In this podcast episode, we delve into the history of New York City's first river tunnel and why it's falling apart. The Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel was constructed in the 1940s and was a major engineering feat, allowing cars to travel beneath the East River between Brooklyn and Manhattan. However, decades of neglect and damage from Superstorm Sandy have left the tunnel in a precarious state. We explore the challenges of maintaining such a critical piece of infrastructure and what the future holds for this iconic tunnel.
