On the last day of our stay in Virginia Beach, Dave and I decided to visit the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and the Old Cape Henry Lighthouse. According to the official site The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (CBBT) is a 23-mile (37-km) long bridge-tunnel crossing the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and connecting the Delmarva Peninsula’s Eastern Shore of Virginia with Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads, Virginia.
The Delmarva Peninsula is occupied by most of Delaware state and portions of Maryland and Virginia states. It is a modern engineering marvel and is considered the world’s largest bridge-tunnel complex, which was opened in 1965. This Bridge is considered as both a tourist attraction and a travel convenience. Here is a aerial view of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel from a postcard.
