Lincoln tunnel status: It wasn’t the Hudson River that was leaking into Lincoln Tunnel. Rather, it was anxious commuters sitting in their cars, fearing the worst.

Video posted online on Tuesday showed water flowing down a walkway onto the roadway in the tunnel connecting New Jersey and New York City.

Many people shared their concerns about being trapped in the tunnel in case it floods via Twitter.

According to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (which operates the tunnel), the main water burst in a facility room within the tunnel’s central tube. The water was pumped out after the break was repaired.

According to the Port Authority of New York, New Jersey, who manages the tunnel, water poured onto the Lincoln Tunnel walkway due to a water main break in a facility room. Normal traffic flow was resumed that evening after water was pumped out of the tunnel following the repair. The Port Authority was not available to provide further information to Newsweek before publication.

The Lincoln Tunnel leak was a frightening sight for both catastrophizers and onlookers. However, it reminded people of the incredible feat of driving through a tunnel that is 97 feet below a river. The Lincoln Tunnel construction was a difficult task that posed more danger for its builders than getting their tires soaked.

The construction of the Lincoln Tunnel began in 1934. The first of the two planned tubes was completed in 1937. In 1945 the second tunnel was opened. However, the growth in two-way traffic (21 million cars per year by 1955) led to the construction of a third tunnel. A June 1956 Schenectady Gazette article celebrated the completion and noted the cost to lives.
