About Built in the early 1970s .... ....
The then new Little Falls cloverleaf was designed to connect to downtown via a new arterial highway that originally threatened Moss Island but was later moved slightly farther to the south after community protests, protecting this historic and unique island. Notice the deep cuts into the Marcellus shale, with it's deep black residues that once contained petroleum millions of years ago.
