Construction will affect both Hudson River tunnels this coming week causing late-night gridlock in the vicinity of the Holland Tunnel.

All New Jersey-bound lanes of the helix will be closed overnight 10:30 p.m. Wednesday to 4:30 a.m. Thursday. One Manhattan-bound lane will be closed overnight 11 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday.
