It will always be the BBT, forget Carey and ex-mayor douchburg and his need to change the names of everything- During AM rush hour into Manhattan, right tunnel, right lane every time
The Corcoran GroupOctober 11, 2013The tunnel that seems to go on forever, which makes it torturous to be in it during rush hour traffic.

I don't like this Hugh L. Carey bullshit. It will forever be the Battery Tunnel.
Close the windows before entering! You'll thanks me later.
