Jim, You CAN drive a bridge that becomes a tunnel then becomes a bridge again - It's the Chesapeak Bay Bridge Tunnel on U S 13 between Capeville (Cape Charles) and Norfolk, Virginia. I've driven it a few times - it's quite awesome. As for some of those "awesome" roads you posted - definitely not what you want to look at BEFORE you have breakfast!!!!! LOL (or lunch either for that matter.) Hudsonly, Alex Burr Memphis, TN Edited September 5, 2008 by Alex Burr - hester_nec Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattinwilmington3 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2008 I've driven the Chesapeake Bridge/Tunnel round trip twice on trips to the NC Outer Banks from Delaware, Jim. It is interesting seeing how choppy the southern part of the Bay is. Word has it that two boats have slammed into the bridge in it's history....learned that on the Modern Marvels TV show....heh, heh. It has 2 two lane spans now. The tunnels are two lanes only in one tube....too expensive to build other tubes, I guess. As I recall, there are two short tunnels...only long enough to let large vessels over them, I assume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's called the Linville Cove Viaduct. http://www.pbase.com/image/69218913 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
