The Queens Midtown Tunnel connects Midtown Manhattan at 34th to 38th Streets to the Long Island City and Queens Boulevard corridor in Queens. The NYCDOT cameras at the tunnel exit positions on 35th and 37th Streets in Manhattan give the NYC Live Command Center a real-time view of the conditions at this crossing , the second cross-river tunnel connecting Queens to Manhattan after the Queensboro Bridge.

观看实时摄像头相机位置
Queens 中城隧道 @ 35 街出口: Manhattan 出口可供来自 Queens 的车辆使用。该摄像机显示车辆从隧道中驶出并进入默里山和中城东地区的中城 Manhattan 街道网格。出口位于中城东侧,靠近第二大道,摄像机显示交通与地面街道人流融为一体。
Queens 中城隧道出口 @ 37 街: 第二个位置覆盖 37 街一侧隧道的北出口。隧道有多个出口,为中城街道网格的不同街区提供电力,该摄像机专门显示了第 37 街的流量。
2 Ave @ 36 St-中城隧道: 第二大道上的引道,显示车辆正接近 Manhattan 一侧的隧道入口,准备返回 Queens。
隧道承载什么
Queens 中城隧道服务于 Queens 和中城 Manhattan 之间的通勤走廊。当交通畅通时,从长岛市和 Queens 大道走廊进入的车辆需支付通行费并在东河下穿过,隧道通行时间约为 3 分钟。
该隧道每天运送约 40,000 辆车辆。其中很大一部分是高峰时段的通勤交通,货运和商用车辆占非高峰时段的很大一部分。
中城隧道与 Queensboro 大桥的比较
Queens 中城隧道和 Queensboro 大桥(第 59 街大桥)均将 Queens 与中城 Manhattan 连接起来,但它们服务于不同的目的和中城电网的不同部分。
The Queensboro Bridge lands at 59th Street in Manhattan, about 25 blocks north of the Midtown Tunnel exit. The bridge is toll-free (unlike the tunnel, which charges a toll). For drivers whose destinations are in the upper part of Midtown or the East Side above 50th Street, the bridge is often faster and cheaper. For drivers heading to the 30s-40s in Midtown or to the West Side of Midtown, the tunnel's exit position is more direct.
Command Center 中提供了两个交叉路口的摄像头信息,允许在选择任一选项之前对两个选项的当前状况进行比较。
墨累山 (Murray Hill) 社区环境
Queens 中城隧道出口进入中城东区的默里山 (Murray Hill) 社区,该地区以住宅建筑集中、商业和医疗用途混合而闻名。纽约大学朗格尼医学中心 (New York University Langone Medical Center) 综合体就在附近,东区 30 年代历史上曾有高密度的住宅楼,专门为年轻专业人士服务。
The camera feeds around the tunnel exit show Murray Hill's character: the tunnel vehicles joining surface street traffic from Second and Third Avenues, the pedestrian flow on the cross streets, and the commercial activity of the nearby Midtown corridors.
按一天中不同时间划分的交通模式
早高峰(入境,Queens 至 Manhattan,上午 7 点至 9:30)产生最高的入境量。隧道容量限制了吞吐量,当Manhattan侧出口由于地面拥塞而备份时,备份会延伸到隧道本身。
晚间高峰(出站,Manhattan 至 Queens,下午 4 点至 7 点)会反转方向。 Manhattan 出站交通引道(第二大道第 36 街)的摄像头显示,当司机接近收费广场时,队列正在形成。
Weekend patterns at the Midtown Tunnel are noticeably lighter than the Queensboro Bridge on weekend afternoons, because the bridge's toll-free status makes it the preferred option for non-commuters. The tunnel sees more consistent commercial and freight volume on weekends relative to its weekday ratio.
