Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel reopens to cars
At 4 p.m. Tuesday, the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, also known as the Gov. Hugh L. Carey tunnel, reopened for cars traveling in peak directions during rush hours.
The eastern tube, which usually carries Manhattan-bound traffic at all times, will be open for Manhattan-bound cars and buses from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., and for Brooklyn-bound cars and buses from 3 to 7 p.m.
The expanded travel option will be available in one lane of the eastern tube, while the other lane will remain dedicated for express buses.
