		The 9,117-foot-long tunnel, which remains today the longest continuous underwater vehicular tunnel in the world, was a success from the very beginning, carrying approximately 41,000 vehicles per day during its first full year of operation in 1951.
		The Battery Parking Garage, as shown in the background, was constructed by Robert Moses in conjunction with the tunnel.
