The Lincoln Tunnel without a line of cars is a WILD sight...can't be real EDIT: Just looked at the date of March 2020 and it really shows just how massive of an impact COVID had on traffic (the lack there-of)
My first time into NYC I caught the Greyhound out of PA. As we entered the busdriver said "Alright ladies and gentlemen, I got good news and bad news for ya. Good news is weve just entered the Lincoln tunnel and will be arriving at Port Authority New York City soon. The bad news is....weve just entered the Lincoln Tunnel and will be arriving and Port Authority New York City soon."
I remember that horrible accident back in 96 when a stolen car crashed into a truck full of hazardous waist. Big explosion people died, a few of them trapped in the tunnel.
I've lived in New York my whole life and have never been through the Lincoln Tunnel. Or the Queens Midtown Tunnel. Battery Tunnel, yes,. Thousands of times. The Holland Tunnel, ye. A lot. But Lincoln, and Midtown Tunnels,not yet.
I feel like that’s common place anytime you live somewhere, especially with landmarks and destinations. You are more focused on your day to day life so going out of your way for things would be less than ideal
Well, that was certainly exciting. Especially the part where you slow down the video, I was on the edge of my seat, I thought maybe a deer was going to cross the road.
@@reneekane9912 this is some kind of joke, right? I stared at the damn wall, I stared at the damn tunnel, I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to be seeing
According to the info listed in this video, 112,995 vehicles go through in one day and at a toll of $16.00. That amounts to $1,807,920.00 a day. In one year that amounts to $659,890,800.00. Where does all that money go? And that's a low ball figure because trucks and buses pay even more than $16.00 to go through. Now that they're eliminating the toll booths and don't have to pay toll collectors anymore, what happen to all of that money. For that amount of money the states of N.Y. and N.J. could afford to build more tunnels and bridges. This would relieve a lot of daily traffic congestion.
Yes they go leak and of course preventive maintenance is a key but it’s a regenerating revenue daily and annual revenue exponentially! and leaks can be fixed at exorbitant costs but it’s not like it’s a leak per day if you catch my drift etc… they need to innovate and also expand infrastructure and definitely rehabilitate existing ones… NYC roads are in dyer need of repair…Clearly the population density outweighs the 1950s infrastructure in 2022… I’m also wondering as well Dale….
The Toll is only paid going from NJ into NY. Your Traffic Numbers are BOTH Ways, so your Math isn't valid The Tunnels and the GW Bridge are Expensive to Operate and Maintain. And E-Z Pass Toll is cheaper and also uses a lot of the revenue.
I remember going from Wyckoff to 42nd St..... back in the day, from the NJ side, one could see (on a sunny morning, a gray haze over NYC. By the time you got out of the tunnels, you's enter into down town NY city and the sky would seem to be over cast..... it was pollution.
That video of it leaking wasn't water from the Hudson. The tunnel has pipes of water going through the sides for the sprinkler system that cleans the tunnel when it's closed. One of those cleaning pipes burst and caused leaking.
