The '''Booth Tunnel''' is a four lane, two direction road tunnel connecting [[Algonquin]] with [[Alderney]] in [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]]. It is based on the [[wikipedia:Lincoln Tunnel|Lincoln Tunnel]] in New York City, but is presumably named after [[wp:John Wilkes Booth|John Wilkes Booth]], who assassinated [[wp:Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln]]. It is patrolled by the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]] with mini-[[Tollbooths|booths]] at both ends. The tunnel, along with the [[Hickey Bridge]] to the north, are the only points of access into [[Alderney]] via car. A [[Maverick]] spawns on a helipad on top of the Booth Tunnel, which is a popular spot for Multiplayer especially for Free Mode.
 
The '''Booth Tunnel''' is a road tunnel connecting [[Algonquin]] with [[Alderney]] in the [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] rendition of [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]].
 
== Description ==
Designed as the only road tunnel to link two islands in [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]], the Booth Tunnel, along with the [[Hickey Bridge]] to the north, are the only points of access into [[Alderney]] via car; it connects northern [[Westminster]] in Algonquin to southern [[Alderney City]] in Alderney. While the tunnel is a four lane, two direction connection, the tunnel's road bottlenecks to two lane throughfares at both ends of the tunnel, occasionally resulting in the player encountering difficulty exiting one end of the tunnel, especially at the Alderney end, which may not provide sufficient room for the player's car to squeeze though its opening.
 
The tunnel is guarded by the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]] officers with police-booths at both ends, which may occasionally depict a police officer inspecting the trunk of a parked car. A [[Maverick]] also spawns on a helipad over the Alderney end of the Booth Tunnel, which is a popular spot for multiplayer, especially for Free Mode.
 
The tunnel is based on the [[wikipedia:Lincoln Tunnel|Lincoln Tunnel]] in New York City, but the tunnel is presumably named after [[wp:John Wilkes Booth|John Wilkes Booth]], the assassin responsible for killing [[wp:Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln]]'s.
