I first learned about this structure several years ago and when I noticed that our vacation plans were taking us very near it, decided that we should go across it! The Chesapeake Bay Bridge is almost eighteen miles long. In two places it goes underground for about a mile to provide open waterway overhead for ships to sail into the bay. We crossed the bridge in the very early morning going from Virginia Beach to Longwood Gardens and the sun came up over the horizon as we were driving! The second picture is on one of the islands where a tunnel starts. (I borrowed a picture from the internet so you could see what it looks like from above.)
