@geographyuncovered: The Holland Tunnel was a massive engineering gamble when it opened in 1927. Running beneath the Hudson River between New Jersey and New York, it risked trapping drivers in deadly carbon monoxide fumes. The solution? Four massive ventilation towers rising directly out of the river — fortress-like structures that push and pull enough air to completely refresh the tunnel’s atmosphere every 90 seconds. They look like strange, windowless skyscrapers in the water… but without them, the tunnel couldn’t function. Next time you pass one, you’re looking at the reason people can breathe under a river. #Geography #NYC #NJ #HollandTunnel #Tunnel
In 1978 when I first moved from Honduras to the U.S ( NJ) I was 9 yrs old the toll for the Holland Tunnel was $1.50, charged only for eastbound traffic (entering New York from New Jersey). This $1.50 rate was in effect between 1975 and 1983. The toll had increased from $1.00, which was the rate from 1970 to 1975. 2026 Rates. astbound). E-ZPass rates are $16.79 during peak hours (weekdays 6–10 a.m. & 4–8 p.m.; weekends 11 a.m.–9 p.m.) and $14.79 during off-peak hours. Bills after bills… Cost of living in Jersey is outrageous. 😔😔

So how come it’s not a circular when you enter cause when it’s circled that means it’s dug under the ground when it’s squared they drop sections off on the ground of the water
