"Even as many things seem to have recovered remarkably since Sept. 11, the precariously balanced network of highways and rails, long overstrained before the attacks, is still suffering terribly and will continue to do so for much longer than most commuters had feared, transportation officials say.Though the subway recovered fairly quickly after the attack, it is still snarled weekly by security-related shutdowns and delays that officials say will probably not go away soon. The same uncertainty reigns on the roads, where tunnels and bridges can be closed on a moment's notice."
