This modern engineering wonder and important travel convenience was for lack of a better word, SO COOL! Crossing over and under open waters where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean, the Bridge-Tunnel provides a direct link between Southeastern Virginia and the Delmarva Peninsula (Delaware plus the Eastern Shore counties in Maryland and Virginia), and cuts 95 miles from the journey between Virginia Beach and points north of Wilmington, Delaware. Following its opening on April 15, 1964, the Bridge-Tunnel was selected "One of the Seven Engineering Wonders of the Modern World" Ok so enough with the history lesson, onto the photos....
Driving on the bridge getting ready to go into one of the tunnels.
Ok, so I didn't actually take this photo. I found it online. But I thought it was so cool how it shows this huge freight liner cross the water where the bridge turns into a tunnel and goes under water.
Photo Op!
Stopping for a lunch break at the Seagull Restaurant on the pier.
For what you ask? Crab cakes!Sorry, I forgot to get a "real" picture of the
restaurant.
For those of you who have stopped at the Seagull Restaurant on the pier, what is up with these creepy statues in there!!
