On this day in 1937, the Lincoln Tunnel opened! 🚗🗽 Spanning 1.5 miles under the Hudson, it connects NJ & Manhattan. This New Deal marvel cost $85M and originally charged just 50¢. Still a vital link today! 🌉✨

For Friday’s theme Scape, a colour photograph taken while riding a bus through the Holland Tunnel on the way to Manhattan. The view is from from behind the driver looking out through a rainy windshield, the brake lights of cars in front follow double white lines through the long, well tunnel.
Heading to Manhattan through the Lincoln Tunnel.

dear #waze why can't you keep up with regular closings of #LincolnTunnel center tube closures? instructing moving to left by inbound traffic is going to cause accidents if it hasnt happened already
When traversing the #LincolnTunnel in #NYC a few years ago, the cell service was amazing. Now, with more commuters and sardine-ish standing room only busses, my phone apps merely cache the data before we go underground. I want to #DoomScroll on realtime on the way to the office.
All my NY and Jersey peeps ok?! #LincolnTunnel
Tonight, protests over the #FergusonDecision in #NYC shut down the #LincolnTunnel; traffic has now been restored... #Ferguson #MichaelBrown
Stuck in the #LincolnTunnel :( ugh.
