Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel District

For over 56 years, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel has captured worldwide attention as a modern engineering wonder and an important East Coast travel convenience. 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. Drivers travelling the Bridge-Tunnel pass through Fisherman Island National Wildlife Refuge, a nesting site for migratory birds and other animals like the diamondback terrapin.
