Description
The 'Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel' photographed here in 2002, was originally opened in 1964. While the entire structure is 17.6 mile long, shore to shore, shown here is an entrance into the 1 mile long tunnel, preserving navigational traffic through the Thimble Shoals section of the Chesapeake Bay. The bridge tunnel is US Route 13 in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Both ends of the tunnel feature a manmade island.
