My wife and I went to OBX a few years ago. There was a hurricane off the coast, going into the tunnel wasn't bad but coming out, the waves were splashing onto the roadway. I have to admit, that was a little freaky.... I was glad to get back topside.
Bridge to a submarine base?

Some pics from a couple different trips across the bridge.

Naaa Ya need a really, really, really tall big for these babies.
In bad weather tall bridges are no fun for the road traffic.
The last time I went through it, it cost $6.00... if memory serves me correct.
One bridge in Norfolk had all the toll booths closed with a thank you saying that the bridge had been paid for (back in the 1970's).

$14 now, but it goes down to $6 with multiple trips and EZ Pass. Even down to $2 for same day returns.

I wonder if the Army Corp of engineers do those or private company?

Been through every tunnel in the area except that one.
The first time was on I-64 by the Navy base. I was on the bike and, lucky for me a storm blew a bunch of traffic barrels across the highway at the south end so traffic was stopped. I got to the middle of the tunnel and had to wait. I stayed dry and when traffic started the next exit was my destination.

I first went through the tunnels when I was about 14. It was a little freaky for a country boy that may have never been through a tunnel period.

I have been through the Laerdal tunnel in Norway in 2004. (In a Skoda Octavio wagon)

We have a number of old railroad tunnels near us. The old rail lines have been turned into bicycle trails. There is at least one that is long enough and has a slight curve at the south end to it so that you cannot see all the way through it. It's nearly 3/4 of a mile long.

In the early 70s tests were done in Ray's Hill tunnel studying emissions from cars using leaded gas.
The test vehicle was a Plymouth Satellite.
