NEW YORK - No, that wasn’t the Hudson River leaking into the Lincoln Tunnel as anxious commuters sat in their cars fearing the worst.
Video taken Tuesday by a motorist showed water flowing along a walkway and onto the roadway in the tunnel that connects Manhattan and Weehawken.
“Well, that’s concerning,” said Anthony Consiglio in the video.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the tunnel, said that a water main ruptured in a facility room in the tunnel’s center tube. After crews repaired the break, they pumped out the water.
