Holland Tunnel

The Holland Tunnel is a vehicular tunnel that connects New York City to New Jersey beneath the Hudson River. Opened in 1927, it allows cars and trucks to travel between the two states efficiently, easing road congestion and promoting regional mobility. The tunnel is approximately 1.6 miles long and features advanced ventilation systems to ensure fresh air inside. It was among the first underwater tunnels designed for automotive traffic, symbolizing significant engineering achievement and improving cross-state transportation.
