(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); History The Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, officially known as the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel, is a tunnel that connects Brooklyn and Manhattan in New York City. It is named after Hugh L. Carey, a former governor of New York. The idea for a tunnel connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan dates back to the early 20th century, but it wasn't until the 1930s that serious planning began. Construction on the tunnel began in 1940, and it was completed in 1950. The Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel was originally designed as a two-tube tunnel, with one tube carrying traffic in each direction. However, after the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001, the tunnel was temporarily closed due to damage caused by flooding from the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings. As part of the rebuilding effort, the tunnel was renovated and a third tube was added to provide extra capacity and redundancy.
