Route map: The Chesapeake Bay Bridge–Tunnel (CBBT, officially the Lucius J. Kellam Jr. Bridge–Tunnel) is a 17.6-mile (28.3 km) bridge–tunnel that crosses the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay between Delmarva and Hampton Roads in the U.S. state of Virginia. It opened in 1964, replacing ferries that had operated since the 1930s.
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel is only 20 minutes from Chesapeake, and it is the main roadway from Delaware, Maryland, and the Eastern Shore into Coastal Virginia.
The tunnel segments of the original tunnels were built in Orange, TX and floated to VA. The ventilation buildings located on each of the manmade islands are manned round-the-clock. Island Two will “receive” the tunnel boring machine (TBM) as she completes her dig under Thimble Shoal Channel.
