No it's not closed. If you are heading South you are ok. NB is really heavy because they are diverting Battery Tunnel traffic north on the drive.

That's sweet JusBlaze!

Hey Stababe, so Manhattan itself will be fine. Especially around the Time Square area. Well by fine I meant expect normal stuff. If your going to rte 3 via Lincoln, give yourself some time. You would know how giants stadium traffic gets. Anywhere else you'll be fine. Enjoy the show!
