Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel: is a 17 mile bridge - tunnel which is beautiful But is very dangerous.

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (CBBT, officially the Lucius J. Kellam Jr. Bridge-Tunnel) is a 17.6-mile (28.3 km) bridge-tunnel that crosses the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay between Delmarva and Hampton Roads in the U.S. state of Virginia.
It opened in 1964, replacing ferries that had operated since the 1930s. A major project to dualize its bridges was completed in 1999, and in 2017 a similar project was started to dualize one of its tunnels.
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel was opened to traffic April 15, 1964, and connects Virginia's Eastern Shore and Hampton Roads. Since then, 14 vehicles went through the rails and over the edge. The incidents have resulted in 16 fatalities, with only two tractor-trailer drivers surviving the fall, said Thomas R.
