Chesapeake Bridge Tunnel sites
Fishing Pier on Southern-most Island of Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel, Norfolk
"There was a light that I followed
A hole to the stars
Bridges and tunnels winding through the dark
I wasn’t sure of where to go my mind was racing
And I heard a call in the air
That was spoken in tongues
If the words had a meaning I never knew what it was
Walking the rooms and hallways searching every door
Now all the light is gone
Don’t go hiding now
Don’t go hiding now"
Quantity surveyors manage all costs associated with building and civil Engineering projects. Their work is both office and site-based and the primary Goal is to keep them within the limits of a budget. Furthermore, they take part in Projects and work with contractors/clients right from the start, preparing Comprehensive project estimates. Often, they also gather tender and contract Documentation, conducts feasibility studies, and undertakes risk control. Once the Building process starts, quantity surveyors keep close tabs on any variations that May lead to cost fluctuations. There is a great importance of quantity surveyor in a particular project. If you wish to join quantity surveyor course in India we would recommend you to join us at Reinforce quantity surveyors and training Pvt. Ltd. Where you can learn detailed estimation of building, Bar Bending Schedule, RA Bill, Billing engineering, planning engineering with Primavera P6 and MSP. Reinforce is one of the best Quantity surveying institute in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. The students joining us learn different aspects of Road Estimation, Building estimation, Tunnel estimation and Bridge estimation as Well.

Erosion has formed several crevices, bridges and tunnels in the lava. This one is called 'Darwin's Toilet' and you can see why as the waves go out.
Built in 1960-1964 and expanded with a parallel set of bridges in 1995-1999, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel connects the mainland of the State of Virginia at Virginia Beach with the two Virginia counties, known as the Eastern Shore, which are at the southern tip of the Delmarva Peninsula. The 17.6 mile (28.3 kilometer) bridge replaced a ferry service that had operated between the two regions since the early 1930s. Prior to the construction of the Bridge-Tunnel, the only fixed route between the Eastern Shore and the rest of Virginia was through the state of Maryland, via the Chesapeake Bay Bridge further up the Chesapeake Bay 140 miles (225 kilometers) to the north, or an overland route 180 miles (290 kilometers) to the north around the northern reaches of the bay. The Bridge-Tunnel was constructed with tunnel sections at the major shipping channels in and out of Hampton Roads and the Chesapeake Bay so as to not impede ship traffic in the event of the failure of the bridges, with two tunnels, each 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) long, carrying traffic under the Thimble Shoal Channel approximately 4 miles (6.5 kilometers) offshore of Virginia Beach, as well as the Chesapeake Channel approximately 9 miles (14.5 kilometers) offshore of Virginia Beach. Additionally, 75-foot (23 meter) high span of the bridge carries traffic above the smaller North Channel, located a half-mile (750 meters) off of Fisherman’s Island. The bridge-tunnel was a significant undertaking that required immense funding and engineering, and remains a toll bridge to this day. Today, work is underway at Thimble Shoal Channel to add a second tunnel and expand the roadway to four lanes, which is expected to be completed in 2027. In the following decade, it is expected that a second tunnel will be built at the Chesapeake Channel, expanding the entire crossing to four lanes by 2040. The bridge-tunnel today remains under the purview of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel District, and was officially renamed in honor of Lucius J. Kellam Jr. as the Lucius J. Kellam Jr. Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel in 1987.
The bridge is 20 miles long. There are also 2 tunnels, each one is a mile long. It's 22 miles across over and under the water.
Showing the year this train bridge and tunnel was completed. It started in 1926 by the Union Pacific Railroad and completed 5 years later. Note, I found the remains of a young deer who was hit earlier this year by a train inside the tunnel! Interesting things to find around here. ISO 3200 because of the tunnel shadows, but I could have chosen a smaller ISO since the sunlight was coming out. Aperture 5.6. Used my 18-55mm lens.

Former Bridge and tunnel of the Central Railroad of New Jersey at Moyer's Rock on the Lehigh River in Glen Onoko, PA.
100yr old Railway bridge across the river in Karangahake Gorge, between Paeroa & Waihi. The Bridge and tunnel that it leads to were completed in 1905.
