Who has info on the Pulaski Bridge on-ramp stub that seems to have been intended to lead to the Long Island Expressway?

I hate the small "dept of transportation" logos on every sign, especially the big green highway ones. They look better without them. On the old button copy ones, there were small reference numbers that also were annoying. NY was the only state I recall seeing these.

Historic Aerials tells us that it has been there unchanged since the current bridge was built in the 1950s, at which time the Queens Midtown Tunnel and the highway leading to it already existed.

Beyond that, I know nothing and can only speculate.

But it is a logical assumption that the intended destination was the eastbound LIE. Consider that this movement would have been relatively simply with the old bridge one block to the west (make a right on Borden, make the next left onto the highway) but is convoluted with the current bridge sans that ramp (make a left, a right, and then three more lefts).
