveza Heights, and then to Downtown Broker. If you make a left on Hewes Street you go into Meadows Park, and eventually reach Patrick McReary's house. If you make a right you go through northern Steinway where you intersect the Dukes Bay Bridge (toll road).
