Lincoln Tunnel

The Lincoln Tunnel is a major roadway tunnel beneath the Hudson River, connecting Manhattan, New York City, to West New York, New Jersey. It facilitates the movement of thousands of vehicles daily, easing congestion between the two states. Built in the 1930s and expanded over time, the tunnel features multiple tubes that allow cars and trucks to pass through underground, protected from weather and traffic lights on the surface. It plays a vital role in regional transportation, supporting commuters and commerce, and is operated and maintained by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
