New York City's Holland Tunnel Closing to Commercial Traffic

New York City is convinced the terror alert threat is real. It is closing the Holland Tunnel tomorrow to commercial traffic:

The Holland Tunnel is expected to close to commercial traffic heading to New York at 12:01 a.m. Monday, officials said Sunday evening. The ban was "correlated to the warning about the downtown financial districts," said Tony Ciavolella, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. He said commercial vehicles should use the Lincoln Tunnel and George Washington Bridge as alternative routes.

Update: To make it clear, as a reader has pointed out, passenger vehicles are not affected. I've changed the headline to this post accordingly.]
