Cell Phone Service Restored At Two Of Four Area Tunnels

Cell phone service, the only lifeline for drivers under the Hudson and East rivers, was restored Monday afternoon at two of the city’s four tunnels after being cut over the weekend as a terror precaution, but the other two tunnels will be without service for the foreseeable future.

Late Monday afternoon, the two tunnels controlled by the MTA, the Midtown and Battery tunnels, restored cell phone service. However, the PA says cell phone service at the two tunnels it controls, the Holland and Lincoln tunnels, will be out until further notice.
