"Similar New York-bound traffic closures that began in April 2020 will end at 5 a.m. on Feb. 4 as the PANYNJ completes repairs and storm resiliency projects related to Sandy damage in the tunnels’ south tube."

This really isn't that big of a deal, how many ppl even know the other tube has been closed at nights for 3 years?

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.

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.
