The answer is yes.

Take the LIE west towards the Mid-town tunnel. Near the tunnel, there
is an exit onto I278, the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway towards BROOKLYN.
Take the BQE until you see an exit sign for MAHATTAN BRIDGE. Exit
and follow the signs to Mahattan Bridge. Go on the bridge and KEEP LEFT.
This will put you on to Canal Street westbound. At the west end of
Canal Street is the entry into HOLLAND TUNNEL, which will take you into
the Jersey City/Hoboken area. Alternatively, you can head uptown for
the Lincoln Tunnel and G. Washington Bridge, using the West Side Highway.

Manhattan Bridge is toll-free; you pay toll for the Holland and Lincoln
Tunnels and the GW Bridge only when crossing from NJ to NY and the cost
is $4. Because this route is toll-free, expect massive traffic during
rush hours.
