The Holland Tunnel was closed on October 29, 2012, as Hurricane Sandy approached. The tunnel, like many other New York City tunnels, was flooded by the high storm surge. It remained closed for several days, opening for buses only on November 2 and to all traffic on November 7. In February 2018, the PANYNJ approved a $364 million project to repair flood damage from the hurricane. The agency closed the Holland Tunnel's eastbound tube during late nights, except on Saturday nights, beginning in April 2020. Though the work was initially supposed to be completed in early 2022, the work was delayed by nearly a year. The PANYNJ then announced that the westbound tube would be closed during late nights, except on Saturdays, between February 2023 and late 2025.
