The Highway runs through areas in Algonquin, Broker and Dukes, including [[Chinatown, Algonquin|Chinatown]], [[Hove Beach]], [[Firefly Projects]], [[Beechwood City]], [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]] and [[Meadows Park]]. It is based off of the real life [[wp:Brooklyn-Queens Expressway|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]. It is also considered the unofficial boarder between Broker and Dukes. |
