 tunnel, invisible, do not draw title

The Hugh L. Carey Tunnel (affectionately known as the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel) is a toll road in New York City which crosses under the East River at its mouth and connects the Boroughs of Brooklyn and Manhattan, nearly passing under, but providing no access to Governors Island. It consists of twin tubes, carrying an aggregate of four traffic lanes, and at 9,117 feet (2,779 meters) is the longest underwater vehicular tunnel in North America and the longest continuous underwater vehicular tunnel in the world. It was opened to traffic in 1950. It currently carries the unsigned Interstate 478, and formerly carried New York State Route 27A.
The tunnel was completely flooded on October 29, 2012, from severe storm surge produced by Hurricane Sandy.
