The Holland Tunnel is about to get a lot more congested and that'll mean traffic backups for at least the next five years. The Port Authority warns of a water main repair project that will keep the tunnel’s Hudson Street approach in Manhattan closed for five years.
Yes, five years. So all you crazy kids coming off of the Turnpike extension and or route 139 heading for the Holland Tunnel are going to have to be patient. We figure while you're being patient you can wonder about Governor Christie's plan to kill the new commuter tunnel so he can pretend he cares about saving money (1 whole billion dollars which the USA blows in Iraq roughly every day) all while turning New Jersey into nothing more than a bigger parking lot for NYC.
From the NY side of the tunnel the Jersey Journal tells us:
The tunnel’s Varick, Broom and Canal street entrances will remain open, and northbound motorists on West Street will be allowed to turn right onto Canal to access the tunnel.
Sit tight and turn up the radio kids, it's gonna be a long slog...
