Reply to comment by micmaher99 in NJ and NY commuters: Get ready for 2-year nightmare at Holland Tunnel by deva473

How many NJ residents are trying to go to NY at that time vs how many are trying to come back ( from nightlife or events at this thime)? That's the real issue. Now you gotta go from midtown to almost the Bronx or Brooklyn to get out...kinda ridiculous.

Use the Lincoln tunnel? Take public transit? It's annoying, but how else are they going to fix the tunnel?

You'd think that PANYNJ would add extra PATH service during the overnight hours during the Holland Tunnel construction project, but they're not, sadly.

Agreed. That would make sense.

So you can see the PA's problem with that solution.

New tunnels for passenger vehicles are going to cost $10+ billion and take at least a decade to build. That's not a solution.

The way they tax us for infrastructure, homes, land etc...they can afford it.
