You mean Queens-Midtown Tunnel. The Holland Tunnel goes to New Jersey.

 

Some express buses used Lincoln Tunnel into NJ, so it could go to Staten Island via NJ Turnpike from Holland Tunnel.

What if 14th Street is blocked between 6th and 7th Avenue. Reroute the M14A/D and the M7.

 

M7: Southbound:

Via 7th Av, bear left onto Greenwich Av, turn left at 8th St, turn left at 6th Av, layover at 14th St.

M14A/D:

Eastbound: Turn right at 7th Av, bear left onto Greenwich Av, turn left at 8th St, turn left at 6th Av, turn right at 14th St, regular route.

Westbound: Turn right at 6th Av, turn left at 23rd St, turn left at 7th Av, turn right at 14th St, regular route.

 

Next:

What If:

All Central Park Transverse Rd closed between Madison Av & Columbus Av.

8th Av/Central Park West between 57th St and Frederick Douglass Circle closed.

Cathedral Parkway/110th St closed between Central Park West/Frederick Douglass Blvd & 5th Av closed.

Broadway closed between Columbus Av and 57th St closed.

5th Av from 108th St to 60th St closed.

60th-59th Sts closed from 5th Av to Columbus Circle.

Affects: BxM2, M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M7, M10, M20, M66, M72, M79, M86, M96, M106, X1, X7, X9.

A simple one:

 

Dekalb and Myrtle Avenues are closed between Marcus Garvey Blvd and Nostrand Avenue. Reroute westbound B38's and B54's.

 

 

I was wondering, could I do one in case of a depot closure

 

 

No, this is mainly for street closures, ask the OP (Gorgor).

B54 Westbound: Right onto Lewis, left onto Park, left onto Nostrand, right onto Myrtle.

 

B38 Westbound: Left onto Marcus G, right onto Greene, right onto Bedford, left onto Dekalb.

Just let them stop on the block before/after.

 

Layover buses could stop on opposite side of Archer Av and buses could use layover as pick-up by security booth where drivers takes break.

Some buses could layover along 153rd and 150th Sts.

 

Parson Blvd bus could correspond it's stop before Archer Av.

For those who want a challenge:

Due to a bomb threat the 165th Street terminal is closed. Keep in mind that nearby areas are also closed, including Hillside Avenue between 163rd Street to 167th Street and Jamaica Avenue from 163rd Street to 167th Street.
