Multiple agencies are working to resume regular service as quickly as possible. In the meantime, our partners at MTA will be opening the northbound tunnel to two-way traffic. As we work to restore regular service, commuters should expect heavy traffic delays and disruptions.

*** Traffic Update *** One of the Queens Midtown Tunnel tubes has been reopened for both E/B and W/B traffic. Expect heavy delays in the area.

Update: Two-way traffic has commenced in the North Tube of the Queens-Midtown Tunnel. The South Tube remains closed. Use alternate routes, such as subways, and expect residual delays. mta.info Multilingual & ASL Link: on.nyc.gov/2gnTjHH.
