// Strategic Significance
The Holland Tunnel connecting Jersey City New Jersey to lower Manhattan is the primary vehicular link for lower Manhattan and the financial district. The tunnel runs beneath the Hudson River at the level of lower Manhattan near Wall Street and the financial district. A successful attack on the Holland Tunnel would cut off the primary vehicle access to the financial district. Hurricane Sandy 2012 flooded the Holland Tunnel requiring weeks of recovery operations. The proximity to the financial district makes the Holland Tunnel one of the most strategically significant terrorism targets in the New York metro area.
