The New Jersey-bound tube of the Holland Tunnel will close six nights per week starting next month, the Port Authority announced Tuesday, in order to conduct critical repairs to infrastructure damaged by Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
The closures will remain in effect through 2025.
During the repairs to the north tube, westbound traffic toward New Jersey will be suspended during six overnights until 2025 as followed:
Sunday to Thursday nights: 11 p.m. to 5:30 a.m.
Friday nights: 11:59 p.m. to 9 a.m.
Saturday nights: No scheduled closures
Motorists are advised to use the alternate routes:
North Jersey: Use the George Washington Bridge
Hudson or Essex counties: Use the Lincoln Tunnel
Staten Island or South Jersey: Use the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to the Goethals, Bayonne or Outerbridge Crossing bridges.

1) Leave the car in NJ and come into Manhattan with PATH Train
2) Would make more sense. & be more respectful, to be off on Friday night rather than Saturday nights

Huh? Respectful to whom? This is much better; the tube will be open on Motzaei Shabbos, when people are more likely to be in a rush to get wherever they’re going, especially in the summer. Let’s say you live in NJ and spent Shabbos in Brooklyn; Shabbos is out at 9:30 or whatever, you don’t make havdala until more like 10 or later, and then you want to get home. This will make it easier.
147, be more respectful of whom?
Would someone please explain to Ms. 147 that the Holland Tunnel is in the United States, not Israel.
Think 147 meant that he is fine with it being off work Saturday night and he wanted them to work Friday night and the tunnel should be off
