In the article it says "the longest continuous underwater vehicular tunnel in the world". Is this true? There are many underwater tunnels that are longer than the 2,779 meters of the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, see the Bømlafjordtunnel for example. ZorroIII 22:53, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
I believe this is in accurate, because it only makes sense that a tunnel built with modern technology would be able to be longer (and deeper). This needs to be edited. ~~jstew 12 October 2006
No, I read that in a book of facts...its true

According to the book "The Works" by Kate Ascher, published in 2005 by Penguin Books, on page 52, "When it opened in 1950, the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel was, at 9,117 feet, the longest continuous underwater vehicular tunnel in the worldâa title it still holds." This is clearly wrong (see, e.g. the Chunnel), but may have been published in multiple sources. 2604:2000:6AA3:3D00:8828:790D:915D:9616 ( talk) 20:28, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
The article is currently without sections to it. This article would benefit greatly from being broken up into its Intro, History, Specs, and its usage in Pop Culture, and for that matter, some areas could benefit from being more detailed. For example. it does not state what the design material was among other things. If anyone's willing to organize and expand this article, it'll work wonders, but please, try to verify your material ahead of time. It lacks in sources as it is.

Hello, shouldn't the article name now be "Hugh L. Carey" tunnel? If it is officially named that than should the title be the official name? All the maps say HLC tunnel. @ Epicgenius: AmericanAir88 ( talk) 00:29, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
@ Epicgenius: I agree but in the Triborough and Queensboro bridge's inbox, the correct name is present. AmericanAir88 ( talk) 19:57, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

I'll be glad to review this one. Having never been to NYC before but being somewhat a road geek myself, this is definitely an article I find very interesting. Let me have a couple of days to fully review the article and put together some comments.

That's actually it. I did a fair bit of copyediting as well, and checked links and sources for reliability, but that's all I've got for you. I'll put us on hold for the time being. Red Phoenix talk 20:53, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
Would consider adding a section on the annual Steven Siller memorial 5k that travels through the Tunnel every year, attended by thousands. As defined by the organization, "The event symbolizes Stephen Sillerâs final footsteps from the foot of the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel (formerly known as the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel) to the Twin Towers Site, and pays homage to the 343 FDNY firefighters, 63 law enforcement officers, and thousands of civilians who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. To date, more than 500,000 people have followed in Stephenâs footsteps". [1]
The event shuts the tunnel down to vehicular traffic once a year, serves as a large fundraiser for first responder-related charities, and brings on average about 2000 West Point Cadets to run each year. One issue I see is that the Tunnel to Towers run itself does not have a Wiki, so links would be mostly external.
