Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel


Whether you are driving north or south,

the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel showcases the mighty
surge of the Atlantic Ocean, the beauty of the Chesapeake
Bay, and the soaring grace of an engineering marvel.

Both a tourist attraction and a travel convenience, the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge-Tunnel connects Virginia's Eastern Shore with the Virginia
mainland at Virginia Beach near Norfolk.

It is a nice day trip out to the pier
from the Williamsburg Virginia area

Thanks for that tip! Does that include admission to the homes, Governor's Palace, etc? Any discounts to the evening events?
Last year we went to the Crystal Concert in the Kimball theater. It was fantastic!
