has gloss | eng: The Park Avenue Tunnel passes under Park Avenue in the New York City borough of Manhattan, USA, leading up towards Grand Central Terminal. It once carried the New York and Harlem Railroad and later that company's streetcar line and was called the Murray Hill Tunnel. Due to the construction of Grand Central Terminal and the removal of tracks, the north end has been reconstructed for a steeper approach. It is now under the care of the New York City Department of Transportation, and carries one lane of northbound car traffic from East 33rd Street to East 40th Street. From 40th Street north, traffic can follow the Park Avenue Viaduct. Prior to August 3, 2008, the tunnel carried two-way traffic, but was reconfigured to increase pedestrian safety. |

Ooit liep er de New York en Harlem Railroad doorheen en later de tram van hetzelfde bedrijf; tegenwoordig lopen er twee rijbanen doorheen.
